Derived from pineapple stems, bromelain comprises various proteolytic enzymes classified as cysteine or thiol proteinases. Its longstanding reputation as a digestive aid stems from its ability to digest proteins across a broad pH range. Beyond its role as a digestive enzyme, bromelain has been found to be absorbed in the digestive tract, retaining its enzymatic activity in the bloodstream. Among its diverse enzymatic effects, bromelain exhibits potent anti-inflammatory properties by reducing levels of inflammatory signals such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB).

Bromelain's anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic, and analgesic effects contribute to its musculoskeletal benefits. In an open-label trial, bromelain supplementation exhibited a dose-dependent effect, reducing acute knee pain, stiffness, and improving function.
