Ultra High Strength Bromelain 500mg - 3600 GDU/Gram - Highly Concentrated and Bioavailable - Third-Party Tested Formula - 120 Vegetarian Capsules - 120 Servings Per Container - Bromelain Supplement

I have ulcerative colitis, a very severe form of it. I've been on every medication, even multiple forms of chemotherapy with no success. Although this remains an issue for me, I've run the gamut of pain medications from over the counters to even Percocet & Fentanyl patches up to 50mcg with minimal positive effect. I didn't like putting all that poison in my body, especially when it was largely ineffective.But I desperately needed pain relief. I had heard about the health benefits of bromelain, but I don't own a blender powerful enough to make the core of a pineapple edible/drinkable. Bromelain supplements became the next idea.Admittedly, I do take them with other herbs such as slippery elm, licorice root & marshmallow etc... root to help ease my gut symptoms, but the latter do not affect my pain levels. The bromelain does, it's also a great anti-inflammatory for the gut! I find that it is almost as effective as prescription pain medications without all the nasty side effects. Taking Toniiq's bromelain makes my life more bearable, and does so safely. I take two a day, one in the AM and one at night. It's a small pill, with no odor or aftertaste. I'm very glad to have come across it because without it, the pain with my disease is such that I can't leave bed (except to go to the bathroom).I'll need more help health-wise down the road, but this supplement will be a mainstay of my diet going forward.Lastly, I had a concern about taking the bromelain at first. I have pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in both lungs). As a result, I'm on a blood thinner. That medication is Xarelto, and Xarelto has no anticoagulant. I'm unable to take Nsaids like Advil because of it. So I was initially concerned because bromelain is also an anticoagulant. I was mistakenly making a connection that it might complicate that matter thinking that bromelain was a blood thinner, but it is not. It has anticoagulant properties, and since I'm already on an anticoagulant, nothing changes, so it's safe for me to take. I've been taking this supplement now for five weeks, and I only have positive things to say.I'm very thankful to have discovered it. Try it, see if you too can get off of or avoid stronger prescription pain killers.I'll also mention, that I have severe back injuries (herniated / bulging discs, broken vertebrae etc...). This isn't going to help with THAT kind of pain, but my UC is so severe, that the benefits I get from bromelain are incredible! I desperately needed some relief, and am fortunate to have found it.I highly recommend.

Most other brands, and all the lower potency ones, seem really substandard. Some 2200 GDU is mostly sugar and ineffective. This product is consistently very potent and has so many uses and benefits.

I used to drink liquid pineapple juice until one day I swallowed it and noticed it had gone rancid. This unfortunately caused me great gastrointestinal distress. I then decided to find an alternative and chose this product. I take it if my meal consists of meat. Easy to take and swallow. As they say “No mess-No fuss” For me it’s great. In my opinion you can’t go wrong unless you’re allergic to pineapple.

I have used other Bromelain products before and find the Toniiq brand to be particular effective. I can actually feel a difference.

I bought this for period/menstrual pain relief. Seeing as I can only use it once a month it's going to last for a while. but this product I think is going to make all the difference for all of my periods to come. I took 6 the day I started bleeding not all at the same time. I took them about 3 to 6 hours apart. And I have to say normally my cramps are debilitating but while taking this they became a dull ache in the background (I really didn't even need my heating pad). I didn't need to take any on the second day of my cycle and in fact one of the other things that some people might be worried about is you can bleed heavier when you take this on your period. The the day I took this my flow was heavy which isn't abnormal for me because I'm used to having a heavy flow but most of my actual menstruation happened on this day, the first day. The next day it was light and then I went into spotting the day after that. Never has my period been so efficient.This definitely comes down to a timing and knowing your body thing, but in regards to the product itself if I had tried to someone else's bromelain that wasn't of this strength and quality this 'period hack' probably wouldn't have worked.In short it definitely helped with the pain. It wasn't hard to swallow. It didn't taste like anything.

I have already told everyone about this product. I had rhinoplasty recently so I bought this to help reduce the swelling. It worked..it also worked on the rest of my body which has been the unplanned benefit. I awoke the next morning feeling lighter and less stiff, I couldnt believe it. I forgot to take this one night this week and I felt the difference so I know it is the product working. I will not only take this while I am healing from surgery but it has been permantely added to my everyday supplements! Thank you for creating such a great product. I selected a 5 on the taste, but it has no taste, no after taste that I can tell at this point. It is easy to swallow, same an most vitamins and supplements. I wouldnt use this as a pain medication only if the pain is in direct response to the swelling...but if it is then yes 100% the swelling will be reduced. At least it worked 100% for me.

Capsules are covered in powder, not sure if one of them might have opened and spilled? Not crazy about the container, its not a pill jar like most supplements come in. You have to reach in to pull out a capsule and with the powder on the capsules, its kinda messy/unsanitary...I havent noticed anything better than other brands, seem to work about as ok as others Ive tried, not sure I will be buying this brand again.

I use it as a digestive aid and it works.
