【劑量換算】
* 單位種類:GDUs (gelatin digesting units)、MCUs (milk clotting units)、mg
* 換算:1mg = 4GDUs = 6MCUs
【適應症與劑量】
* For inflammation, muscle and joint pain, and injuries:
Take 500 mg three times a day between meals; this 1,500 mg should supply 6,000 GDU or 9,000 MCU daily
For indigestion and heartburn: Take 500 mg three times a day with meals; this 1,500 mg should supply 6,000 GDU or 9,000 MCU daily.
* For gout:
During acute flare-ups, take 500 mg every three hours until the attack subsides. To prevent further gout attacks, decrease the bromelain to 500 mg twice a day (this 1,000 mg should supply 4,000 GDU or 6,000 MCU daily) and add 500 mg of quercetin twice a day. Quercetin reduces the high uric acid levels that can cause the inflammation and pain of gout; this flavonoid is more readily absorbed in combination with bromelain.
* For upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, and allergies:
Take 500 mg twice a day between meals; this 1,000 mg should supply 4,000 GDU or 6,000 MCU daily.
* For carpal tunnel syndrome:
During the acute phase, take 1,000 mg twice a day between meals until symptoms ease; this 2,000 mg should supply 8,000 GDU or 12,000 MCU daily. (During the acute phase, bromelain is most effective if combined with with 50 mg of vitamin B6 in 100 mg pills taken three times a day. Once symptoms subside, reduce the bromelain to 500 mg twice a day; this 1,000 mg should supply 4,000 GDU or 6,000 MCU daily.
* For cuts and scrapes:
Take 500 mg three times a day between meals for five days; this 1,500 mg should supply 6,000 GDU or 9,000 MCU daily.
* For insect bites and stings:
Take 500 mg three times a day between meals until symptoms decrease; this 1,500 mg should supply 6,000 GDU or 9,000 MCU daily.
* For eczema:
Take 500 mg of bromelain twice a day between meals (this 1,000 mg should supply 4,000 GDU or 6,000 MCU daily) and 300 mg of quercetin three times a day. Be sure to check out our Dosage Recommendations Chart for Bromelain, which lists therapeutic dosages for specific ailments at a glance.
【Guidelines for Use】
Take bromelain on an empty stomach (between meals), unless you’re using it as a digestive aid, in which case you should take it just before eating.
Consider combination products. Because bromelain enhances the effect of different compounds, for convenience they are sometimes sold together. Common pairings include bromelain and quercetin and bromelain and turmeric.
Avoid taking if you have a active gastric or duodenal ulcer. |
