NOW Foods Turmeric & Bromelain combines two of the most researched natural anti-inflammatory compounds in a single convenient capsule. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) contains curcuminoids — particularly curcumin — that modulate multiple inflammatory signaling pathways simultaneously, providing broader anti-inflammatory coverage than single-pathway inhibitors. Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme naturally derived from pineapple stem, complements curcumin by promoting normal tissue repair, reducing post-exercise soreness, and enhancing the absorption of curcumin through its effects on intestinal permeability. This synergistic pairing makes for a more effective anti-inflammatory formula than either ingredient alone. NOW Foods uses standardized turmeric extract alongside therapeutic-dose bromelain in a vegetarian capsule, manufactured and tested in their own GMP-certified laboratory.
