Metabolism
Bromelain is absorbed in the human intestine and from there it enters the bloodstream. In the blood it binds to the so-called alpha2-macroglobulin. Macroglobulins are transport proteins that can bind certain substances in the blood and thus transport them to their destinations. Bromelain is rapidly metabolized by the liver and thus eliminated from the circulation.
Do you need a prescription?
Bromelain is available in pharmacies, but not on prescription. It may therefore only be sold by pharmacies, but no prescription is required. Nevertheless, it is advisable not to act on your own initiative, but to consult a doctor first. This doctor can assess the necessity, usefulness and risks of a Wobenzym therapy and finally issue a prescription, which can also reduce the amount to be paid in the pharmacy.
