Pain and swelling is the most common symptom of a musculoskeletal disorder. Pain ranges from mild to severe, from acute and short-term to chronic and long-term, and can be local or widespread. Musculoskeletal pain can be caused by disorders of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, bursae, or a combination thereof. Musculoskeletal pain is usually caused by difficult working conditions, sports, repetitive movements, injuries, etc.
Whatever the cause of the pain, it prevents the performance of daily activities and reduces the quality of life. Very common images in the pharmacy are that the patient comes with pain, swelling, and limited mobility, and according to the good old rules, he is looking for something to relieve the pain. We all know, and the patients also know, how much all these drugs harm the stomach. As much as it is not good to take them in the long run, all these drugs have anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory effect), and without them, no comprehensive pain therapy can be imagined.
Therefore, in recent years, much attention has been paid to proteolytic enzymes with anti-inflammatory effects, which are used as an alternative and/or complementary therapy to nonsteroidal antirheumatic drugs.
All in order to achieve the effect without having negative effects on our gastrointestinal system.
The most dominant plant proteolytic enzyme Bromelain, and enzymes from fermented maltodextrins are among the most commonly used and safest anti-inflammatory enzymes of natural origin on the market, in particular, bromelain is registered as a medicine in many countries, including Italy, thus demonstrating its effectiveness and safety.
In order to justify their effectiveness and safety, we must look at their specific mode of action.
In fact, according to several scientific publications, bromelain blocks the synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, increasing the production of prostaglandins with anti-inflammatory activity, thus avoiding the gastrointestinal damage typical of NSAIDs.

Various biological processes such as anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous, and analgesic, are involved in the therapeutic actions of bromelain mediated by arachidonic acid.
