Curcumin is also an antioxidant that helps to stabilize membranes that are damaged by inflammation.

Bromelain, an enzyme isolated from the stem of the pineapple plant, aids in digestion by breaking down protein, and improves the absorption of turmeric. Bromelain also helps with blood vessel and joint inflammation. Bromelain blocks the body`s production of kinins, reducing swelling and promoting healing. Bromelain`s most common application is in the treatment of inflammation and soft tissue injuries. It has been shown to speed healing from bruises and hematomas.
