The correct dose of the dry extract titrated as above is 10-15 mg of extract per body weight per day. To be taken 15-20 minutes before or immediately after main meals. Can be taken for prolonged periods of time.
It is a plant rich in enzymes, the most important of which is bromelain. Its colour comes from carotenoids and its aroma is a mixture of substances containing calcium oxalate.
Aids digestion; acts against the orange-peel skin which is typical of cellulite.
Aids food digestion particularly after heavy meals rich in fats and proteins. Its draining action on the skin may be beneficial for some skin disorders like cellulite and for helping the healing of scar tissue. In fact, the substances in pineapple increase the permeability of the blood vessel walls and so encourage the re-entry of edemas to the vascular bed, reducing their negative effects on various organs and improving microcirculation, the lack of which is the main cause of cellulite. For cellulite treatment, it is recommended that pineapple extract be taken for long periods of time (at least 3-4 consecutive months).
No noticeable side effects or contraindications. It can also be used during pregnancy and breast-feeding and may be given to children of 3-4 years old.
