Bromelain is useful in cardiovascular disease. This means that blood clots are less likely to form. It inhibits prostaglandins that cause inflammation and promotes the formation of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. It has also been used effectively in arthritis , hemorrhoids , sinusitis , thrombophlebitis, varicose veins , ulcers and inflammatory bowel disorders. Baldness is also mediated by inflammation and regular use of Bromelain may inhibit the process.
