Bromelain and other proteolytic enzymes are sometimes recommended for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, but there is no concrete evidence as yet that they are effective. It is thought that this supplement might help through its ability to reduce some inflammation.
Bromelain, or proteolytic enzymes, are enzymes produced by the body that help digest the proteins in food.
The primary use of proteolytic enzymes is as a digestive aid for people who have trouble digesting proteins. However, proteolytic enzymes may also be absorbed internally to some extent and may reduce pain and inflammation (as is characteristic of symptoms in with those with carpal tunnel syndrome.)
