What brand do you use and how much do you take? Would getting the quercitin/bromelain mix be a better idea? Very good reviews for decreasing inflammation.

I have a girlfriend that was going to have surgery, she would die if she knew I told you it was cosmetic, but she won't find out. Her doctor had her take bromelain before the surgery and after, to help with the inflammation from the surgery.

This is one of the first surgeons I have ever heard recommend herbs.

Did you take it, PeteZa? How much did you take?

I always said I would have a mini facelift when the time was appropriate. Well, I guess that won't happen now. Getting my life back is more important. I can now see how vain I was back then. I will grow old gracefully, I hope.....lol

I did take bromelain in 2005 when I had my knees scoped. I don't know if it helped or not because I had no comparison. It certainly did not hurt me.

My girlfriend had tummy fat removed. She had holes all around her mid section. I don't know if it helped her or not.

I'm not very vain. I am blessed with few wrinkles. My 85 yr old mother looks amazingly like she is only 60.

Although I did color my hair for years until about a year ago. I am now in the process of finding out what my real hair color is.... It is grey. Duh, I knew that, but mine is not the white grey, more the grey with a little black grey and not all over.

I don't think quercetin or bromelain will hurt you in any way. I took quercetin for allergies beginning years ago. I have been into herbs since the 60's..... Just an old hippie.

We used to do Guarana on Saturdays to get the house clean. LOL!! Spoonful of that in our coffee and we girls were flying around the house cleaning. Fun memories

Taking too large of a dose will cause stomach upset is the only issue I know of.

Yes, the bromelain will also help with the inflammation. I believe I took 2 doses a day (it was a while back, but considering getting back on it again now).

For the Quercetin, I've never tried both it and bromelain at the same time, so I take 1000 mgs of quercetin before each meal right now (twice a day). Again, I'm not using bromelain right now though. I would encourage you to start off slow and find the dose that will be of the most help to you. You may or may not need as much as say, I do - or you may need more for a time.

quercumine 293mg, quercitine203mg and Piperine 4mg. 3x2/day/

the pepper aids in absorbtion.

asfaik it is a biofilm buster, may cause a herx.
