For everybody, every day.

• Supports the body’s normal healing process
• Promotes optimal cell health
• Supports the body’s normal tissue and recovery repair process
  
• Supports a healthy immune system
• Supports healthy joint function
• Promotes healthy blood circulation
• May help support normal blood viscosity and blood platelet aggregation

Your body needs support on the inside and the outside. That’s why we’ve developed Isotonix Bromelain Plus: to help support your body, letting you take action to help your body face what life puts in front of you.* With its unique combination of bromelain, white willow bark and protease, Isotonix Bromelain Plus promotes your body’s immune system, helping support the body’s normal ability to heal itself on a cellular and muscular level.* Inside our bodies, certain cells normally detected by the immune system “disguise” themselves from the immune system using a protein layering as a shield. Thanks to its unique formula, Isotonix Bromelain Plus helps support your body’s ability to engage in “cellular house cleaning,” breaking down that protein layer to support your immune system, offering superior cellular protection.*

Isotonix Bromelain Plus also works synergistically with the body’s own repair system, promoting the body’s normal healing process.* Isotonix Bromelain Plus also supports your body’s healthy metabolic response, providing beneficial enzymes that help support your tissue recovery. Most competitor products containing bromelain don’t match what you’ll find in Isotonix Bromelain Plus, nor do they contain the complementary ingredient white willow bark. In addition, Isotonix Bromelain Plus delivers these ingredients in an isotonic form, meaning you’re getting a fast-absorbing, superior delivered product that works quickly and effectively.* Support your body in facing what life puts in its way. Isotonix Bromelain Plus is for everybody, every day.*

Bromelain
Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes found in the stems of pineapples. It is distinct from the bromelain found in the pineapple fruit. Bromelain is used as a meat tenderizer in one application, but has other mechanisms that support various aspects of health.* As a mixture of proteases, bromelain has been used by Europeans for many years, as its components work to help support the body’s normal healing process. This is important for healthy joint function and adequate tissue repair, which supports the body’s normal recovery process.* Research also shows that bromelain may help support healthy blood viscosity and blood platelet aggregation, promoting healthy circulation. It also supports normal levels of fibrin in the blood, which promotes normal healing.* Another study provided support of bromelain for promoting overall general well-being, along with support of comfort and physical function. There is also support for its role in promoting healthy cells. Bromelain also works to digest protein, but when taken on an empty stomach, it is not used as a digestive enzyme, but provides systemic effects throughout the body.*

White Willow Bark
White willow bark is the bark of the salix tree which is native to Europe and Asia. Its name comes from the color of the leaves, which are covered with white hairs. White willow bark has been traditionally used for many years, dating back as far as the ancient Egyptians who used it for its health properties.* Willow bark constituents include flavonoids, tannins and salicylates. The active constituent of willow bark is thought to be salicin. In the body, salicin is metabolized to salicyl alcohol and then to salicylic acid. White willow bark has been shown to support normal blood platelet aggregation and promote healthy blood flow.*

Protease 
Proteases are proteolytic enzymes that work to break specific peptide bonds or break down a complete peptide to amino acids. Oral proteases taken on an empty stomach are absorbed and carried into the bloodstream where they work to help maintain healthy cellular proteins. As systemic enzymes, proteases support the body’s normal recovery process.*
