Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). It is found in the fruit, stem, and leaves of the pineapple, with the highest concentration typically present in the stem. Bromelain is known for its ability to break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, making it a valuable enzyme for digestive health. Additionally, bromelain possesses anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties, which contribute to its diverse range of applications.
Evening primrose oil, extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plant (Oenothera biennis), is a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid. Known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, this oil is widely used in the health and beauty industries. It helps promote skin health, supports hormonal balance, and alleviates symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause. Due to its unique composition, evening primrose oil is popular in dietary supplements and skincare products. It is typically cold-pressed to preserve its nutritional value and is valued for its versatility and wide range of applications, from cosmetics to functional foods.
