Bromelain

Bromeliad is an enzyme that is commonly seen in pineapples. It is known to have anti-inflammatory properties and might help treat cardiovascular diseases [6]. A 2016 study discovered that if bromelain is added to blood samples it increases the time it takes for your blood to clot. However, studies also show that administering bromelain into a small number of mice does not affect their blood clot. You can consume bromelain in pineapples and as a supplement.
