Bromelain is an enzyme, a proteolytic enzyme to be exact, that plays a
part in dozens of bodily processes. And one of its key roles is to help you get
rid of mucous. In fact, bromelain has been proven in studies to make a huge

with asthma, making it even harder for sufferers to breathe.

along with sinusitis, which goes a long way toward making your head feel
better. And it can help your sore throat, too—because if you’re stuck with the
post nasal drip that comes along with sinus infections, your throat is probably
killing you.
