Does pineapple really help with implantation?
My Google search has listed internet references that state that “Pineapple contains bromelain. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks up proteins that inhibit embryo implantation.” However, I have not come across any medical studies that validate this hypothesis. Bromelain is digested by the GI system, and its metabolites may not affect the endometrium. I have done an extensive Medline computer literature search that references all articles published in major allopathic medical and scientific journals over the past 4 decades, and I could not find a single research study that supports this concept. My recommendation is that you eat pineapple only if you enjoy it.
