Kimose main ingredients include:
Bromelain 40mg (equivalent to 20,000 IU) Crystallized Trypsin 1g (equivalent to 2500 IU) And excipients just enough for one enteric coated tablet. Bromelain
Bromelain is known as a proteolytic enzyme, so it has the ability to break down fibrin of blood clots, help prevent blood clotting and improve blood circulation. Bromelain enzyme slows down the clotting of platelets and prevents the accumulation of plaque in the arteries, which leads to the formation of blood clots. Meanwhile, bromelain also slows the growth of prostaglandins, which are involved in many functions from blood clotting to blood reproduction. When the concentration of prostaglandins in the blood is too high, it will lead to negative effects such as swelling, inflammation and accompanying fever.
Bromelain with prostaglandin inhibition has been shown to be as effective in reducing swelling as naproprofen, ibuprofen, piroxicam or diclofenac.
Besides, bromelain can also reduce pain and improve functioning in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Bromelain's effect on blood-related diseases such as angina pectoris, thrombosis or relief of indigestion and stomach pain is also applied to clinical treatment.
Trypsin
Trypsin is known to be a protease secreted by the pancreas, then emptying into the small intestine through the large and small pancreatic ducts, which functions to hydrolyze proteins.
Trypsin is initially formed in an inactive form called trypsinogen, which is then activated by the enzyme enteropeptidase to become Trypsin. Trypsin catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, which breaks down proteins into many smaller peptides. The peptides are then hydrolyzed by other digestive enzymes into amino acids. Because of this function, Trypsin is necessary for the digestive process to convert food proteins into amino acids for the body to absorb.
Applied in pharmacology, Trypsin has the ability to destroy the binding of proteins of inflammatory fluid, help reduce edema, reduce tissue destruction, anti-inflammatory in patients after surgery, injury, sprain.
