First identify the type/cause of edema—salt/carbs, hormones, inactivity, and inflammation are different. Bromelain has mainly been discussed as supportive care in inflammation-related swelling, not as a universal “water remover.” Follow label dosing, avoid high-dose chasing, consider taking with meals if GI-sensitive, and check bleeding/interactions (anticoagulants, NSAIDs, surgery plans). Don’t stack with strong diuretic blends. Build the foundation: salt control, hydration, movement, sleep. Red-flag symptoms require medical evaluation.
