Raw foods provide enzymes that naturally break down food for proper absorption. The capacity of the living organism to make enzymes diminishes with age.

Bromelain is a proteolytic digestive enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) that can enhance absorption of protein and aid in digestion.69,70 It may also affect protein turnover in the body including proteins found in joint tissue, promoting only healthy inflammatory reactions.71  The strength of enzymes is often expressed as milk-clotting units (MCU) and gelatin digestive units (GDU) per gram.
