It might help with digestion in some cases, although I don't think most
people need help in that area. However bromelain is itself a protein
and will be broken up in the digestive system just like all the others.
Orally consumed bromelain will get into your body to do anything to
protein turnover. As far as the rest of your system is concerned,
it's just a source of amino acids like all other proteins.
