Bromelain is found in pineapple juice or stem.
looks like a nice substance for significantly reducing inflammation, improving gut health, potentially bettering cancer outcomes, blood thinning, & tendon healing.
It improves tendon injury healing through stimulating tenoblasts proliferation
Bromelain in the early phase of healing in acute crush Achilles tendon injury

another one same dose
vitamin C also has a beneficial effect on tendon healing through collagen , at 70mg human studies. one human rotator cuff study for 500mg over months showed no group healing differences apart from less rate of low healing response w vit c group. maybe a better effect if using after the initial injury time. a rat study showed high dose vit C improved exceeding tendon healing by 30 days , but less tendon strength during initial period
If i had a tendon injury / surgery. to accelerate healing i'd drop antioxidants for the first day.
on the 1st day i'd start with 100mg bromelain a day.
then a few days later i would start taking 100mg vit C a day too, at a separate later time to the bromelain.
and would eat 1.5 - 2 grams / kg bodyweight protein as complex proteins from meat etc

Bromelain in the early phase of healing in acute crush Achilles tendon injury
7mg/kg rats 70mg - 100mg human dose for 2 weeks
Tenocytes are tendon-specific fibroblasts and are considered to be made up approximately 95% of tendon tissueRegarding the morphology of the healing tendon, the bromelain-treated tendon showed coarse, well-aligned collagen fibers with mature tenocytes (Fig. 1), whereas the pineapple-treated tendon also showed well-aligned collagen fibers but with active proliferating tenoblasts
in bromelaine group, tenocytes already hit maturity at 14 days
The results showed a significant increase in the tenocyte population in the bromelain group; p < 0.05.
