- 93% of the 1,337 products that print an amount of bromelain list more than its 9.09 mg of bromelain (median 50 mg).
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
