Great for surgery recovery!
I was having a pretty invasive surgery and while doing a lot of research before hand to help with the recovery process I read many articles suggesting to take Arnica and Bromelain together to help minimize swelling, bruising and pain. I asked my surgeon about it before hand and she told me I can take them, but she didn’t believe that they helped at all. So I gave it a whirl anyways and after doing a lot of research on amazon for the right brand I decided to go with these. I started taking them, with the Bromelain 3 days before my surgery. I was so shocked when I came out of surgery and my surgeon told me I had the least amount of swelling and bruising she had ever seen doing that particular type of surgery!! I continued to take them the week following my surgery and had no additional swelling, or bruising! I can’t speak much for the pain relieving side of as, as I was on pain medication as well. I stopped taking them a week after, and I started swelling a bit more... so I started them back up again and poof it went away! I am a firm believer that these really do help!
