So, the higher the GDU, the more potent the product is. Note that when shopping for Bromelain products, GDU is usually specified by gram weight. Note also the weight of EACH capsule or tablet which is usually 500 mg or 1/2 gram. So in this case, the ingredients list says *per capsule, so you'll be getting 1,200 GDU per each 500 mg capsule, not 2,400 GDU. **Q: Does this make bodily fluids taste better?** A: No, flavored natural or artificial does not transfer to the body fluids. You will not taste like something you have eaten. **Q: What is 2400gdu and is it better than 600gdu?** A: Gelatin Digesting Units (GDU) is a measure of the digesting activity of an enzyme. Higher the number of units higher is the potency. Most people who use Bromelain contend that 2400gdu strength is better than 600gdu. There are no adverse effects if the body does not need all of it. **Q: How long does it take before you feel the effects for pain** A: Kathy- I take Bromelain as part of a combination of pills to guard against a recurrence of Gout- they aid in flushing uric acid crystals from your system. Sorry, don't know about effect on pain, but do know they came highly recommended for gout relief ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Foods Supplements, Bromelain (Natural Proteolytic Enzyme) 2,400 GDU/g - 500 mg, Natural Proteolytic Enzyme*, 120 Veg Capsules - Boiron Arnica Montana 30C Homeopathic Medicine for Relief from Muscle Pain, Muscle Stiffness, Swelling from Injury, and Discoloration from Bruises - 3 Count (240 Pellets) - Boiron Arnicare Gel Natural Soothing Relief for Joint Pain, Muscle Pain, Inflammation, Soreness, and Bruises - Non-greasy and Fragrance-Free - 2.6 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4046767-now-foods-supplements-bromelain-natural-proteolytic-enzyme-2-400-gdu](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4046767-now-foods-supplements-bromelain-natural-proteolytic-enzyme-2-400-gdu) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-19*
