General Information Comment Organism
physiological function bromelain enzyme from pineapple fruit acts as an antiviral agent against HIV, hepatitis C and human papiloma virus. Patients are given two glasses of fresh juice from pineapple fruits per day resulting in reduced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) load. Bromelain might cause some damage on the virus envelope protein structural components. Direct contact of bromelain enzymes from fruit powder with HI viruses causes morphological changes on the viruses Ananas comosus
