Pineapple may be just as good for relieving pain as aspirin, according to a new U.K. study. The discovery stems from a finding that a pineapple extract called bromelain may have powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Pineapple juice contains some bromelain, but the stalk of the plant is the best source. That's why supplements are generally the best way to get the nutrient. (Nearly all large pharmacies and health-food stores carry bromelain. You can also look for it online.) Most researchers recommend a dose of around 540 milligrams for maximum painkilling potential.
