Answer 1

Yes, the combination is often found in herbal/natural remedies for joint pain. Bromelain must be taken on empty stomach for anti-inflammatory effect.

Here's one example of the 2 herbs in combination: http://www.seacoastvitamins.com/product_...

And here's an article suggesting one take bromelain with his/her turmeric to alleviate possible digestive problems: http://www.nutritional-supplement-educat...

Answer 2

Bromelain and a good osteopath is a better combination!

Answer 3

Yes, Turmeric and Bromelain are perfectly safe to take together. Turmeric is a very good antioxidant that is also beneficial for liver health; Bromelain is good for digestion and joint health.

Aside from that, there are several other natural supplements that help joint health, which may remove the cause of the pain. The most popular are Microlactin, Tart Cherries, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid, and Litozin (Danish Rose Hips).

Good luck!
