ananas is a pineapple right? if so, then its a decent source. not really enough to give you any major anti-inflamotory effects, unless your eating 1 or 2 pineapples a day (which i would not recomend). reliance makes a good, cheap bromelaine supplement.

this talks about aprox how many GDU of bromelaine is in pineapple and pineapple juice.

im a big proponent of: if it works, stick with it!

but, make sure your dried pineapple isnt soaked/covered in white sugar or high-frucose syrups which will antagonize inflamation. it would also be a good idea to buy low/un-sulfured pineapple which you should be able to find at any healthfood store

if you have bad inflamation, theres alot of stuff you can add to your diet and supplement that will help a good deal.

cutting out refined sugars and refined grains/flours would be a big help...eating fresh ginger & rosemary everyday is good. you could also pop a pill of bromeline while your eating pineapple(reliance makes a good bromeline).

if you have the money, new chapter makes a supplement called 'zyflamend' which is tumeric, ginger, rosemary and a few other things. its EXTREMELY effective at reducing inflamation... a few months ago i had a pretty nasty injury and it really helped me manage the pain and inflamation. just make sure you take it with food or it will cause some stomach upset.
