Bromelain capsules?

I know this has been asked before, but what is the recommended dosage (if any) for the bromelain caps?  I want to try the caps this time instead of eating pineapple.  I am a Type 1 diabetic and like to avoid any extra and unnecessary carbs so I'd prefer not to eat the core like I used to in a smoothie.  I just don't want to eat/drink any extra calories.  I know that the dosage of bromelain can't really be determined  in the pineapple core, though. 

 I looked up bromelain capsules on my local vitamin shop's website (Vitamin Shoppe) and it looks like they come in 500 mg capsules and recommend to take 1-2 capsules daily with meal.  I guess I'd just take 2 capsules a day. 
 

TIA for any info!

    i took trader joe's chewables ($2 for 100 caps)- 2 a day w/ only 45 mg.  I had great lining, and a bfp this month but who knows!  I had the same concerns you do because i'm hypoglycemic and i avoided smoothies and ate straight up core - yuck!!!   i did a little research and it the internet said for use for IF to make sure you take it on an EMPTY stomach.  Otherwise, it just aides in the digestion of proteins and the amount of bromelin that gets to your uterus is minimal. 

     if you're worried about hte dosage, talk to your RE.

    good luck :)
