For over 30 years, serrapeptase has been used in traditional medicine throughout Asia and Europe. Additionally, it has been extensively studied in North America for its therapeutic benefits.
Proteolytic enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin are naturally produced by the human body to carry out essential functions of breaking down proteins into smaller peptides for efficient digestion and nutrient absorption. Plant, fungal and microbial proteolytic enzymes produced from pineapple, papaya and species of non-pathogenic fungi and bacteria such as Aspergillus and Serratia also confer a benefit. Beyond digestion, research has demonstrated the effectiveness of supplemental proteolytic enzymes in other areas of health and wellness, including immune, cardiovascular, physiological and systemic health.*
When taken on an empty stomach, Serrapeptase is absorbed through the intestine and transported directly into the bloodstream. The enzyme binds to alpha-2 macroglobulin in a 1:1 ratio, allowing it to retain enzymatic activity. Once in the body, it works to optimize health by having an affinity for proteins that are dead, damaged or do not belong.*
Recommended Dose:
1 capsule daily on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. More may be taken as needed. Consult a physician before use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medications or have a medical condition.
