Serratiopeptidase
SERRATIOPEPTIDASE
OVERVIEW
Serratiopeptidase helps the body break down proteins, thereby reducing inflammation
CLASSIFICATION
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug’ (NSAID)
USES
Serrapeptase is promoted as an anti-inflammatory and mucolytic agent, but efficacy for either use has not been well established. Two randomized controlled trials reported no reduction in swelling caused by sprained ankles, and results of studies evaluating use for pain and swelling after dental surgery are conflicting. Two clinical trials evaluating serrapeptase as a mucolytic agent also reported conflicting results. Serrapeptase has also been investigated for adjunctive use to antibiotics to enhance antibiotic activity; however, evidence is limited to 2 low-quality clinical studies
HOW IT WORKS
The specialty of Serrapeptase is it breaks down non-living proteins inside the human body. Non-living tissues are there in the body only when there is inflammation, swelling, or clogging. Serrapeptase geo-targets such sites in the body and reduces inflammation.
DOSAGE
As directed by the physician
PRECAUTIONS
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There’s not enough research yet to know if serrapeptase is safe during pregnancy or while nursing. So, to be cautious, it’s best to avoid using it during these times.
Bleeding disorders: Serrapeptase may affect how your blood clots. If you have a bleeding condition, it could make things worse. It’s important to talk to your doctor before taking it.
Before surgery: Since serrapeptase can affect blood clotting, there’s a risk it could lead to more bleeding during or after surgery. Be sure to let your doctor know if you’re taking it, especially if you have surgery planned
SIDE EFFECT

Skin irritation or dermatitis
Erythema or rashes
