Serrapeptase (Serratiopeptidase) is a proteolytic enzyme originally isolated from the silkworm gut bacterium Serratia E-15 (now produced via fermentation). Used in Asia and Europe since the 1960s for inflammation, pain, and mucolytic applications. Available as pharmaceutical drug in Japan, Italy, and other countries; sold as dietary supplement in the US.

How it works

Serrapeptase is a 30 kDa metalloprotease:

Mucolytic

Hydrolyzes mucus glycoproteins, thinning thick mucus secretions in sinusitis, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis.

Anti-Inflammatory

Hydrolyzes bradykinin, fibrin, and inflammatory exudates - reduces edema and pain.

Fibrinolytic

Breaks down fibrin (cross-linked protein) - mechanism for proposed cardiovascular plaque effects.

Enteric Coating Critical

Stomach acid degrades serrapeptase. Enteric-coated tablets release in the alkaline small intestine for absorption.

Selective Action

Acts on dead/damaged tissue but spares healthy tissue - mechanism for safety profile.

Each reference below was re-fetched from its PubMed record, and the quoted sentence was confirmed to appear in that abstract and to support the claim it sits under. Follow any of them to read the source.

These applications are attributable to its versatile properties including anti-inflammatory, anti-biofilm, analgesic, anti-edemic, and fibrinolytic effects.

Claims we could not support

No abstract we checked supports these for this molecule at this route. That is not the same as saying they are false — it marks where the evidence is missing.

Dose/route: 60,000-120,000 SU daily via Oral enteric-coated tablet, 1-3x daily. No checked live PubMed abstract supported this complete molecule/formulation/route/dose/frequency combination.

Primary safety claim: Mild GI. No checked live abstract directly established this as the primary concern for the card's exact formulation and regimen.
