Serrapeptase, also known as serratiopeptidase, is a proteolytic enzyme originally derived from the bacterium Serratia marcescens found in the intestines of silkworms. It has gained popularity as a dietary supplement due to its various health benefits, particularly its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.

  Supplemental Benefits of Serrapeptase:

Sinusitis and Bronchitis: As a mucolytic agent, serrapeptase helps clear mucus from the respiratory tract, improving symptoms of sinusitis, bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions.

Atherosclerosis: By breaking down fibrin, serrapeptase can help reduce arterial plaque, improving blood flow and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Biofilm Disruption: By breaking down bacterial biofilms, serrapeptase can make infections more susceptible to antibiotics and the immune system.

Chronic Pain Conditions: Serrapeptase can help manage chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and back pain by reducing inflammation and pain.

  Forms and dosage:

Serrapeptase Units (SPUs): Look for supplements that clearly state the Serrapeptase Units  SPUs (SU) or Enzyme Units (EU) per serving. A common dosage ranges from 20,000 to 120,000 SU per capsule.

Daily dose: 40,000-120,000 SPU
