Re: Serrapeptase--Enteric Coating Dangerous?

[Guest guest]

Hi , if the Serrapeptase isn't enteric coated, the enzymes won't survive

the stomach acid. I'll have to check into the pthalates because I take these

too. I started taking the enteric coated Serrapeptase a few years ago, before I

was aware of these kinds of dangers. I haven't checked on them very well since

then because they always seem to help me. I don't take it regularly and rarely

anymore since my feet don't swell when it's cold, and it is Cooolllddd here

right now. I wonder how the enzymes survive in Vitalzyme.

I have been taking Serrapeptase both for MS and to break down a

fibroid. All of the brands seem to be enteric coated--which contain

HPMCP--which contains phthalates used to make plastic flexible and

known to disrupt hormones (from my understanding).

I also feel the Serrapeptase helps me, but the idea of messing up

hormones is not good. I did check out the Vitalzyme and they also use

enteric coating. Let me know if you figure anything out. I have been

rresearching this issue the last hour or so and can't seem to get any

good answers.

Hi , This doesn't solve the problem of phthalates, but I eat maca for

hormone replacement. My thyroid is low and maca is good for that, among a long

list of other things.

I also eat flax seed for phytoestrogens and fiber.

That statement could imply that after 1 year they began showing a

depression in growth. It's unclear.

I asked the Good Health Naturally

Also, my understanding is the phthalates disrupt hormones,

particularly estrogen. The response I got from the company doesn't

address whether any studies measuring hormone level changes while on

the HPMCP were done.
