Serrapeptase legality/success (crosspost)

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering both if anyone knows the legality of serrapeptase (apparently a

prolytic enzyme also known as serratio peptidase, SP, or SerraZyme), and if

anyone has successfully used it to treat pain/inflammation. Some literature I've

found claims great results in autoimmune inflammatory responses.

I'm having a bad bout of erythema nodosum complete with complications that

doctors are pushing pred, ibuprophen, and other NSAIDs at (and I am refusing

them!), and a friend has recommended serrapeptase as a natural alternative. I

was also hoping this might be a good migraine remedy.

I've bought Enerex brand, and the capsules contain carrageenan so I'm hoping to

get around that illegal by transferring the contents of the capsule into a plain

gelatin capsule. They indicate that the contents contain no added starches,

binders, or fillers.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Hi... I haven't taken it myself, but many of the patients at our clinic swear by it & it isn't sourced from corn like wobenzyme ( a more "famous" proteolic enzyme) ..some also use it to enhance antifungal therapy ( take it, then then the natural antifungal 1 hour later as some studies have shown a substantial increase in effectiveness ) ...it's a bit too pricey for me to try it for that yet myself...but might at somepoint ...but for arthritic pain, sports injuries & migraines --I've heard it works great. hth, gisele
