Serrapeptase- very interesting!!

[Guest guest]

Since we are mentioning this-

Very intriguing enzyme,sounds a lot like nattokinase in action!

Dr Ray Sahelian ( a well know alternatives friendly MD) says:

" Serrapeptase appears to be a supplement with some clinical

potential, however much more research is needed before we determine

what clinical role this enzyme has in medicine. In the meantime,

only use serrapeptase under medical supervision until more studies

determine the full spectrum of serrapeptase side effects and

benefits. "

" A review of the medical literature indicates rare cases of

pneumonitis or allergic skin reactions with the use of serrapeptase.

As with any supplement or medicine, rare cases of other side effects

are possible.

Over the past 3 years we have had three individuals who have

mentioned side effects, and these were minor aches and pains after

taking serrapeptase 2 tablets daily for a few weeks. For this

reason, we suggest limiting to one tablet a day and taking at least

2 days off each week until we find out whether these cases were just

coincidence or true side effects from serrapeptase. "

A case of serratiopeptidase-induced subepidermal bullous dermatosis.

Br J Dermatol. 1999 Dec;141(6):1139-40. No abstract available.

he further says that interactions with drugs, herbs, supplements are

not known and

" we suggest you limit your use to one serrapeptase tablet daily

until more research is available. Do not exceed 5 tablets a week

until more research is published with serrapeptase. We don't suggest

using 40,000 units since the benefits and risks on this high dose

are not clearly understood. Discuss with your doctor regarding the

use of serrapeptase before self-medicating. "

be well
