Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 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. " also: 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 F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
