Because serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme, its function in the human body is incredibly significant. Enzymes oversee all metabolic functions in your body. Proteolytic enzymes govern metabolic functions such as liver function and the immune system. The nutrients you get from your daily diet, such as proteins and vitamins, could not be accessed by your body without theses enzymes.

Serrapeptase in large doses has not been shown to cause any health problems and it is also safe for children, though you should always consult your pediatrician before giving any sort of supplement to your children.

Serrapeptase is still undergoing much laboratory study in the United States and Europe to determine the magnitude of its health benefits as well as any side effects, allergic reactions and drug interactions. This means you should still consult with your physician before using serrapeptase supplements.

• Arthritis
• Blood clots
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Ear, nose and throat infections
• Emphysema
• Enlarged prostrate
• Fibrocystic breast disease
• Fibromyalgia
• Hardening of the arteries
• Post-operative inflammation
• Varicose veins
• Vascular migraines

This is not an exhaustive list, as serrapeptase is helpful to anyone who is suffering from any sort of inflammation, most heart and lung problems or suffering from pain due to particular circumstances.

If you are at risk of stroke or heart attack, serrapeptase supplementation may help prevent such an incident. The ability to break down the plaque that accumulates on your artery walls is the reason physicians are looking at serrapeptase more closely for help in the prevention of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.

While serrapeptase does provide many benefits, it should not be looked upon as the sole treatment of any health problem, or as the sole means of prevention of any disease. You should always consult your doctor before using serrapeptase supplements. Your doctor can give a much better indication of just what serrapeptase can do for your particular situation and if other supplements or medicines are to be used in conjunction with serrapeptase.

• Anti-inflammatory
• Cleans debris from blood
• Digests non-living tissue
  • blood clots
  • cysts
  • arterial plaque
  • scar tissue
• Pain reducer

It is as an anti-inflammatory that serrapeptase provides most of its benefits to the human body. Serrapeptase is an all-natural alternative to ibuprofen, aspirin, steroids or any other non-steroid anti-inflammatory medicines. To date, it has shown to have less side effects and drug interactions than these other anti-inflammatory medicines.

The benefits of serrapeptase go beyond simply offering relief to inflammation throughout the body. It also helps to improve the elimination of bronchial mucus and is becoming a weapon in dealing with cardiovascular problems.

It is with the cardiovascular system that serrapeptase may have the brightest future. Studies performed in Germany, have shown that serrapeptase may play a significant role in preventing the build up of plaque on arterial walls. Plaque from cholesterol, calcium, cellular deposits and fatty substances accumulates on the walls of arteries and may eventually lead to a stroke or heart attack.

The preliminary evidence suggests that serrapeptase, with its protein dissolving properties, will break down the arterial plaque over time. A study performed by Dr. Hans A. Nieper showed that 30,000 I.U. of serrapeptase daily for a period of 12 to 18 months will remove significant blockages from constricted arteries.
