Serrapeptase
Serrapeptase is an enzyme that was first discovered in the intestine of silkworms. This enzyme is necessary in order for the silkworm to dissolve the hard cocoon it is surrounded by, when it is ready to emerge as a moth. The silkworm also uses this enzyme to allow it to feed on tough mulberry leaves. These days, serrapeptase supplements are not derived from silkworms; the enzyme is derived from a natural fermentation process. Serrapeptase is a protease enzyme; that means it has the ability to digest protein. Research has shown this remarkable enzyme can help to dissolve non-living tissue in the body such as cysts, swellings, plaque and scar tissue.
Serrapeptase helps to reduce inflammation in the body
Excessive inflammation is a feature of just about every disease and is present in any condition where pain, fatigue and fluid retention are present. But what causes inflammation? These are the most common causes:
- Elevated blood sugar. Certainly diabetics experience a great deal of inflammation in their bodies because of elevated blood sugar, but you don’t have to be a diabetic to experience this. Regularly consuming sugar, grains and high glycemic load foods will flood your bloodstream with glucose. Sugar is sticky and it can bind to proteins in your body and damage them.
- Infections. Any type of bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic infection raises inflammation because your immune cells produce massive quantities of inflammatory chemicals as they try to fight the infection. This is particularly a problem in chronic, long term infections.
- Food allergy, intolerance and sensitivity. Whenever you consume a food you are sensitive to, your body behaves as though you swallowed something harmful, such as a virus or bacteria. As your immune system tries to cope with this scenario, it produces a host of inflammatory chemicals. This can become a significant problem if you unknowingly eat this food(s) every day.
- Stress. Unfortunately the hormones your body produces while you are stressed cause inflammatory damage, free radical damage and a great deal of wear and tear to your body. Magnesium helps to counter some of this damage.
- Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep. Good solid sleep is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory remedies there is, and it’s free and feels great. Unfortunately most people know this but try as they might, they can’t get good sleep consistently. Insomnia or just poor quality sleep is endemic in modern society.
- Lack of antioxidants in your diet. All of the various conditions listed above cause your body to use up vitamins, minerals and antioxidants at a much faster rate. The problem is, most people don’t replenish their bodies with nutrients sufficiently. Ideally you would consume a raw vegetable salad for lunch and dinner each day and include a glass of raw vegetable juice most days of the week.
- Injuries, accidents and surgery are a major physical stress on the body and these processes all generate a great volume of inflammatory chemicals. These inflammatory chemicals are very useful in acute conditions and are necessary for the recovery process. Unfortunately many patients are left with chronic pain, swelling and immobility because the inflammatory process has continued for too long. Serrapeptase is excellent for these people.
How Serrapeptase can help
Ideally you could reduce the level of inflammation in your body by addressing each of the points mentioned above. Unfortunately, this is not always possible and sometimes the source of inflammation cannot be identified and remains hidden.
Serrapeptase basically works by giving your insides a good clean up. Being a protein digesting enzyme, it helps to clear out protein deposits that are not serving a useful purpose in your body. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-oedemic (reduces fluid retention) and fibrinolytic activity (helps to break down blood clots). It can help to clear mucus, fluid, blood clots, debris and immune complexes from your body. In this way it helps to reduce pain, improve mobility and increase energy. Serrapeptase helps to keep arteries clean and clear because it reduces the inflammation in arteries which is what promotes cholesterol accumulation and narrowing of the arteries.
How should Serrapeptase be taken?
Serrapeptase must be taken on an empty stomach in order to obtain the systemic anti-inflammatory benefits. If you consume it with a meal, your body will use it to digest the food in your intestines. Therefore most people find it easiest to take serrapeptase first thing in the morning. You can eat half an hour later. A typical starting dose is between 125 000 and 250 000 IU per day.

Two pills is a more effective dose. It is best taken on an empty stomach – so the first one could be taken on waking, and the second either between breakfast and lunch or between lunch and dinner.

Yes serrapeptase would benefit you, but may not be suitable if you are taking blood thinning medication. It could thin your blood too much. It’s best to check this with your own doctor.

Dr Cabot has recommended a number of supplements to shrink your simple liver cysts, which we recommend you obtain, and Serrapeptase is not among them.
They are not contraindicated with your menopause patch or thyroid meds although you may experience a better conversion of your thyroid meds and so be able to reduce the amount you take each day.
Take your thyroid medication early in the morning at least 30 minutes before any food and it is best to take supplements at least 2 hours away from any medication, this does not include the patch.

I have encountered the same thing as Amber posted:
"Amber June 26, 2019 at 6:57 pm
I took Serrapeptase fine for 2 months and then suddenly got sick after taking it with vomiting and fever."
With me, I took 120,000 SPU . I took one capsule on an empty stomach for a week. It was working GREAT helping with my sinuses, mucus, lungs clear up and also with body inflammations (hands, joints). (Got Serrapeptase for sinuses, mucus. lungs). I am 61 yr old. I did this usage / dosage for about week as I said.
THEN---one night I took the same dose--- and was vomiting and chills and intestines going all a rage. The only thing different was I took 2 hours after a meal with my Multi Vitamin, boron 10mgs and Prilosec 20mg tab (for stomach acid).
The reaction was horrible. Violent vomiting!!! I figure a reaction with the pills maybe? It was scary!!! I was not before taking the Prilosec when I started ----Serrapeptase, Hmmmm???
HOWEVER---I got my nerve up several days later and ----took my Serrapeptase again in the early morning, ---this morning 10/5/2019--- on what one would think would be an empty stomach---two hours later---I became violently ill once again---vomiting --and profuse diarrhea.
I am so perplexed. I really believe in Serrapeptase. What is going wrong? What am I doing wrong?
Any thoughts about my reactions? Scared to take it again. :( Sorry I relate unpleasant side effects--but that is what occurred. Any helpful insight please. Thank you.
We will certainly keep a copy of your symptoms on our records for further reference.
Any supplement, or food for that matter, may produce an allergic type response.
It is wise to not take Serrapeptase in the future.
Perhaps you should get an abdominal US? Because most cases of nausea and vomiting have a connection with the liver.
Because of the diarrhea, you are advised to have a colonoscopy and gastroscopy to ensure there is no digestive system abnormalities that may have caused the response to the Serrapeptase.

That is a good amount of serrapeptase to take. Best not to take it in the middle of the night because digestion slows down, so you may not absorb it as well.
Eliminating inflammatory foods such as sugar, alcohol, gluten and dairy products should help. Also you may benefit from seeing a physiotherapist, as you may need orthotics.

I would like to know if serrapeptase is ok fo me to take, you see I have degrading vertebrae in the spine , the disks between the vertebrae are swollen trapping nerves arthritis in the spine and other joints , my liver is damaged from 40 year hep c infection ,bad scaring, cured in 2016 , now have liver cancer two tumers smallest removed with radio therapy large one treated with micro beads to slow its growth , would serrapeptase help
Serrapeptase should help because it reduces inflammation. Joint Eze capsules may be more beneficial because the glucosamine helps to rebuild cartilage, and the herbs and enzymes in the formula reduce inflammation.

I have had some fibroids in my uterus for a couple of years now, and my naturopath here suggested that I could take a dosage of 250 000x6/a day. I have tried this method two years ago, I increased my dosage withing 6 months to 250 000x6, with no side effects. It didn't make the fibroids any smaller, but kept them from growing.
I took a break from taking it for another 6 months and the fibroids grew larger in size and number. I've been on Serrapeptase again for a few weeks, taking 250 000 x4/a day now, and through out the treatment I have felt increasingly tired, weak, and nauseous, I also have developed some cold symptoms, such as shivers throat ache and low body temperature every now and then.
Could this be somesurt of detox reaction, or maby something else, should I just wait and see what happens, or lower my dosage?
The difference in my medication now and the first round of Serrapeptase is that now I'm taking one beta-blocker 2,5 mg/a day for heart palpatations.
Have a lovely day and thank you in advance,
Sincerely, Maija
These symptoms indicate you might be low in iron. Fibroids often cause iron deficiency.
They are not typical symptoms from taking a high dose of serrapeptase.
Vitamin D helps to reduce fibroid growth. Most people need 5000 IU daily.

Serrapeptase should not cause heavy periods. That can be caused by low vitamin K, or caused by fibroids themselves.
Serrapeptase is not the most useful remedy for reducing fibroids; vitamin D, Selenomune and progesterone cream all help to reduce fibroids.

Serrapeptase is best suited for chronic conditions. Yes it can dissolve scar tissue required for repair, but if you have any current injuries it is best to wait for an injury to repair before taking it.

I was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer last year Spring and had my overuse removed as it was believed the disease had metastasised to one of them. I’ve been stable since then after 2 bouts of 1st gemcitabin and 2nd folforinox. I’ve not had any treatment since March. However about a week ago I had itching all over my body with dark urine. The itching is unbearable and I was prescribed a powder to ease the itching. Had scans as they are sure it’s a blocked bile duct. My liver function blood tests show elevation (not majorly high, but very present) in enzymes. Can serrapeptase aid in unblocking bile ducts? I had my CT scan yesterday and will see my consultant in 2 weeks time, but want to help myself in the meantime. I continue to work and go about my normal busy life, but the itching is ridiculously, especially now the weather has warmed up.
Thanks
Serrapeptase is likely to be very beneficial to reduce the generalised inflammation that your body would be experiencing at the moment, which may have a beneficial effect towards unblocking your bile ducts, and improving your liver function.
To boost your liver function and re-establish the phase II detox, to reduce skin itching, Dr Cabot prescribes
Livatone Plus – 1 to 2 capsules twice daily, to improve liver function.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC 600mg) – 1 to 2 capsules twice daily well away from food, if any upset occurs take at the beginning of your meals. This supplement works well with Livatone Plus to get your liver better faster. This supplement is the precursor nutrient of glutathione; the body’s strongest anti-oxidant.
You may also consider topical remedies to neutralise the acidic metabolites that are the probable cause of your itching. Relief may be had by bathing in Epsom salts with best quality lavender essential oil.
Another skin calming option is to add some chamomile tea bags or some loose dried chamomile to a bath that has an oat bag (rolled oats in a mesh bag) to another bath to neutralise the itching.
Thirdly, may we suggest a seaweed bath to provide healing and alkalinising gels to provide relief.

It is most unusual that you have begun to react with Serrapeptase itself, but as it breaks down and releases bacteria from biofilms and they die off you may get a herxheimer reaction.
Activated charcoal attaches to the toxins that cause the reaction, and is beneficial for herx reactions, although it is best to take it at least 2hours after the Serrapeptase.

I am considering taking serrapaptase, but I have a few questions. I take crestor and metoprolol now before bed. I also take a krill oil, vit e with selenium, cal/mag/zinc, B complex before bed. If I take a capsule of serrapaptase only in the morning is it okay to take the krill at bed time?
One capsule is not usually considered an adequate dosage to effect the benefits of Serrapeptase. After 2 to 3 days of 1 capsule we recommend you take 2 capsules either once or twice daily on an empty stomach and then the krill at bedtime is fine.

Serrapeptase can thin the blood and fish oil is also a blood thinner. In most cases this is a good thing, as it improves circulation and reduces the risk of heart disease. Taking high doses of fish oil with serrapeptase could potentially thin the blood too much. In regards to the other supplements, we recommend you speak with your healthcare practitioner.

There hasn’t been a study investigating the use of serrapeptase specifically for your condition. Based on the information you’ve given, 6 to 12 months would be the ideal duration of use.

The pericarditis was probably autoimmune in origin thus I would recommend you follow a gluten free diet.
I also recommend a daily magnesium supplement.
The liver is unique and can undergo a lot of renewal.
I would take Serrapeptase 2 daily for 3 months as it will help to reduce scarring, but this alone is not enough.
To greatly reduce your risk of liver cancer, I recommend Selenomune capsules, one daily. We have a free e book on how this works and you can download it from www.liverdoctor.com.

I have a hole in my eardrum which is taking a very long time to heal (it's been over a year). I saw my ENT doctor at Christmas who said the hole is much smaller now but it's still there. I want to take Serrapeptase for my painful joints - could it prevent my eardrum from healing, or make the hole bigger again? Also, would Nattokinase be safe for me to take, for the same reasons?
