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.

Dr Cabot says:
We have not seen an allergy to Serrapeptase before, but it is possible that you are allergic to it.
Stop the Serrapeptase for 4 weeks and observe if the itch goes.
If it does not, then it's caused by something else in your diet or environment.
Then reintroduce Serrapeptase at a low dose and see if itch recurs.

I had breast implants 20 years ago and soon developed capsular contracture. I suffered with it for 17 years until I gathered the courage to replace my implants. The doctor said the capsule around the implant was hard as dry wall. I changed implants and again the capsule has formed on my right breast. I try to take Serrapeptase but it makes me vomit profusely. What do you recommend me to do to treat my capsular contracture without surgery? Thanks so much!
sorry to disappoint you but nothing natural will work
breast implants are a foreign body and the immune system builds the hard capsule to protect your body from the toxic substances in the implants
Dr Sandra Cabot
serrapeptase 2 capsules twice daily should help a lot
but you also need NAC 2 capsules twice daily inbetween meals with a large glass of water and my COLLAGEN FOOD POWDER one tsp daily
Vitamin A 5000 IU Day with food will also help
Raw vegetable juices may also help to heal it - see book RAW JUICES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE
may take 6 to 12 months for results
Dr Sandra Cabot

yes SERRAPEPTASE will help in dose of 2 capsules twice daily. Take 30 minutes before food
you also need my COLLAGEN FOOD POWDER one teaspoon twice daily in whole glass of water
Eat plenty of avocadoes as they are high in vitamin E
Dr Sandra Cabot
www.liverdoctor.com
you are on a high dose statin and must take Coenzyme Q10 300mg daily or you will get muscle problems
You can take the serrapeptase as it is low dose
also I recommend my COLLAGEN FOOD POWDER one tsp daily and my MAGNESIUM ULTRAPOTENT Powder one tsp daily to strengthen the arteries and this will not interact with your drugs

IgA nephropathy, is known as Berger's disease. It is a kidney disease that occurs when IgA deposits build up in the kidneys, causing inflammation that damages kidney tissues. IgA is an antibody—a protein made by the immune system to protect the body from foreign substances such as bacteria or viruses.
your husband has an autoimmune disease that could be associated with hidden infection. Can he follow the diet in my book titled HEALING AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE - he must change his diet to reverse this disease
The best supplements for him to improve his immune system are - SELENOMUNE one capsule daily - this is very important - see my free e book - Selenium The Great Protector
he also needs NAC 2 capsules twice daily inbetween meals with a whole large glass of water - this is very important
Raw vegetable juices 250mls daily can repair kidney damage - see my book RAW JUICES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE

I am interested to know if serrapeptase could be useful in the management of Crohns disease. I currently do not take any medication for it as Ive managed to produce better results by adhering to a plant based whole food diet. I do occassionally still have some minor bleeding.
I was also diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing colangitis....and im curious weather serrapeptase could be helpful with slowing or possibly reversing any stricturing that has taken place in the liver bile ducts.
Also, would serrapeptase be good for reducing the the overall size of a protruding scar from a cesarian surgery? Thank you in advance
Apologies for the late reply.
For Crohn's disease you need a die free of gluten and cow's milk
beware of protein deficiency as it will weaken your immune system - can you eat eggs and sardines?
PSC can he helped by taking LIVATONE PLUS 4 Capsules daily and NAC 2 capsules twice daily inbetween meals with a whole large glass of water, or even 2 glasses - do not take after dinner at night
you need to keep your vitamin D levels at upper limit of normal range in a blood test
see my free e book- titled ULTIMATE GUT HEALTH on liverdoctor.com
SERRAPEPTASE may help a bit but is not as important as LIVATONE PLUS and NAC
Raw veggie juices can help - see my book RAW JUICES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE

was the vaginal canal scarred by Lichen Sclerosus or radiation?
Dr Cabot
Serrapeptase is designed to dissolve scar tissue throughout the body, and there is the likelihood of more scarring as you move the gallstones through your biliary ducts, but the Serrapeptase may help to improve the integrity and strength of your billiary ducts.
If you are still getting lots of stones from the flushes it is important to stop producing them and for this reason we recommend you adopt a liver friendly diet and supplementation as is found in Dr Cabot's 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program.
Continue with the supplements you are taking and add Livatone Plus to the mix, 2 capsules twice daily, and NAC – 2 capsules twice daily, well away from food with a large glass of water to avoid temporary stomach irritation.
Do any of your supplements contain menthol, because it softens the stones and makes them easier to pass.

Thank you for all the information you are providing in this thread. I have found all your educational information very helpful. I have a couple questions for you about serrapeptase:
1. I am currently taking Dr. Cabot’s serrapeptase formula. I’ve been taking it for the last 6 months. I’m taking one capsule in the morning and one capsule at night. I had a heart attack about four years ago with one stent placed in my left descending artery. I am currently not taking any prescription medication. I was taking a low dose aspirin daily until about two years ago and developed some serious stomach pains. My cardiologist gave me the option of switching to Nattokinase instead. For the last two years I have been taking one Nattokinase NSK-SD 100 mg (2,000 FU) in the morning and one at night in stead of the aspirin. All my stomach pains stopped shortly after discontinuing the aspirin. I am also taking a CoQ10 supplement, a grape seed extract supplement along with some extra magnesium and taurine.
I want to keep my stent, and the rest of my arteries, clear of plaque and any scar tissue that may develop around the stent … That’s why I started taking serrapeptase along with the Nattokinase. So … is one serrapeptase capsule twice a day enough or would two capsules twice a day be a better dosage? Please let me know your thoughts.
Also, after my event I switched my diet to a Whole Foods plant based diet with no oils of any kind. My total cholesterol is now under 120 and my LDL’s are in the 50’s. I am working hard to be as healthy as I can. Thank you for your help. I appreciate your feedback and thoughts on the serrapeptase dosage.
2. I saw this post on an Amazon review for serrapeptae and was wondering if you or Dr. Cabot had any concerns about this issue:
“Dangerous to take Serrapeptase, because it also dissolves heart protective chrysalis encapsulation and dissloves heart protective Purkinje fibers.”
I haven’t found any one else stating this but wanted to know if this could be a real concern? Have you heard about this before? I don’t want serrapeptase dissolving any healthy and important heart tissues. Please let me know your opinion of the above statement and if you have any concerns about taking it.
Thank you again for all your help. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Scott
Thank you for valuing the information we provide.
Nattokinase is beneficial for the heart and when combined with Serrapeptase, is most likely to provide a beneficial combination.
As you have been taking these valuable supplements for 6 months, now may be a good time to have a repeat cardio angiogram to determine if your stent and cardiac arteries are now free of plaque.
Unfortunately, a lot of information is released on the internet, and they do not have to provide any justification or research for their claims.
These enzymes are valuable for clearing plaque buildup, but they are not expected to destroy functional body tissue.

I am 70 yrs young. I have a long Hx. of Crohn's disease. I had a small bowel resection 12 yrs ago near the ileocecal valve about 12 inches removed. I have had a bulging in my right lower abdomen for a couple years or more. When I stand for too long it get's worse and gets hard and painful. It resolves when I lay down and push it back in. Negative for a hernia. So I think I have scar tissue in that area and it's affecting my ileocecal valve. I started having a lot of diarrhea also. I recently had a colonoscopy but the "so called" Dr. didn't go into my terminal ileum unfortunately. Probably gonna go to Mayo but in mean time I was thinking protyletic enzymes might help. Thoughts? I'm a retired RN
Serrapeptase may help you a lot as it does resolve scar tissue.
The other thing you need is NAC - 2 capsules twice daily in between meals with a large whole glass of water; this will resolve chronic inflammation and infection.
I also recommend ULTIMATE GUT HEALTH POWDER one to two tsp daily in water to heal leaky gut
Also check out my free e book ULTIMATE GUT HEALTH on Liverdoctor.com and sandracabot.com
Stay away from gluten and cow's milk.

I’m 34 and am TTC.
Will serrapeptase help with scarring that’s blocking my ovaries and fallopian tubes from a PID 10+ Years ago?
Serrapeptase is a potent anti-inflammatory enzyme so is very likely to reduce the incidence of any scarring.
Both Serrapeptase and Vitamin E are beneficial for scarring but they are also blood thinners, so care is to be taken with dosage.
To soften the scars begin taking a capsule of Vitamin E twice daily and begin with 1 capsule of Serrapeptase initially and gradually build up to a therapeutic dose of 2 capsules twice daily.

I was reading your thread on Serrapeptase. I wanted to let your person who inquired about nasal polyps to research salicylate intolerance and it's link to directly causing nasal polyps. What can you tell me about resolving Salicylate Intolerance? I have it and also suspect undiagnosed nasal polyps.
Thank you
Salicylate intolerance can take some time to overcome. We recommend a low salicylate diet for several months, while also improving liver detoxification capabilities, healing the gut lining and improving gut bug balance.
Livatone Plus and Gut Health powder are helpful.

Liver congestion is very common in those with an autoimmune condition.
Supplementation is important to reduce inflammation and autoantibodies, and Dr Cabot prescribes
Selenomune Designer Energy - 1 capsule daily for 4 months and then 1 capsule on alternate days to increase your selenium levels to lower autoimmune antibody levels and reduce autoimmune disease activity.
Livatone Plus – 1 capsule daily, to improve liver function.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC 600mg) – 1 capsule twice daily well away from food, if any upset occurs take at the beginning of your meals. As you will see from the attached pamphlet 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 purchase these supplements and Dr Cabot’s books athttps://shop.liverdoctor.com/
Serrapeptase should also help as it reduces inflammation.

I took serrapeptase 120 000UI after 10 dias after a lipoma surgery in my maximum gluteus to minimize the keloid that was forming and I got a bad reaction. It feels as if I have tear in my muscles and an internal bleeding feeling. The pain in the area is excruciating and debilitating now. Could it be because the dosage was too high for me? What could I take to have some relief?
Thank you in advance
Thank you for your query.

Serrapeptase may help. The ketogenic diet is effective for many forms of epilepsy. Elevated alkaline phosphatase can be caused by several factors (liver or bone conditions or intestinal inflammation). Elevated thyroid hormone levels can be caused by Graves’ disease or thyroid nodules.

Advancing age tends to make temperature regulation more difficult, but sensitivity to cold may be associated with a number of things in particular.
An underactive thyroid gland may be responsible, and your doctor can check this for you. Thyroid Health Capsules can correct this.
Blood pressure medication may also induce a feeling of a lower temperature. Magnesium powder or tablets are indicated here.
Low muscle mass often leaves people feeling cold and if she has poor strength this may be the reason behind her sense of coldness. Increased protein intake is needed if your wife is sarcopenic.

Serrapeptase is a potent anti-inflammatory and as it has been so effective in the past and safe to use again if the rash comes back.
Remember though, that it is best to determine what is the cause of your rash so you can avoid it returning.
Keep your liver healthy, because a congested liver may send toxins to the skin to be eliminated and this often causes rashes.

Garlic, turmeric, and ginger all have anti-inflammatory properties.
In this way, they are likely to reduce platelet numbers, which makes blood naturally thinner.
Serrapeptase is also an anti-inflammatory, so may reduce platelets further and making your blood even thinner.

We understand how difficult it must be for you to avoid gluten when you are so sensitive.
Gluten contamination can occur anywhere, even in almonds that may have been processed in the same establishment as high gluten items.
We recommend a strict ketogenic or low carb, no processed food, no industrial seed oil diet.
Serrapeptase may clear up the digestive tract, but Glutamine calms, soothes and heals the gut and you may benefit considerably.
Because your celiac is so sensitive we want to let you know that the ‘red flag’ proteins that gluten represents cross react with dairy protein (casein), so remove all dairy if you consume any to enable your gut to heal more quickly.
Kind regards

Naturopath for Dr Sandra Cabot MD
Serrapeptase is not expected to cause this reaction, so Dr Cabot recommends you take your Serrapeptase with a large glass of water to help pass it through the stomach quickly.
Whenever muscle pain is of concern, we recommend Magnesium powder or tablets – 200mgs twice daily.

Naturopath for Dr Sandra Cabot MD
Serrapeptase is encouraged to resolve as much scar tissue as possible and an appropriate dose is to gradually increase from 1 capsule daily to 2 capsules two to three times daily.
Please be aware that Vitamin E softens scar tissue to make it far easier for Serrapeptase to remove it.
To reduce your symptoms and inflammation in your lungs begin taking NAC – again with a graduated dose, increase to 2 capsules twice daily with a large glass of water to avoid temporary stomach irritation.
It is most important to avoid all dairy food as research has found that these foods increase mucus in the lungs, and likely to make your symptoms far worse.

The krud that had accumulated on the walls of your arteries, was once the food that you chose to eat.
If it is starting again, it may indicate you are still consuming a similar diet.
Serrapeptase – 2 capsules two to three times daily on an empty stomach, helps to remove the buildup of plaque but if you are laying it down with your present diet, you cannot expect the dramatic benefits you would gain if you also chose to consume a diet that also lessens the deposit of fats, as is found with Dr Cabot's 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program.

Do you recommend Serrapeptase for papulopustular rosacea? Is it possible to reverse gallbladder polyps with Serrapeptase? Thank you!
Papulopustular rosacea and Gallbladder polyps are both indications of liver congestion and gut dysbiosis.
To clear the congestion in your liver begin taking Livatone Plus – beginning with 1 capsules twice daily and when this tolerated well, increase the dose to 2 capsules twice daily, and NAC – starting with 1 capsule twice daily with a large glass of water to avoid temporary stomach irritation, and increase this as your body adjusts to 2 capsules twice daily.
Gallbladder polyps are indications that you are best to avoid dietary items that are known growth promotants.
Remove all processed foods, including all carbohydrates except low carb vegetables.
Dairy foods are also high in growth promotants so need to be removed from your diet.
Ox Bile is recommended to increase the rate of elimination of metabolites and toxins from your liver – 1 to 2 capsules twice daily with meals.
Selenium is essential when there is extraneous growth within the body and 1 capsule daily is sufficient.

Serrapeptase is beneficial as an anti-inflammatory enzyme that may assist with the pain and bone-on-bone feeling you are experiencing at a minimum dose of 250,000 SPU twice daily on an empty stomach.
Stiffness may be associated with a magnesium deficiency so begin taking Magnesium powder or tablets – 200mg twice daily.
Consider a keto diet for best results of your strength training strategy.
The inflammation you are experiencing may be inducing your body to deposit protective protein and calcium, causing the narrowing. Ensure your Vitamin D is a minimum of 100 nmol/L and take 1 capsule Super Vitamin K daily to return the calcium into your bones.

1 took serrapeptase 120.000spu 3 x daily for 10days to help me shrink uterine fibroids, my period start normally for 5 days and stop i start again with serrapeptase now i am having heavy bleeding with cloth for 8 days now . What can i do to stop period im scare
Serrapeptase is not indicated for fibroids.
Fibroids are triggered when Estrogen is raised and there is considerable inflammation in the body.
Reduce the inflammation by eliminating all dairy foods, highly processed food, high carbohydrate foods, everything containing sugar and highly processed seed oils.
Estrogen tends to be raised when there is low progesterone so begin taking Fem Pro from day 10 from the beginning of your period for every cycle.
Femme Phase is also designed to tame the estrogen excess so take 2 capsules twice daily.
These strategies have proven successful for many of our patients over many years, so please don’t be scared.
Most fibroids go away by themselves after menopause.

Although Serrapeptase is an anti-inflammatory, we have recommendations that may provide better outcomes.
We recommend a liver friendly, anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle as is found with Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program. Please begin taking Allergy Relief – 3 to 6 tablets daily, Livatone Plus – 1 to 2 capsules twice daily, and Collagen Food – ½ teaspoon twice daily.

I have history of pelvic infection (10+ years ago. ) This year in May , I was told
Via laparoscopic surgery that the infection caused adhesions from pelvic up to my liver. I was treated 10 years ago for the infection so I assume I don’t need treatment now. Dr clarified on my post op report that it was from previous infection. Will serrapeptase help me at this time? Sometimes after taking it I feel tugging and pulling in my liver.
Serrapeptase is an excellent choice to resolve the adhesions you have.
Vitamin E is also encouraged as it softens scar tissue and makes it easier for Serrapeptase.
NAC is beneficial to breakdown biofilm that may be present from the infection – 2 capsules twice daily, well away from food with a large glass of water to avoid temporary stomach irritation.
If there is any possibility of hormone related inflammation in the pelvic girdle, we recommend Progesterone every day.

Would it be ok to take Serrapeptase and Beta Glucan together?
There is no contraindication associated with taking Serrapeptase and Beta Glucan as paired supplements.
They best taken at different times during the day because it is necessary to take Serrapeptase on as close to an empty stomach as possible to maximize absorption.
If you are wanting to reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels, we recommend Berberine – 1 capsule twice daily with meals.

Sepia is used for female complaints as a homoeopathic preparation, and we recommend Progesterone for the same female dysfunction symptoms.
Dr Cabot has produced a wonderful product for fibro glandular tissue, and we recommend you begin taking Breast Health Capsules – 1 capsule twice daily.

A Baker’s Cyst and arthritis are both signs of inflammation so please remove all processed foods, grains, starches, sugars, industrial seed oils and dairy foods from your diet.

Both Serrapeptase and Fish Oil reduce platelet stickiness and thereby reduce blood viscosity and are referred to as blood thinners.
It is always important to ensure that blood vessels are strong and supple.
Begin taking Collagen Food – ½ teaspoon twice daily in water to strengthen your blood vessels and Vitamin K – 1 capsule daily for blood vessel suppleness.
This product is contraindicated if you are taking Warfarin.

Serrapeptase is beneficial if you have scar tissue after the PID, but to treat the pain Dr Cabot strongly recommends you to also begin NAC - 2 capsules twice daily, well away from food with a large glass of water to avoid stomach irritation, Bacto Clear – 2 capsules twice daily, and Progesterone to also balance your hormones.

Please may I ask what I may give my elderly mother (age 77) for the severe scarring at the back of her eyes? I've been reading about serrapeptase. She's also on garlic, turmeric, vit c, vit D and K2.
Meds for blood pressure.
Many thanks
Kindest regards

At 77 your mother may be on pharmaceutical medications, so it is necessary to be very careful about supplementation.
Both Serrapeptase and Vitamin E are beneficial for scarring but they are also blood thinners, so care is to be taken with dosage.
If your mother has any other health concerns the scarring may be diminished if she takes measures to reduce generalized inflammation.

Most emphysema is a very sad side effect of smoking.
It occurs because the lungs are attempting to clear the lungs from the increased mucus that is produced with smoking or exposure to other lung irritative substances.
The lungs continue this and unfortunately the substance that clears the mucus also dissolves the cell linings of the individual alveoli which cause larger but fewer gas exchange chambers within the lungs.
It is this reduction of surface area of alveoli that is emphysema.
When anyone has been smoking for a considerable time, they cannot avoid a certain amount of tissue damage but when they are ready to stop, we strongly recommend they begin taking NAC - 2 capsules twice daily, well away from food with a large glass of water to avoid stomach irritation for a considerable time before cessation, rather than using Serrapeptase. NAC concentrates and protects the lungs as well as being a precursor of glutathione, the body’s most potent antioxidant and mucolytic substance.

The most important substance to take to avoid the return of any uterine fibroids is progesterone – following the directions on the label.
This will promote a successful pregnancy, as will Thyroid Health Capsules – 1 capsule twice daily for both you and your partner.

We have no knowledge of zeolite, and Dr Cabot’s Serrapeptase - begin with 1 capsule daily and gradually increase dose to 2 capsules twice daily, is a high-quality product that certainly needs no binders.
It is not possible to determine how long it will take to resolve the scar tissue and we suggest you also take Vitamin E – 1 capsule twice daily to soften the scar tissue to help the Serrapeptase resolve the scarring.
Bleeding is not expected because the scarring is over healed tissue.

There is very little research done on the effects of Serrapeptase during pregnancy.
Serrapeptase generally considered a very safe supplement so we do not expect there to be any problems.
Serrapeptase is a protein and so is capable of inducing an allergic response, so if you are prone to allergies, take care.
