Daily-use serrapeptase to help reduce inflammations. __Benefits:__ - Serrapeptase has been shown to reduce pain — a common symptom of inflammation — by inhibiting pain-inducing compounds. - Serrapeptase is thought to decrease inflammatory cells at the affected site. - Serrapeptase inhibits the formation of biofilms, thereby increasing the effectiveness of antibiotics. - Serrapeptase may increase the clearance of mucus and reduce inflammation in the lungs in people with chronic respiratory diseases (CRD). Serrapeptase is a silkworm enzyme. It is produced in nature by a friendly bacterium found within the silkworm. The enzyme is used by the silkworm to dissolve the protective cocoon, without having a detrimental effect on the emerging silk moth. The enzyme was discovered in the early 1970’s and is now produced commercially through a fermentation process ensuring that the silkworm population is not affected. It has been used for years in Japan and Europe for reducing inflammation and pain due to surgery, trauma, and other inflammatory conditions. Serrapeptase supplements should be enteric-coated to protect the enzymes from being denatured by the acidic environment of the stomach. The Natures Aid Serrapeptase is manufactured using their unique Entero-coated technology. This allows our Serrapeptase to pass through the acidic stomach environment into the intestine before it\'s released and absorbed into the bloodstream. Each Natures Aid Serrapeptase 250,000iu enteric-coated tablet provides 250,000u of enzymatic activity.
