My friend gave me a couple of bottles that he wasn't using...he said it would help with alot of different problems. I've been researching what it's used for and I never realized that there are so many symptoms that one little pill could help with. I'm just curious if anyone takes it and what do you use it for? I know what it's helped me with, but I just wanna see what everyone else's experience is.

I don't remember hearing about it before. What symptoms has it helped you with?

Well, I started taking it while I was sick with the flu...within 30 minutes my headache was gone as was every ache in my body along with the irritation in my throat and my swollen glands...I've had problems with my digestive system and pains during BMs and no doctor has ever figured out exactly what the problem is or why I always have pains...since I've started taking the serrapeptase, I've had absolutely no pain or discomfort in the bathroom...I've also had a pinched nerve in my shoulder blade area for the last 11 years and my back is always tense to the point of being painful...again, no more of any of that since taking it. My man had some major dental work done and none of the painkillers he had were working, but the serrapeptase worked almost instantly. He also has really bad arthritis in his knees and hands and it's helped with that as well.
This stuff is supposed to help out the blood flow and clear up clots and heal scar tissue among a ton of other things...I don't know exactly how or why, but it's been so helpful for so many things, we've just ordered a few more bottles of it. It is a natural enzyme so it's safe to take everyday and the kind I have is even safe for children and animals. I don't know why more people don't know about this.

I think a lot more people are now learning about this product. From a retailer's perspective, we market a large number of items, but serrapeptase has been and continues to be our most popular product by far, and we very often see repeat buyers who have been pleased with their results.

Thanks for the encouraging post!! After reading about it on this board I ordered some for my husband who has COPD in hopes that it will help with inflammation. Sounds like it is useful for way more than that. I just got it so now I'm really excited after reading your post !! :)

Austin4---Please post with the results, I want to order some too. I have a bulging disc in my neck and nothing seems to help except DMSO. My husband started using the DMSO too on his knees because hes a jogger and he says theres no doubt about it that it helps his knees a ton, he loves it. We have been using it for about 3 weeks. I got it at a health food store, it's a liquid that you roll on , and lady says she'll sell it as long as she can, but the FDA wants to try and stop the sell of it. I'm going to stock up. I think i'm going to order the Serrapeptase too, but I dont know what brand is best.

I've got the SerraZyme MegaCapsPlus...I've ordered it thorugh my DR, but I've seen it online too for about the same amount of $

I did see that kind somewhere, I know I can find it again. I think it was around 75$ for three bottles. I cant believe your Dr. even ordered it for you????Wow! They usually bash natural non-prescription stuff. How many do you take a day, 2 at night?
--Moon

I have a naturopathic physician who is also a regular medical doctor...he tries to go all natural whenever he can. On a daily basis just for maintenance, I take 1 in the morning and 1 at night...when I was sick with the flu I was taking 2-5x a day...for other symptoms I take about 2-3x a day...you shouldn't take too many, but you can't take too much in a day...you just have to find the right amount for you

I tried serrapeptase for 5 days, 60,000 units, enteric coated, on an empty stomach, half hour before food minimum, and then I got strange pains in my stomach the next two days, and then that night horrible acid reflux in y throat so I've stopped taking serrapeptase? Anyone else have side-effects?
Could it be that it was because I was also taking Strontium Ranelate for osteopenia in the evening?
I have stopped both for the time being. But serra[peptase has had such glowing reports I wish I could take it.
Any advice?

most all the info i have read recommends only 20,000u/day to start--try cutting your dose--60,000u is pretty high!

Actually although I still sometimes get a stomach reaction to serrapeptase mostly I don't.
I now take 80,000 units twice a day on an empty stomach and have done for 2 months.
My neck pain has started to ease but not my knee pain.
Does Serrapeptase actually work?

i would really be interested in this. I did a search and tried to contact them. I can't take any type of nsaid.. upsets my stomach or flares my hiatal hernia for a few days (after one dose). I've tried white willow bark, zyflammend, but the only thing that doesn't hurt my gut is tylenol based meds

I also contacted them and did get an email saying they were going to consult to find out why I got stomach reaction, but then they never got back to me again. I think it may be that the stomach has to be quite empty before taking, and although at least two hours after food, and at least half an hour before food should do it sometimes it isn't enough because of digestion variation.
I am continuing with it but it certainly doesn't act quickly. After two months of continually taking serrapeptase it may be easing my neck pain and may be it takes at least 3 months or more to ease the knee and hip. I'd like to know if anyone knows if it really works.

I got a response back but it was so generic, just said it would be ok on my stomach, redirected me to their website and gave these directions

SerraEzyme 80,000IU take 2 x 2 30mins before meals or on waking and at bedtime.

Question though....it says that their capsules are enteric coated? is it a caplet? or the ingredients in the capsule are enteric coated? I tried vioxx when it was out and it didn't hurt my stomach...just had lower GI upset

yes mine are 80,000 iu. enteric coated caplet capsules and don't contain any lactose or maize (corn) starch as I'm intolerant to them.
But has your pain lessened or disappeared and affected joints become mobile? If so how long did this take of regular use?

I'm glad there is another post on this product. Very interested in all your comments. It sounded to me that some have to up their doses to get the effect, once the inflammation is reduced you can decrease the amount. If this isn't helping their may be more going on in the joints, you may have a rip in a ligament or something? Have you had this checked out art?

Hi All,

Trying to find out more info about this stuff!
Art you're the only 1 I've found who knows about it in the UK. Is it licenced over here, did u get your doc's advice, did u buy on line?
No-one seems to have heard about it Boots, Holland and Barrett no-1. Will really be interested to hear your answers. It sounds a brilliant drug but money is v tight so I'm not sure whether I need to take it before surgery to help problems, v bad back pain, ibs, endometriosis, bladder problems or not.
It's v confusing about dosage too.
Nice to see another post on here about it though, was just going to set 1 up myself.
Take care all, I appreciate every1 posting experiences with it, it does help a newbie make her mind up :-) :angel:
Scraggy

I gave you quite a bit to read on the vit. and supplement. post. Diana

Art, I would think it could take some time. If you are trying to reverse something. It should start working with in a couple of months for your type of pain I would think. 2 in the morning on an empty stomach and 2 at bedtime, at least 2hrs after a meal.

I ordered some from a health place here where I live. It's finally in now, just have to go pick it up. My sister wants to try it so I'm going to sell her half the bottle.

I'm going to try it to help lower cholesterol in the veins it's suppose to work on plaque in the veins.

I'm doing other things to lower it, red yeast rice at night, CoQ10 because red yeast rice lowers this nutrient in the body. Along with Omega fatty acids. Still my levels are not where I'd hoped they be. In 3mos. I've gotten to total chol. down 37 points, and tri glyceride's down 185pts. My bad chol. isn't down enough. My total is still hovering at 230, much better than it was before.

I'm hoping the serrapetase will help. Any one taking it for this reason?

How has this nutrient been working for you all trying it. What dosage are you at now? What dosage is seeming to help for you. Diana

hi,
Mine has just arrived, got 2 4 1 at 60000 90 tabs per bottle so that should keep me going a while. Can search a bargain when I feel up to it.Partner thinking of taking it as well for back problems. I'm waiting to have some tests done as want the condition to show up as bad as it gets then are going to start taking them at the end of the week.
Looking forward to seeing what happens.
Hope you all are having positive effects.
Scraggy

Good luck finding out what is wrong Scraggy, I hope it helps your sweety. I'm waiting to take it also till I can get the cheaper stuff to take in the mornings on an empty stomach, waiting around a 1/2hr before I eat anything. I'll take it with my thyroid pill. I figure the expensive one I'll take at night has the coating on it so it will at least go into the intestines before digesting, just in case there is any food left to digest. I can't find the higher dose ones at all in the states. Can only find the 20,000. IU 's here.

I was hoping if a higher dose was needed for my sister, which I'm sure she will need it, she wouldn't have to take so many. But so far it's looking like that is the way to go. Soon we will both be starting it too. Hope it works for you and Dave, keep in touch. Diana

Hi Every1

Started taking it last night, hoping the effects are instant but realistically know I'll have to wait a while until I can tell whether its helping pain and its going to be difficult to know what its doing to scar tissue unless the pain levels are effected.
Hope it helps every1 who takes it x

Diana,

I have done alot of reading about Serrapeptase (a proteolytic enzyme derived fom the silkworm) before I bought the 40,000 unit size capsules that are not enteric coated from Doctor's Best and the 60,000 enteric coat type capsules from Source Natauals. And, no where have I read that this product reduces cholesterol. You are suppose to take them on an empty stomach since stomach acid destroys their effectiveness --- 2 to 3 hous after eating for normal digestion.

The literature does claim to act as a chelating agent like the EDTA that is used for Chelation Therapy and a pain/ inflammation releiver that is as good some NSIADs but w/o side effects and helps sinus mucous drainage.

There is a probiotic supplement that helps lower cholesterol -- Lactobacillius sporogenes.
I have use it and it does work. The only study I found was one done in India but Dr Mercola gives it to all his patients because of it beneficial affect.

I wish you well---Harry

Harry, what I read said it helps clean the plaque build up in the veins, as I do have sinus problems I will continue with taking this product. I am on Red Yeast Rice for cholesterol also, plus CoQ10 because the RYR lowers this nutrient in the body. Thanks for your input, your a wise poster. Diana

Diane--
Gee -Wise --Well Thank you!!

The cleaning of plaque in arteries & veins is Chelation Therapy that is done with IV EDTA.
CoQ10 is good for circulation and have taken it for years -- best is a softgel instead of power type of caps.

Harry

This is meant to help endometriosis isn't it. I read in an endo book that another enzyme can make it a lot worse, just a little concerned as my pain is rough :-(

Scraggy, Yes it's really good for endometriosis, it eats fibrin, that is what endo is made up of. Sorry your still feeling so badly. Huggs. Diana

Perhaps getting worse is a sign that its working and things will get better soon, can only hope :-(

i just got some from puritans pride and it is 90,000u--you just can't beat their prices! i've also ordered EDTA to do oral chelation therapy--got that from wonderlabs--they have great prices also and they are right here in nashville! i don't know if it works as well as IV edta, but they claim it does work--so i'll see!

Thanks, I have some 20thousand iu's to use up but I took down the numbers. It averages out to be 19.99 a bottle, I'm sure there's shipping though. I found some 20's for under 5bucks a bottle, 60 in a bottle. I think the 90thou.iu's was a better deal, don't have to take as many.

One thing I have noticed so far. I get really bad sinus problems when the golden rod pollinates this time of year. I spent almost all day outside on Saturday and didn't have much of a problem for the first time in many years. Usually I'm fighting a terrible headache from sinus problems. Happy about it for sure. Diana

Hi There,

Just shown my consultant the enzyme and he's all for it especially after an operation . Well done drs, he knew nothing about it!! :angel:

Scraggy,
At least you have a doctor that is open minded when it comes to something other than prescription drugs. Some doc's won't even look into it at all, hocus pocus to most. Where do they think prescription drugs come from....natural base substances that's where.

So are you going to start taking this after your surgery or have you started already. It sounded like you've started this stuff in your earlier posts. It may not be able to do too much for you yet since your riddled with growth problems inside and possibly scar tissues on top of everything else. If nothing else right now at least it's cleaning out your blood. That will help your immune system and hopefully keep you from getting any virus's that are going around. You don't need that too.

Your problem is so concentrated in your body that I'm sure it would take a long time to get a positive affect that you could notice.

The silkworm digests non-living tissue, I wonder if your fibrous tissue is living or non living. It does help with blood clots because it sweeps out the dead proteins and thins the blood a bit. I read that it helps break down cyst, I'm wondering if that is considered a non-living tissue? The best part is that is suppose to reduce inflammation. Your problems Scraggy are so severe that I'm sure it just does what ever it can in your system, this is why your not noticing much yet. It took a long time for your system to get this bad, it will take a long time to fix unless you have the surgery.

I'm hoping the recent MRI tells the doctor something, I know in some of your other posts that most times it's hard to see your type of problem on an MRI.

Keep me posted. Glad to see your still checking in occasionally.

I just noticed you were online, didn't know if we'd catch each other in real time or not. Diana
