Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme, meaning it helps break down proteins. It has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, anti-edema and mucolytic properties and is commonly used to support the body's natural response to inflammation and swelling. Enerex Serrapeptase provides 60,000 SU, 90,000 SU, and 120,000 SU in one delayed-release capsule.

Serrapeptase may help support: Healthy inflammatory response; Reduction of swelling and fluid accumulation; Recovery following tissue stress or injury; Breakdown of protein-based cellular debris; Healthy tissue remodelling; Mucus breakdown and respiratory clearance. Rather than thinking of Serrapeptase as a product for one specific condition, think of it as an enzyme that supports the body's natural inflammatory and tissue-recovery processes.

Most digestive enzymes are taken with food because their job is to help break down the food we eat. Serrapeptase is different. It is taken away from food on an empty stomach and is intended for systemic rather than digestive enzyme support. That is why Enerex Serrapeptase should be taken 30 minutes before food or at least 2 hours after eating.

Serrapeptase is an enzyme, so protecting it as it travels through the stomach is important. Enerex uses a delayed-release DRcaps® capsule designed to delay the release of the enzyme until later in the digestive tract. This is also why Serrapeptase should be swallowed whole rather than opened or mixed into food.

SU stands for Serrapeptase Units, a measurement of the enzyme's activity. For enzymes, activity is particularly important because it describes how actively the enzyme can perform its protein-breaking function. Each Enerex capsule provides: 120,000 SU of Serrapeptase in a convenient once-daily capsule.

Adults take 1 capsule daily with enough water to swallow, on an empty stomach: 30 minutes before food, or at least 2 hours after eating, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Taking Serrapeptase away from food prevents the enzyme from simply being used to help break down dietary proteins.

Serrapeptase is not a stimulant, pain killer or product that necessarily produces an immediate sensation after taking it. Its role is to support enzymatic processes associated with inflammation, swelling, mucus and protein breakdown. Because individual needs vary, the experience and timeframe can also vary from person to person. Consistency and taking it correctly on an empty stomach are important.

Serrapeptase may be particularly interesting for people looking for nutritional support for Inflammation and swelling; Joint and tissue comfort; Recovery following physical stress; Healthy tissue remodelling; Excess mucus; General proteolytic enzyme support. For specific medical conditions, speak with a healthcare practitioner to determine whether Serrapeptase is appropriate.
