Each capsule provides 120,000 US FCC of serratiopeptidase, which breaks down non-living tissue to accelerate healing and reduce pain caused by inflammation.
Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the bacterial organism Serratia sp. E-15, found in the intestinal wall of silkworms. Its natural function is to help the silkworm emerge from its cocoon. It has proved useful in humans for the elimination of dead tissue.
The enzyme causes proteolysis of all non-essential tissues, including blood clots, cysts, tissue plaques and cellular debris, and reduces the inflammatory response.serratiopeptidase reduces inflammation by clearing fluid formed by wounds, facilitating fluid elimination at this site. This action helps speed up the healing process. It also helps relieve pain by inhibiting the release of pain-causing amines called bradykinin, and improves cardiovascular health by breaking down the protein by-products of blood clotting, fibrin.
