Serrapeptase

jasminej

Has anyone out there tried serrapeptase as an alternative 'treatment'. Its supposed to be an anti inflammatory and I've been taking it for 1 year and it helped considerably. But it started to give me slight gut problems. So at the moment I've stopped. I just wondered if anyone had heard of it or knew about whether or not it was safe to take?!

Hi Jasmine

Just googled serrapeptase. Did you mention it to your gp that you were taking this? Presumably you thought it was safe. It obviously does not agree with you so best leave well alone.

Perhaps others on here have heard or used it but I do not recall anyone mentioning this on here in the past couple of years.

All the best

Hi Jasmine
I have been taking serrapeptase for about 12 months now. Started taking it when I got sciatica on top of osteo-arthritis. I found it very helpful & took the full dose for about 6 months then reduced it to 1 a day. I still take 1 a day as a precaution. I haven't had any other problems with it.

Thank you Greta for getting back to me.

Its good to hear someone else is using it. How did you come across it? Was it recommended to you. I feel it has been very helpful to me.

Hi Jasmine
I can't really remember how I found out about it. I think I was researching sciatica on the web & came across a web site where some people were saying what had helped them. But I can't remember the web site name.
