Serretia®

A proteolytic (protein digesting) enzyme with potent fibrinolytic activity. It has been shown to support healthy sinus activity and promote a normal inflammatory response to overexertion.

Serrapeptase (AKA Serratiopeptidase) was discovered as scientists were studying silkworms and their ability to break down silk cocoons. They found that the silkworm excreted an enzyme that was responsible for breaking down the silk. As they looked further into the enzyme, they found a specific type of bacteria within the silkworm that was producing the enzyme, now referred to as Serratia E-15.

Serratia E-15 is used during the manufacturing process of serrapeptase today. Silkworms are not used in the production of serrapeptase, they were simply how the enzyme was discovered.

Serretia helps to speed recovery after sports injuries, surgeries, muscle tears and pulls, as well as promote healthy sinus activity.

Although Serretia contains highly potent serrapeptase, it can be safely incorporated into your supplement regimen. There have been no serious adverse events reported from the use of Serretia. However, it is important to follow dosage instructions unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.

Enteric coatings are designed to protect enzymes and other supplements from stomach acid. Plastic-like chemicals known as phthalates are often used in this coating process. Phthalates are actually banned in children's toys in Europe and Mexico, so why would we ever include these in our formulas?

Arthur Andrew Medical instead utilizes an all-natural, chemical-free acid armor capsule. These capsules are comprised of an extra-thick layer of cellulose (vegetable capsules) with a micro-threaded locking mechanism to prevent leaking. Acid Armor capsules have been designed to delay the release of the capsule's contents for up to an hour, without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.

For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.

The product is certified Kosher by Star-K, and a copy of the
certification is available by request.

The formula is vegetarian in accordance with the guidelines of the AMERICAN VEGETARIAN ASSOCIATION.
