Doctor’s Best
Research with serrapeptase, a proteolytic
enzyme, for maintenance of healthy sinus
function began decades ago in Japan. Studies
thus far indicate that serrapeptase is a safe
and useful supplement to promote favorable
viscosity of nasal and bronchial mucus.
●
Mucous membranes that line the body’s
hollow structures, as in the upper respira-
tory system, are the first line of defense in
the nose and lungs to trap and filter
inhaled dust, pollutants, and other poten-
tially damaging agents.
●
Proteolytic enzymes, such as serrapep-
tase, can break down inappropriate protein
complexes in mucus, allowing the cilia
(microscopic hairlike projections in the
mucosal epithelium of the upper respirato-
ry tract) to helpfully transport mucus in the
airway. This supports the healthy balance
between adequate mucous viscosity/elastici-
ty and airway comfort levels.
What the Research Shows
In a large double blind trial, 193 participants
were randomized into two groups and
instructed to take either serrapeptase or
placebo 3 times daily after meals for one
week. After 4 days and at the end of the 7
to 8 day period, mucus secretion, airway free-
dom, and measures of immune response were
significantly favorable in the serrapeptase
group compared with the placebo group.
How Enzyme Potency Is Measured
Doctor’s Best discloses the potency details of
Serrapeptase, so that you will know exactly
what you're getting.
●
Enzyme strength is measured in terms
of activity rather than weight. Even if an
enzyme is present, unless it is functional it
will not be useful. Before you purchase
any enzyme product, make sure the label
lists the enzyme’s functional activity, which
routinely will come from a laboratory
measure as standard activity units.
●
The best standard measure for serrapep-
tase is “Serratiopeptidase Units” or SPU. Best
Serrapeptase provides 40,000 SPU per cap-
sule, which is considered very high activity.
●
Each
Best Serrapeptase
vegetarian
capsule contains pure serrapeptase designed
for optimal absorption in the intestinal tract.
