Re: Interesting enzyme that stops inflammation.

[Guest guest]

It is in use here in the U.S. too. sold as Serrapeptase.

But the website listed below states:

=========================

Ingredients: Serrapeptase 5 mg., Maltodextrin, Microcrystalline Cellulose,

Stearic Acid, and Silicon Dioxide. Equivalent to 10,000 iu activity

There are many products promoting a 20mg. 40,000 unit dosage. This dosage is

considerably too high to consume at one time. For absorption reasons it is

recommended to take 10 mg. twice daily or 5 mg. 4 times daily before meals. "

==========================

I bought some Serrapeptase which stated that it contained 500 mg. equivalent to

40,000 I.U.

It was waay too strong. Gave me heavy abdominal gas. I threw it away after

taking it three times with the same result each time.

But I am wondering why such a wide discrepancy in the I.U. values.

Hi Ora,

Thanks for this. Really interesting. I can't think of why there is such a

difference in the I.U. unless it is galloping incompetence, corruption, or

somebody making a buck. Heh!! If you find out let me know please.
