About Serrapeptase

Plant: Enzyme originally from silkworm gut bacteria (not a plant)

A proteolytic enzyme used for biofilm and fibrin support, listed on the Recovery guide as a higher-dose enzyme alternative.

Reference dosing

Dosing

NutraMedix label: 1 to 2 capsules, 1 to 3 times daily, at least 30 minutes before meals with a full glass of water. Bartonella approach: 2 capsules three times daily. The Recovery guide lists 40,000 to 60,000 units daily, 30 minutes before a meal, as a higher-dose option.

NutraMedix label warnings: do not use if you take blood platelet inhibitors such as Ticlid, Plavix or Coumadin (or similar prescription medicines), and do not use if pregnant or nursing. Stop if you have a reaction. Dosed as capsules, not as a tincture.

These are figures from the sources used on this site. They are not a prescription. Follow the product label and your prescriber.

Safety and cautions

Contraindications: Do not use if you take blood platelet inhibitors such as Ticlid, Plavix or Coumadin, or similar prescription medicines. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Stop use if you have a reaction (NutraMedix label). The product page lists no other drug interactions, which means none are documented there, not that none exist: check with your prescriber or pharmacist, especially if you take any blood thinner.

Herbs can interact with prescription medicines and other supplements. Check with your prescriber or pharmacist first, and do not use herbs in pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless a doctor agrees.
