SERRAPEPTASE
This remarkable enzyme, known as the silkworm enzyme,
is actually produced by a friendly bacterium found naturally within
the silkworm, The enzyme is utilised by the silkworm to dissolve its
protective cocoon without having a detrimental effect
on the living cells of the emerging silkmoth. The
bacterium responsible for this enzyme is Serratia E15 and the enzyme
is also known as Serratia peptidase. The enzyme was discovered in
the early 1970's and is now produced commercially through a
fermentation process ensuring that the silkworm population is not
affected.
The Benefits of Serrapeptase
Over the past 30 years the benefits of this
remarkable enzyme have been studied in no less than 23 scientific
studies and these combined with practitioners observations has given
us a comprehensive list of areas it may help.
Pain
- Osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, backache, headaches and
migraines have all shown improvement with serrapeptase.
Inflammation
- Inflammatory conditions such as Crohn's disease, colitis and
cystitis have been helped. It has also been successfully used with
other conditions where inflammation is a major factor such as
fibromyalgia, inflammatory lung conditions, sporting injuries,
post-operative swelling and traumatic swelling.
Circulation
- this enzyme is able to digest dead tissue and therefore the
effects it has on arterial plaques, blood clots and scar tissue have
circulatory benefits. Cardiovascular disease, varicose veins and
non-healing eg ulcers have all shown improvement.
Eyes, Ears and Nose
- A number of conditions affecting these areas have been helped
including eye problems due to inflammation and blocked veins,
sinusitis, chronic ear infections and runny noses.
Auto - immune Conditions
- The conditions that can be classified as auto-immune that have
been helped by this enzyme include multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid
arthritis and lupus.
Other-
Fibrocystic breast disease, enlarged prostate and carpal tunnel
syndrome have also been helped.
Properties
The enzyme is described as a proteolytic enzyme and
as such is able to digest certain types of protein. Amazingly, the
enzyme only attacks certain forms of dead tissue such as cysts,
arterial plaque and scar tissue.
Studies have also revealed powerful anti-inflammatory
effects of this enzyme without the inhibitory effects on
prostaglandins exhibited by pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs,
It helps with pain
reduction by blocking the release of pain-inducing
amines from inflamed tissue.
Contra-indications/ Precautions
None reported.
