THE SERRAPEPTASE CONNECTION
~ Natural Anti-Inflammatory ...
and Sooo Many More Benefits!! ~
So I have recently studied about serrapeptase which is an enzyme that is taken from the silkworm. It is a massive inflammation regulator for the body (reducing inflammatory blood biomarkers) and I added it to my daily orthomolecular personal prescription line up I have devised for myself. I have had such an amazing rush of energy, my teeth even feel as if they are vibrating from the amazingness of this compound!! Haha. I feel like I can sprint to the moon and back and jump this little 5ft body over people's heads during resistance at the gym!!! No exaggeration. It improves vascular function by cleansing and producing anti-inflammation effects for your entire system! Read more about it on WebMD and the following links! I am providing this info as education. It is NOT meant to be a personal prescription for any one of you. Nevertheless, please read on for some great info on this wonder-chemical!
From WebMD...
It is a commonly used drug (Takeda Chemical Industries) in Japan and Europe. In the U.S., serrapeptase is classified as a dietary supplement.
Serrapeptase is used for painful conditions including back pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, carpel tunnel syndrome, migraine headache, and tension headache.
It has also been used for conditions that involve pain and swelling (inflammation) including sinusitis, laryngitis, sore throat, ear infections, swelling after surgery, swelling of a vein with the formation of a blood clot (thrombophlebitis), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Some people use serrapeptase for heart disease and “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis).
Women use it for non-cancerous lumpy breasts (fibrocystic breast disease), and nursing mothers use it for breast pain caused by too much milk (breast engorgement).
Other uses include treatment of diabetes, leg ulcers, asthma, and pus accumulation (empyema).
How does it work?
Serrapeptase helps the body break down protein. This might help decrease inflammation and mucous.

As well as inflammation, some scientific studies have suggested serrapeptase can play a role in the breakdown of arteriosclerosis plaque in the cases of heart disease and artery hardening along with many other inflammatory based disease (inflammation is the root of a vast majority of disease!)
