Serratiopeptidase

Serratiopeptidase, also known as Serrapeptase, is a proteolytic enzyme originally derived from the non-pathogenic Serratia bacteria strain found in the intestines of silkworms. It is widely used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent in the treatment of conditions such as arthritis, sinusitis, and post-operative swelling. Serratiopeptidase works by breaking down non-living tissue, blood clots, and inflammatory proteins, thereby promoting faster healing and reducing pain and swelling. It is typically produced through controlled fermentation and is available in various oral dosage forms, making it a popular enzyme-based therapeutic in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets.
