The cocoon that the silkworm weaves is composed of silk, one of the most luxurious fabrics, and also one of the strongest and durable natural materials. But what is silk made of? Special proteins secreted and woven together by the silkworm. Silk is composed of an insoluble protein known as fibroin held together by a glue-like layer of another protein called sericin. It is a very strong, tough, and resilient protein, yet this enzyme, serrapeptase, is able to break it down with ease. It really is a miracle.
Commercially available serrapeptase is produced from cultures of Serratia marcescens. Serrapeptase is also known as serratiopeptidase, serralysin, serratiapeptase, Serratia peptidase, serratiopeptidase, or serrapeptidase.
How Does Serrapeptase Work?
Serrapeptase and other proteolytic enzymes breakdown proteins by essentially adding water or hydrolyzing the bonds between specific amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. It is now well documented that orally administered proteolytic enzymes, including serrapeptase,3 are absorbed intact into the bloodstream to exert systemic effects. In fact, serrapeptase has been shown to be delivered to preferentially to tissues that have been injured or are under stress.4
What are the Health Benefits of Serrapeptase?
Serrapeptase has been used in Europe and Japan for over 50 years with documented benefits for supporting the body's response to injury and the health of the immune system, blood vessels, and respiratory tract.
Serrapeptase has shown to improve circulation and reduce swelling by breaking down fibrin and inhibiting the formation of molecules that attract inflammatory cells to the site of trauma.5 Reducing swelling furthermore helps with pain. Serrapeptase also inhibits the formation of pain-inducing compounds known as kinins. These actions can help in recovery from sports injuries, trauma, repetitive stress (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome), and surgical procedures.
A study showed that serrapeptase could help improve the response to injury and trauma.6 This effect has been documented in a variety of experimental models and clinical studies.7-10 For example, serrapeptase has been shown to improve joint function and mobility in patients with knee pain.7 It has also have been shown to promote healing following dental and surgical procedures by reducing swelling and bruising, thereby speeding up healing time. Women suffering from symptoms of fibrocystic breasts such as pain, swelling, and tenderness have also benefitted from serrapeptase.11.
