Serrapeptase

Synonyms: Serratiopeptidase, Serratia peptidase, Serralysin, Serratia marcescens protease, Serrapeptase enzyme, EC 3.4.24.40

Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme originally isolated from the bacterium Serratia marcescens, which was first discovered in the silkworm intestine.

This enzyme has been used for decades in clinical settings across Europe and Asia, primarily for its anti-inflammatory and fibrinolytic properties.

It is known for its ability to break down non-living protein tissue, such as those found in inflammation, edema, and scar tissue, without affecting living tissue.

The enzyme is a metalloprotease, meaning it requires a metal ion (typically zinc) for its catalytic activity.

Serrapeptase is unique among proteases for its high specificity and stability, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract when formulated as enteric-coated tablets.

It is widely used in dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals to support respiratory health, joint comfort, and cardiovascular health by promoting healthy blood flow and reducing inflammation.

At LyvBio, we offer Serrapeptase with a high potency of 225,000 IU per gram, ensuring effective dosing in various formulations. Our product is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure consistent enzymatic activity and purity, making it suitable for use in nutritional supplements, functional foods, and research applications.

Function

• Anti-inflammatory activity: Reduces inflammation by breaking down inflammatory mediators and promoting tissue repair.
• Fibrinolytic activity: Helps dissolve fibrin, a protein involved in blood clot formation, supporting healthy circulation.
• Proteolytic activity: Breaks down non-living protein debris, aiding in the removal of dead tissue and promoting healing.
• Mucolytic activity: Thins mucus, making it easier to expel, which is beneficial for respiratory health.
• Edema reduction: Helps reduce swelling and fluid retention, particularly in post-surgical and inflammatory conditions.
