Proteolytic Enzymes: Broad spectrum proteolytic enzyme formulation

• Science-based nutrition
• Dietary supplement

Best Proteolytic Enzymes is a potent formulation containing a broad spectrum of proteolytic enzymes (proteases). Proteolytic enzymes function in the body to digest and break down proteins into their amino acid components. When taken as supplements, studies show that various proteolytic enzymes, including bromelain (from pineapple), papain (from papaya), serratiopeptidase (from bacteria), and fungal protease (from a non-pathogenic fungus medium), are absorbed through the lining of digestive tract and into the circulation. These enzymes, once in the bloodstream, are available to facilitate chemical reactions throughout the body and have a wide range of applications.

Proteolytic Enzymes Provide Support for Muscle, Joint, and Overall Tissue Health

In addition to their role in digestion, proteolytic enzymes serve another, much larger role in the body’s chemical reactions: they activate tissue repair and break down the debris left by cells after irritation or injury. This can improve the ability of important molecules and cells involved in the body’s immune response to modulate the restorative processes within our tissues.

Serratiopeptidase Modulates the Immune System and the Secretion of Mucous

Serratiopeptidase (or Serrapeptase) is a powerful proteolytic enzyme that has been used widely in clinical practice in Japan and Europe for over 30 years to modulate the immune system and the secretion of mucous. It is made by the bacteria Serratia E15, found in the digestive tract of silkworms, which harness the serratiopeptidase enzyme to break down food and the walls of their silk cocoons as they emerge in their moth state.

Serrapeptase appears to thin mucus and modulate molecules involved in both the immune and blood clotting systems. Studies thus far suggest that serrapeptase is a promising, safe and useful supplement to help support the immune system and thin mucus.
