Serrapeptase

Occasionally, we all experience pain. Whether it's due to an injury or a disease caused by aging, pain can be debilitating and limit our freedom.

 Enerex Serrapeptase was the first of its kind to be launched on the Canadian market in 2004. It has proven to be safe and effective as it acts as an anti-inflammatory and pain blocker, similar to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen), but without the harmful effects on the stomach. Enerex uses a DRcap (delayed-release capsule), free of chemicals and solvents and which better masks odors and tastes, thus minimizing the risk of reflux, rather than using an enteric-coated capsule. Thus, Serrapeptase can pass through the stomach to the small intestine where the enzyme is then released. For optimal results, Serrapeptase should be taken on an empty stomach. 

What do a stuffy nose, an infection, and post-operative swelling have in common?

They are all initially caused by inflammation.
Our body has a love-hate relationship with inflammation: it's a necessary natural response to protect the body and facilitate the healing process, but it also causes pain and swelling, mucus buildup, and increases symptoms of infections, including redness, burning, and heat. Excessive inflammation in the body can also limit joint function, destroy bones, and lead to heart and nerve disorders.

How does Serrapeptase work?

Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme, meaning it breaks down proteins and protein by-products, non-living tissues. Serrapeptase can break down dead tissues without harming living tissues. Having this ability also allows it to thin fluids and mucus, allowing the body to recover more quickly from injuries and dental surgery.

Research has shown the effectiveness of serrapeptase in reducing pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with osteoarthritis, joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, post-operative swelling, and pain from dental surgery.


Enerex's Serrapeptase uses a high-activity enzyme to deliver greater efficacy, and our special delayed-release capsule protects the enzyme from destruction by stomach acid to ensure you get the relief you need.

Who should take Serrapeptase?

If you suffer from chronic inflammation or chronic pain, Serrapeptase acts as an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause the side effects associated with NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as salicylate and ibuprofen). If you suffer from swelling, the product can reduce water retention (edema) and post-operative swelling, and can help relieve your sinus problems, including sinusitis or sore throat. Research has shown that Serrapeptase can also help break down and eliminate other types of tissue. Serrapeptase has been used to support antibiotics because it can dissolve bacterial "biofilms" (a common cause of persistent infections) and increase the absorption/concentration of antibiotics in the body.
