What to know
Serrapeptase has been used for swelling after surgery or dental work. A review of the clinical trials concluded the evidence is weak and the studies were poor quality, so its benefits are unproven. Enzymes like this are usually taken on an empty stomach so they are not used up digesting food.
Who should check first
- Blood thinners, daily aspirin or a bleeding disorder: do not use it without your doctor's advice.
- Before surgery: tell your doctor and ask when to stop.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding: do not use it.
