Serrapeptase along with other supplements

i am not a doctor so please take this as just a laypersons general thoughts

to many of us with an independent mind - it seems many online sources are somewhat over the top when it comes to natural remedies and potential adverse effects - its seems a little out of balance to me - the general bias seems to be anything pharmaceutical is fine because its prescribed by a doctor( even though they all have a list of known side effects as long as your arm - some of them dangerous ) whereas anything plant based or of natural origin is self prescribed by us dummies in the general public - and presumed to have adverse effects even it none are proven.

so in this case - there may not be any direct studies showing that turmeric and fish oil react badly with serrapeptase - but they all are known to have some effect on blood clotting by one means or another ( though quite possibly by entirely different mechanisms ) - so on online listings etc they are typically presumed to be cumulative and harmful together

so my rationale on this would be - unless you have a known blood clotting disorder - or plan on taking huge doses of any of these - i would guess its very unlikely to be a problem - but it might be wise to go gradually whenever you add anything new to your regime - don't put yourself in a N=1 group by doing something so extreme that you are a real outlier - and of course be mindful of any obvious adverse effects

happy to help

btw - forgot to add most sources say at least 1/2hrs before or 2hrs after food for proteolytic enzymes - like serapeptase

good luck with your trials and have a great weekend yourself

“so my rationale on this would be - unless you have a known blood clotting disorder - or plan on taking huge doses of any of these - i would guess its very unlikely to be a problem - but it might be wise to go gradually whenever you add anything new to your regime.”

- I second this. Garzie said it much better than I could have. I read this before he posted and my first thought was that would be a necessary precaution if you were on Rx blood thinners like Coumadin/Warfarin.

- If your practitioner knows you already take fish oil and turmeric and told you to add garlic and Serrapeptase, then I wouldn’t worry too much. Just don’t take massive doses of everything. If you start to notice bruising or bleeding that won’t clot when you cut yourself shaving or something, then stop and let the doctor know.

Yes - what Garzie said so well!
