Has anyone used this? What are the benefits you've seen and any side affects?

never tried it, but it sounds promising -

Yes it does

I used it in the past, and didn't notice anything wonky regarding my UC. Others have used it (can't remember who lately).

One may notice weightloss...depending on when it's taken, and increased or looser bms because of the digestive enzymes.

It smells strong and your poos will smell similar, so don't worry about that part.

Keep us posted.

I have used it along with nattokinase. Plan to resume it once I am off this last 5mg of prednisone.

I took it for vasuclar issues not UC.

I used it most of this year. Its one of those doesnt hurt kind of supplements. I havent bought it again though.

Yes I'm using serrreptase it's one of the ingredients in the two products I use to he break down biofilms. Kirkmans biofilm defense and neprinol is the other. I use these in conjunction with natural anti microbials and probiotics to try and rebalance a strep overgrowth that was picked up in a fecal microbial sample. You'll see these type of enzymes often used in the first step of many biofilm protocols. I've had no problem with it, Im currently using it and drug free and virtually symptom free. I'd say that by themselves serrapeptase is probably not that useful.

It's pointless to take Serra if you arent going to kill the stuff it releases from biofilm. You stand to worsen your symptoms.

Pathogen does that mean take or not
Posted 7/23/2013 4:59 AM (GMT 0)
Yes I think patho means its pointless to take serrapeptase that destroys the biofilms UNLESS you also take something to kill the bad guys that are released and left undefended once the biofilm is enzymed away

Oh it's so complicated
Posted 7/23/2013 7:27 AM (GMT 0)
Not really. The enzymes break down the defenses. Then then the anti microbials zap the baddies. Then you take something (e.g. Pectin or slippery elm) to mop up the mess and carry away the casualties and their toxic remains. Then you bring in some new good guys - probiotics.

I took it for 1 month and it didn't do anything for my UC, but I was taking it to help with my bone, muscles, etc... pains .... and it did nothing for that.

I stopped taking it and saw no change whatsoever.

It's funny the promote it as a miracle healer.
Posted 7/23/2013 3:31 PM (GMT 0)
They promote everything as a miracle. And Serra is miraculous when used correctly. I meant it was pointless to take it if you *aren't* gonna kill the things it releases...like Jimbo, my wonderful translator said ;)

so I'd use in combination with slippery elm?
