Five thousand years of silk
The silkworm (Bombyx mori) has been bred for thousands of years; according to Chinese tradition, Empress Leizu discovered silk when a cocoon fell into her tea. To get out of the cocoon, the moth uses an enzyme from a bacterium in its gut. That enzyme is serrapeptase.
Made in the United States
Doctor's Best has the capsules made in the United States. The serrapeptase is protected with Serrateric™, a coating based on calcium salts. The capsule is plant-based and the product is vegan.
Facts about this product
One capsule contains 40,000 SPU serrapeptase. Take one to three capsules a day without food. Doctor's Best recommends starting with this dosage before you use the stronger 120,000 SPU.
Serrapeptase 40,000 SPU by Doctor's Best
Serrapeptase is a proteolytic, or protein-splitting, enzyme derived from the Serratia bacteria strain E-15. Serrapeptase is also known as serratiopeptidase, serrapeptidase or Serratia E-15 protease. This variant of Doctor's Best Serrapeptase contains 40,000 SPU. This product is also available in 120,000 SPU.
Enzymes are released only in the intestines
These serrapeptase capsules come with a Serrateric™ coating. This is a superior alternative to enteric coated capsules. The unique coating ensures the enzymes are released strictly in the intestines and not in the stomach. Stomach acid can destroy serrapeptase. The enzymes are optimally absorbed in the intestines. The enzyme serrapeptase splits proteins and is active in the mucous membranes, among other places.
Benefits
Proteolytic, protein-splitting enzyme from Serratia bacterial strain E-15. Serrateric™ coating ensuring the enzymes are optimally absorbed through the intestines. Does not contain gluten; GMO-free. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Japanese silkworm
This proteolytic enzyme is present in the intestinal bacteria of the Japanese silkworm. Serrapeptase is used by the silkworm to dissolve the cocoon. As a supplement, it has been on the Asian and European markets for decades and has been well researched for 40 years.
Quantum effects of enzymes
Enzymes do essential work throughout our body. They are catalysts for biochemical reactions inside cells and can accelerate these processes up to a trillion times. How does this work? Enzymes make use of what in quantum mechanics is called the tunneling effect. A particle passes through a barrier. Imagine it like this: the particle doesn't have enough energy to go over a high mountain, but it can teleport itself through a kind of tunnel. It disappears on one side of the mountain and reappears on the other side at the same time. Without tunneling, enzymes would never be able to accelerate chemical reactions to the extent that they do.
