Re: Serrapeptase for Ascites

just fyi - I have been taking serrapeptase for about 15 years - sometimes over a million units in a day with absolutely no side effects. The brand I used sold out to a chinese corporation. I was not aware of that and purchased it after not having used it for a year. about 45 minutes after taking 2 capsules I experienced severe stomach cramps and nausea which lasted for about six hours. duckduckgoed it and found the China connection. threw it away and got my money back.

Recently tried another brand that stated 'made in USA which I know can mean 'assembled in USA from ingredients sourced from China. took two capsules and again experienced severe stomach cramps and nausea which lasted for three days. just contacted the company and asked if any of the ingredients were sourced from China. response:

'Could you please give me a call? Your question can be interpreted in a number of ways, and I’m not sure how to answer it in a concise manner.'

That answered my question in no uncertain terms. Threw it away.

Serrapeptase is a wonder supplement on so many levels. But there is a very good reason for people wanting their supplements to be 'china free'. I will now have to try another brand because it is well worth the trouble. I would very much like to name the two brands that made me sick but do not know if that is allowed. Just in case - they were Drs. Best and restoreActive

cheer and good health to us all -

Krysia, I have not had issues with Dr.’s Best and I have also purchases SerraGold and have no issues with that brand either.

Regarding Serrapeptase, I'd only take "Arthur Andrew Medical" brand called "SERRATIA". SerraGold is also fine, but it's a different formula with Calcium added and a couple of other things. I prefer pure Serrapeptase.
