Proteolytic enzymes break down proteins into amino acids. Serrapeptase’s speciality is that it breaks down non-living proteins in the human body. Non-living tissues exist in the body only when there is inflammation, swelling or blockage. Serrapeptase targets such places in the body and reduces inflammation.
