Anyone tried Serrapeptase?

I was just wondering if anyone has tried this enzyme. It supposed to be beneficial in reducing inflammation and helping to aide in muscular tissue repair. I was thinking about trying it. Thanks

Fibromyalgia isn't inflammatory and doesn't damage muscles so I'd have no need of it if that's what it helps. Others might have conditions it might be good for.

Thanks PeaceN2You. I know that fibro is not inflammatory but it was listed in quite a few sites as being helpful with many conditions including fibro; so I was wondering if anyone had tried it for fibro. I have mayofascial pain syndrome as well. I know that everyone experiences microscopic tears in their muscles on a daily basis, but when you have fibro your muscles are not repaired during sleep due to a lack of growth hormone. So I was wondering if Serrapeptase might help. Thanks again.

Yes, I've tried it wih no results. I did not notice any difference in my symptoms (I have underlying inflammatory issues) at all. It upset my stomach no matter how I tried to take it too. Take care.

Thanks Fantod I appreciate your reply. Do you happen to recall what dosage you used? I Just bought some labled 2000 units; but I recall seeing higher dosages.

No, sorry I don't remember.

Just to be clear for anyone else reading about this supplement, I did not buy it to help with Fibromyalgia. I have underlying inflammatory issues that I thought Serrapeptase might help. Fibromyalgia is not inflammatory in nature.

Take care.
