Of course.

Serracel, with that huge amount of SPU's, you just need to be very aware of other blood-thinning supplements you are using. It is stronger than any other that I've ever seen. I find it is good to take a couple of smaller serrapeptase during the day.

I might try that next. I am running out of empty stomachs. One a day would be good. I would have to stop nattokinase for a while though.

Carnosine? No. Haven't tried it. https://www.naturalskinrepair.com/l-carnosine.html

that 240,000 IUs is with 2 capsules and I have taken 4 X 40,000 IU Drs Best with no issues. Last april I was on vacation and met a guy with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. I told him about serrapeptase but did not have any with me. I did have one packet of EmercenC with MSM I gave him. I wish I had some serrpeptase though, maybe it would have helped him.

Another question: Is there a reason one would prefere serra over natto or vica versa?

Some say they should be combined. They are synergistic.

Nattokinase

Recently a new enzyme with potent fibrinolytic activity that rivals pharmaceutical agents has been discovered and shows great potential in providing support for hypercoagulative states. This all natural enzyme, Nattokinase, is derived from fermented soy and the bacteria Bacillus natto. Already, backed by research, Nattokinase shows promise in supporting areas such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, angina, venous stasis, thrombosis, emboli, atherosclerosis, fibromyalgia/chronic Fatigue, claudication, retinal pathology, hemorrhoid, varicose veins, soft tissue rheumatisms, muscle spasm, poor healing, chronic inflammation and pain, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, tissue oxygen deprivation, infertility, and other gynecology conditions (e.g. endometriosis, uterine fibroids).

Serrapeptase

Serrapeptase, also known as Serratia peptidase, is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the non-pathogenic enterobacteria Serratia E15. When consumed in unprotected tablets or capsules, the enzyme is destroyed by acid in the stomach. However, enterically-coated tablets enable the enzyme to pass through the stomach unchanged, and be absorbed in the intestine.

Clinical studies show that serrapeptase induces fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and anti-edemic (prevents swelling and fluid retention) activity in a number of tissues, and that its anti-inflammatory effects are superior to other proteolytic enzymes.

Besides reducing inflammation, one of serrapeptase's most profound benefits is reduction of pain, due to its ability to block the release of pain-inducing amines from inflamed tissues. Physicians throughout Europe and Asia have recognized the anti-inflammatory and pain-blocking benefits of this naturally occurring substance and are using it in treatment as an alternative to salicylates, ibuprofen and other NSAIDs.

amazon has it for $19.93 each if you by the two pack with subscribe and save, so it's about 11 dollars cheaper for two of them.

Right before I'm about to buy something on any site, I use what's priceblink, which is a plugin/add-on/extension for a few browsers. I use chrome and with priceblink it instantly compares a bunch of sites for the lowest price.

swansonvitamins, which is where I order most of my stuff has it for 23 and there's coupons 10% off entire orders or you can get 2 dollar shipping, so it's 25 dollars there.

I was asking about the price, because I'm about to order some. Will probably go with the subscribe and save
