How to Use Serrapeptase for Shrinking Fibroids

Serrapeptase is an enzyme derived from silkworm intestines first used in Europe and Asia. Its use became more common in the United States in the mid-1990s. The enzyme is thought to help ease inflammation and pain when taken several times a day. Serrapeptase works by targeting "dead" material in the body--including things like scar tissue and fibroids (benign tumors that usually appear in a women's uterus). The fibroid cells expand until the tumor becomes a rubbery mass. Serrapeptase attacks those masses by breaking down the cells that cause the fibroids to grow.
