HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Extra Strength Serrapeptase by Zazzee Naturals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: serrapeptase, a proteolytic enzyme — a protein that breaks down other proteins. It's derived from the digestive secretions of the silkworm.

The capsule also includes inactive ingredients: hypromellose (a film-coating polymer), rice powder, magnesium stearate (a lubricant), and silica.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Serrapeptase's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Support normal respiratory health and immune function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Asthma, Chronic bronchitis, Laryngitis, Pharyngitis, Rhinosinusitis, Bronchiectasis — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Serrapeptase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic bronchitis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Serrapeptase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Asthma, Pharyngitis, Rhinosinusitis, Bronchiectasis, and more.

The evidence for serrapeptase is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for chronic bronchitis, asthma, atherosclerosis, back pain, or osteoporosis.

That means the studies we have aren't robust enough yet to say whether it works for these uses. If you're considering it for a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current evidence actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Serrapeptase

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Serrapeptase is generally well tolerated in the short term, though long-term safety hasn't been thoroughly studied. The most common side effects reported are epigastric pain (discomfort in the upper abdomen), general gastrointestinal upset, and nausea — though in trials these occurred about as often as placebo.

Bullous pemphigoid, a rare blistering skin condition, has been reported. The safety data advises against using this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before taking it.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Serrapeptase

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Serrapeptase.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check your exact medications if you use any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — including warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or similar medications. This is a Moderate-severity interaction.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Serrapeptase is generally well tolerated short-term, but the evidence for what it actually treats is still thin. The main concern is its potential to increase bleeding risk when paired with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs.

If you take any of those medications, check with us or your pharmacist before starting. Long-term safety isn't well established, and it's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Extra Strength Serrapeptase by Zazzee Naturals: Common Questions

Does Extra Strength Serrapeptase by Zazzee Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Extra Strength Serrapeptase has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Extra Strength Serrapeptase contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is serrapeptase and what does it do?
Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme — a protein that breaks down other proteins — derived from the digestive system of silkworms. It has fibrinolytic activity, meaning it helps break down fibrin, a protein involved in blood clotting. It's used in this supplement for a variety of claimed health purposes, though the evidence is still limited.
Does serrapeptase actually work for back pain, asthma, or bronchitis?
Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to say whether serrapeptase helps any of these conditions — including back pain, asthma, atherosclerosis, chronic bronchitis, and osteoporosis. The studies so far haven't been robust enough to confirm it works. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's worth trying for your situation.
What are the side effects?
Most commonly, people report epigastric pain (discomfort in the upper abdomen), gastrointestinal upset, and nausea — though in trials these happened about as often as placebo. Bullous pemphigoid, a rare blistering skin condition, has been reported. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied.
Is it safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against using serrapeptase during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Can I take this with aspirin or other blood thinners?
That's a question for your pharmacist or doctor — serrapeptase may theoretically increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel. Use the medication checker on this page or ask us to review your specific medications before starting.
