HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Serrapeptase 240,000 SPU by Double Wood Supplements

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. The capsule itself is made from vegetable material and contains rice flour, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide as inactive ingredients.

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: Supports nasal and respiratory health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Asthma, Bronchiectasis, Chronic bronchitis, Laryngitis, Otitis media, Pharyngitis — and 4 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, Otitis media, Pharyngitis, Rhinosinusitis, and more.

The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Serrapeptase has been studied for chronic bronchitis, asthma, atherosclerosis (clogged arteries), back pain, and osteoporosis, but we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of these conditions.

If you're considering it for a specific health concern, that's worth discussing with your pharmacist or doctor.

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 well studied. The most common side effects reported are stomach pain, general digestive upset, and nausea — though research suggests these occur at about the same rate as placebo.

A rare serious side effect (bullous pemphigoid, a skin condition) has been reported. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

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.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — such as warfarin, dabigatran, aspirin, clopidogrel, or similar medications — check your exact medication list with the search tool on this page before adding serrapeptase. The combination carries a Moderate risk of increased bleeding.

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.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, check with your pharmacist before starting serrapeptase — the combination could raise your bleeding risk. It's generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term use hasn't been studied much.

Avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and let your healthcare provider know if you experience stomach pain or nausea.

Serrapeptase 240,000 SPU by Double Wood Supplements: Common Questions

Does Serrapeptase 240,000 SPU by Double Wood Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Serrapeptase 240,000 SPU 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?
Serrapeptase 240,000 SPU 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 exactly is serrapeptase?
Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme — a protein that breaks down other proteins. In test-tube studies, it shows fibrinolytic activity, meaning it can break down fibrin, a protein involved in blood clotting.
Does serrapeptase really work?
We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate serrapeptase for the conditions it's been studied in — chronic bronchitis, asthma, atherosclerosis, back pain, and osteoporosis. That means the current evidence isn't strong enough to say whether it works for these purposes.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common side effects are stomach pain, general digestive upset, and nausea, though research suggests they occur about as often as placebo. A rare serious side effect called bullous pemphigoid (a skin condition) has been reported. Stop and talk to your pharmacist if you experience persistent stomach pain.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against serrapeptase during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in these situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
How long can I safely take this?
Serrapeptase is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. If you're thinking about taking it long-term, that's a good conversation to have with your pharmacist or doctor.
