HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Serrapeptase 40,000 IU by AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: serrapeptase, a proteolytic enzyme — a type of protein-digesting enzyme — extracted from silkworm pupae. The capsule also includes inactive ingredients: a plant-derived capsule (DRcaps), microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.

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 cardiovascular health and joint health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Atherosclerosis, Back pain, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Carpal tunnel syndrome, Osteoarthritis, Postoperative swelling — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Serrapeptase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Atherosclerosis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Serrapeptase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Back pain, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Carpal tunnel syndrome, Osteoarthritis, and more.

The evidence for serrapeptase isn't established in our data. We rate it as having insufficient reliable evidence for chronic bronchitis, asthma, atherosclerosis, back pain, and osteoporosis.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means rigorous trials haven't yet proven its effectiveness for these conditions.

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. Most people who take it by mouth don't report problems, and any side effects that do occur — epigastric pain (upper-belly discomfort), gastrointestinal upset, and nausea — appear at about the same rate as placebo in trials.

Serious side effects like bullous pemphigoid (a rare blistering condition) are uncommon. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best avoided.

The same applies to breastfeeding — no reliable information exists. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

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 you take this product, double-check if you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (anticoagulants/antiplatelets) — including aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, or others. The enzyme's blood-thinning effect combined with these medications may raise bleeding risk.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to confirm it's safe for you.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Serrapeptase may be worth considering if you're interested in trying an enzyme supplement and your doctor agrees. If you take any blood-thinning medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the combination needs individual review.

Long-term use hasn't been well studied, so it's a short-term option at this point. Have the conversation with your own healthcare provider about whether it fits your situation.

Serrapeptase 40,000 IU by AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas: Common Questions

Does Serrapeptase 40,000 IU by AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Serrapeptase 40,000 IU 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 40,000 IU 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's it supposed to do?
Serrapeptase is a protein-digesting enzyme from silkworm pupae. It's marketed for conditions like chronic bronchitis, asthma, and back pain, but we don't have solid evidence yet that it works for any of these. It does break down fibrin (a clotting protein) in the lab, which is why there's theoretical concern about bleeding if you combine it with blood thinners.
Can I take this if I'm on aspirin or a blood thinner?
Not without checking first. Serrapeptase has fibrinolytic activity, meaning it may increase bleeding risk when paired with aspirin, warfarin, or other anticoagulants. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to review your specific medications and decide if the combination is safe or if timing needs to change.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Short-term use is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety hasn't been thoroughly studied. If you're thinking of taking it regularly, discuss that with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's appropriate for your situation.
What side effects might I experience?
Most people don't report problems. Some experience upper-belly discomfort, nausea, or gastrointestinal upset, but these occur at about the same rate as placebo. Serious side effects are rare.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for either. It's best avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
