HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Serrapeptase by NutraMedix

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 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients. Serrapeptase is an enzyme believed to have fibrinolytic activity—meaning it may help break down fibrin, a protein involved in inflammation and clotting.

Inulin is a type of fiber often used as a prebiotic to support digestive health and potentially help regulate blood sugar and weight. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients: vegetable capsule material and vegetable magnesium stearate (a flow agent).

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Constipation — rated "Possibly Effective" (Inulin) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Diabetes — rated "Possibly Effective" (Inulin) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Obesity — rated "Possibly Effective" (Inulin) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for serrapeptase in this product is incomplete. There's insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for chronic bronchitis, asthma, atherosclerosis, back pain, or osteoporosis—the main conditions it's marketed for.

Inulin shows more promise: it's rated possibly effective for obesity, constipation, and diabetes based on available research. However, neither ingredient has overwhelmingly strong evidence backing its use for any single condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Serrapeptase Inulin

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • 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, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. The most common side effects are stomach pain, general gastrointestinal upset, and nausea, though these appear to occur at similar rates to placebo.

A rare serious side effect, bullous pemphigoid (a blistering skin condition), has been reported. Inulin is well tolerated overall but frequently causes gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach cramps—especially at higher doses over 30 grams.

Anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) is rare but has occurred with high-inulin foods. Because serrapeptase has insufficient safety data, it should be avoided during pregnancy.

While inulin is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, serrapeptase should not be used while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Inulin, Serrapeptase.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 208 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 supplement, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel)—serrapeptase may increase bleeding and bruising risk. Similarly, if you take diabetes medications, confirm it's safe, since inulin could theoretically raise your risk of low blood sugar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may appeal to people looking for natural support for inflammation or digestive health, but the evidence behind serrapeptase remains limited. If you take blood thinners or diabetes medications, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—both ingredients carry documented interactions.

Even without medications, discuss it with your healthcare provider to weigh whether the uncertain benefits justify the cost and potential side effects.

Serrapeptase by NutraMedix: Common Questions

Does Serrapeptase by NutraMedix interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Serrapeptase has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Serrapeptase contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Serrapeptase should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety data. Inulin is likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding in food amounts, but safety of concentrated supplement doses isn't well studied. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using this product.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common side effects are stomach pain, nausea, and general digestive upset from serrapeptase, and gas, bloating, diarrhea, and stomach cramps from inulin—especially at higher inulin doses. These tend to be mild, though serious reactions like severe allergic reactions are rare.
Does this actually work for what it claims?
The evidence is mixed. Serrapeptase lacks sufficient reliable evidence to confirm it works for chronic bronchitis, asthma, back pain, atherosclerosis, or osteoporosis. Inulin is possibly effective for constipation, obesity, and diabetes based on current research, though results vary.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Serrapeptase is generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so caution is warranted with extended use. Inulin is generally safe in food amounts, but concentrated supplement safety over time isn't well established.
What exactly is serrapeptase and what does it do?
Serrapeptase is an enzyme with fibrinolytic activity, meaning it may help break down fibrin, a protein involved in inflammation and blood clotting. It's marketed for conditions involving inflammation, though solid evidence for its effectiveness remains limited.
What's inulin and why is it in this product?
Inulin is a fiber that acts as a prebiotic to feed beneficial gut bacteria. It's included because research suggests it may help with blood sugar control, weight management, and constipation, though the strength of that evidence varies by condition.
