HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Serrapeptase 120,000 IU by SuperSmart

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, an enzyme derived from silkworm pupae. Serrapeptase is marketed for its potential to break down fibrin and other proteins in the body.

The capsule also contains acacia, an inactive ingredient used in the formulation.

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: Proteolytic enzyme for inflammation and swelling.
  • We looked for evidence on: Back pain, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis, Postoperative swelling, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Serrapeptase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Back pain (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Serrapeptase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Carpal tunnel syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and more.

The evidence for serrapeptase is limited. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for chronic bronchitis, asthma, atherosclerosis, back pain, and osteoporosis — the main conditions people ask about.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research hasn't yet been robust enough to establish whether it does. If you're considering it for one of these purposes, your pharmacist or doctor can talk through what's known and what remains uncertain.

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 for short-term use, though long-term safety hasn't been studied much. The most common side effects reported are stomach pain, gastrointestinal upset, and nausea — though in trials these occurred at about the same rate as placebo, so they may not be directly caused by the supplement.

A rare serious side effect called bullous pemphigoid (blistering skin condition) has been reported. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best avoided.

The same goes for breastfeeding — no reliable safety information exists, so it should be skipped.

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 — including warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or similar medications — check them against the interaction tool before starting this product. Serrapeptase may increase your bleeding and bruising risk with these drugs.

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 its effectiveness for common conditions isn't well established in the data we hold. The main caution is if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications — this supplement could theoretically increase bleeding risk.

Check your exact medications with the tool on this page, and talk with your pharmacist before you start.
