What does it do?

Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme that belongs to the enzyme group that helps reduce inflammation and break down mucus. It is primarily used to thin phlegm for easier expectoration in respiratory diseases.

Serratiopeptidase breaks down proteins in the inflamed area, reducing swelling and inflammation. It also breaks down mucus, making it easier to expel phlegm during coughing.
