Serralase by SFI Health – Tissue Maintenance Enzyme Supplement
Serralase tablets by SFI Health are a vegetarian systemic enzyme supplement formulated for tissue maintenance. The formula combines three proteolytic enzymes with catalase in enteric-coated tablets that protect enzyme activity from stomach acid.
Key Serralase Benefits
- Supports tissue maintenance with a vegetarian enzyme combination designed for use between meals rather than with food.
- Combines three protein-breaking enzymes that act at different points along protein molecules, broadening the blend’s proteolytic activity.
- Includes catalase, an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide, alongside the proteases for a complementary biochemical function.
How Serralase Works
Proteolytic means protein-breaking: these enzymes cut the links that hold protein chains together. Serralase combines bacterial, pineapple and papaya enzymes that cut at different sites, rather than relying on a single protease. Catalase performs a separate reaction, breaking down hydrogen peroxide. The enteric coating helps protect these enzymes during their passage through the stomach; the manufacturer directs use between meals.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Serratia peptidase: This bacterial enzyme cuts bonds within protein chains, breaking larger proteins into smaller pieces. It supplies the core proteolytic activity in Serralase, complemented by pineapple and papaya enzymes with different protein-cutting characteristics.
- Bromelain: Pineapple-derived bromelain breaks protein chains into smaller fragments. Its protein-cutting activity complements serratia peptidase and papain because these enzymes work at different points on proteins. This is its functional contribution to Serralase’s multi-enzyme blend.
- Papain: Papain is the protein-breaking enzyme from papaya. It cuts peptide bonds—the links between a protein’s building blocks. Including it alongside bromelain and serratia peptidase gives the formula another source of proteolytic activity rather than more of the same enzyme.
- Catalase: Catalase converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide is produced during normal metabolism, and the body’s own catalase helps manage it. In Serralase, catalase adds a different enzyme function from the protein-breaking action of the other three ingredients.
Serralase Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking a vegetarian enzyme formula for tissue maintenance.
- People whose healthcare professional recommends a between-meal systemic enzyme supplement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Serralase
What are the benefits of Serralase?
Serralase is formulated for tissue maintenance. Serratia peptidase, bromelain and papain provide complementary protein-breaking activity, while catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide. The enteric coating protects enzyme activity from stomach acid.
Who should take Serralase?
Serralase is intended for adults seeking a vegetarian systemic enzyme formula, with use between meals. Children should use it only as directed by a healthcare professional; the manufacturer also requires physician consultation for anyone under 18.
Are there any side effects of taking Serralase?
Bromelain in Serralase can cause allergic reactions. Do not use it with warfarin or other blood thinners without your prescriber’s guidance because of a potential bleeding risk. Bromelain can also increase levels of tetracycline antibiotics. The manufacturer cautions: Consult your physician If you are pregnant or nursing, or have a medical condition, or taking prescription drugs, or under the age of 18 years. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
How does Serralase support overall health?
Serralase brings together protein-breaking enzymes for tissue maintenance rather than serving as a vitamin or mineral supplement. Catalase provides a complementary peroxide-breaking function. Its between-meal directions distinguish it from enzymes taken with meals for food digestion.
