I cannot tell you how often people tell me they’re taking an NSAID, whether it’s Advil, ibuprofen or acetaminophen. It always blows my mind how many people take these drugs on a regular basis to target whatever pain, issue or swelling that they’re experiencing. A lot of this can be averted just through proper diet. Our diet certainly adds insult to injury. Today, I want to discuss something that’s been around for a really long time that is just fantastic when it comes to targeting inflammation, as well as discomfort. I’m going to talk about serrapeptase today.†
What is serrapeptase?
Serrapeptase has long been utilized for a long time for its true benefit, which is its ability to target inflammation in the body without the side effects that we know come with NSAIDs. Oftentimes, when people think about taking an anti-inflammatory medication to relieve pain, they don’t often think about the effects of long-term use of these NSAIDs.†
Serrapeptase is this proteolytic enzyme. What that means is that it chops up or digests different proteins. It is produced by bacteria and this is something that has been shown to have an enormous power to target inflammation.†
Another thing we know with serrapeptase is that it also can help to inhibit plaque buildup in the arteries. I’ve talked about nattokinase before, the fibrinolytic enzyme that comes from natto. Serrapeptase is in the same kind of realm in terms of how it’s actually working in the body. It’s this very unique protein derived from bacteria that helps to ease inflammation and target discomfort.†
How to get this nutrient
We know that there are many different ways in which serrapeptase can have many different functions to it. Understanding the role of serrapeptase when it comes to the resolution of inflammation, this is where the research is probably the strongest. It works in the same exact pathways that the NSAIDs do without the added side effects, plus you’re getting the extra benefits for wound healing, cardiovascular health and more. At the end of the day, when we’re thinking about extra nutrients to add in, we should look at serrapeptase.†
This enzyme can be found alongside nattokinase in our Nattokinase PlusTM formulation. This is a strong proteolytic enzyme formulation that goes far beyond supporting the health of our circulatory system and blood vessels. We now know that we are gaining that benefit when it comes to the targeted inflammation pathways, as well as wound healing.†

There’s a natural compound that’s found in our joints and that is glucosamine. Most people have heard that glucosamine can be very, very beneficial when it comes to targeting inflammation within the joints. For those who experience joint discomfort, when they start to utilize this nutrient, they oftentimes find really positive effects from this. Today, I want to talk in some detail about what exactly glucosamine is doing in the human body.†

Glucosamine, chondroitin and inflammation
Glucosamine is doing something amazing, aside from offering cushioning support to the joint and promoting good, healthy movement. We now realize that this compound has multiple functions in the human body.†
There was a study that was published in 2010 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and they found that those who supplemented with glucosamine on a regular basis had a significant reduction in all-cause mortality. They started to dive into how this could be happening. What they found is that glucosamine, along with chondroitin, both target NF Kappa Beta.†
NF Kappa Beta is one of the master regulators for inflammation in the body. If we have excess NF Kappa Beta, we’re going to have higher levels of inflammation, which is never a good thing. Inflammation is directly causative to all of the different chronic disease states.†
Additional studies have shown that glucosamine can help to support the heart, healthy blood sugar levels, metabolism, respiratory health, digestive health and more.†
After seeing this research, we now recognize that glucosamine goes far beyond just supporting our joints. When it comes to glucosamine utilization, we see this ability to fend off inflammation not just in the joints, but now we’re seeing the ability to fend off inflammation throughout the entire body, which makes this a highly functional nutrient for you to include into your routine.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses the nutrient glucosamine and explains the benefits it offers outside of just joint health.†
Key Topics:
- How this nutrient plays a role in joint health
- Additional research on glucosamine
