Overview

Doctor's Best Proteolytic Enzymes provides a blend of three proteolytic enzymes: bromelain (from pineapple), papain (from papaya), and serrapeptase (from Serratia bacteria). When taken between meals on an empty stomach, these enzymes enter the bloodstream and act as systemic anti-inflammatories — breaking down inflammatory proteins, fibrin, and cellular debris. Clinical applications include post-surgical recovery, sinus inflammation, joint pain, and exercise-induced muscle soreness. The enteric-coated capsule protects the enzymes from stomach acid degradation.
