Serracor-NK®
A patent-pending formula backed by decades of customer satisfaction. Serracor-NK® is power-packed with two synergistic fibrinolytic enzymes – acid-resistant serrapeptase and acid-resistant nattokinase – and boosted with herbs, antioxidants, and other enzymes, for a potent overall effect.*
How to Take
Must be taken on an empty stomach with a large glass of water (30-60 minutes before or 2 hours after meals). Dosage varies by indivudual and should be monitored closely.
One approach that has worked for many is:
- Days 1-5: Take 1 capsule, 3 times a day.
- Days 6-11: Take 2 capsules, 3 times a day.
- Therapeutic Dose: Take 3 capsules, 3 times a day.
- Maintenance Dose: Every body is different. Monitor your body closely as you increase to the Therapeutic Dose. After desired effect has been reached, reduce slowly until you find what amount continues to work for your body. On average, this is 1-2 capsules fewer per day than the Therapeutic Dose.

Supports a Healthy Response to Inflammation*
Promotes Normal Blood Viscosity*
Ingredients Found in Nature
SEBkinase®
A combination of two potent fibrinolytic enzymes: acid-resistant serrapeptase and acid-resistant nattokinase. Individually, each enzyme is a powerhouse with applications in inflammation support, respiratory health, and cardiovascular health. Together, they are an unbeatable one-two punch to maintain healthy living.*

Bromelain
A proteolytic enzyme derived from the stem and fruit of pineapples. Pineapples have a long tradition as a medicinal plant among the natives of South and Central America. Bromelain is popularly used today for inflammation and fibrinolytic support.*

Papain
A proteolytic enzyme derived from the papaya plant. Highly effective, generally well-tolerated by humans and animals, and enormously versatile, Papain is known for the several types of proteases active in a wide range of conditions. Papaya leaves and fruit have a long history of medicinal use in Central America and the Caribbean.*

Lipase
A class of enzymes that help break down fats into fatty acids. Lipases are found in humans, animals, plants and microbes. The fatty acids produced by lipase are used for the body's essential functions like energy, cell function, organ protection and nutrient absorption.*

Rutin
A bioflavonoid commonly found in plants, fruits and vegetables. Bioflavonoids are ubiquitous in plants and commonly consumed in the human diet through fruits, vegetables and herbs. Flavonoids like rutin have various biological activities and potential health benefits, including antioxidant, inflammation, cardioprotective and neuroprotective support.*

Amla
A nutrient-rich fruit native to India and Southeast Asia. Amla is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C, containing up to 600-700 mg per fruit, which is significantly more than oranges. Sour, bitter and astringent to taste, amla's numerous health benefits are hard to get by directly eating the fruit. Instead, it is commonly consumed pickled, candied, juiced, or as a powdered extract (like that used in supplements). Amla has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to support immune, digestive, and skin and hair health.*

Proteases
A class of enzymes that help break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Proteases are found in humans, animals, plants and microbes. Peptides and amino acids play an essential role in digestion, tissue building, energy metabolism, immune function, and the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters, which influence mood regulation and cognitive functions.*
Coenzyme q10
A fat-soluble vitamin-like compound known as ubiquinone, which is naturally present in every cellular membrane in the body. Co-enzyme Q10 plays a crucial role in the mitochondrial oxidative respiratory chain, aiding in the production of ATP, which is essential for energy transfer within cells.*
Magnesium
An ionic mineral that serves as a crucial co-factor in over 600 enzymatic reactions. Magnesium helps to regulate enzyme activity by maintaining proper enzyme structure and function.*
Frequently Asked Questions
Since most absorption occurs in the small intestine, the systemic enzymes must bypass the stomach to gain access there. If the enzymes are taken with food, they will likely begin working to break down your food within the stomach, rather than passing through to the small intestine. Taking systemic enzymes like Serracor-NK® with food will compromise their absorption, as well as their effectiveness.*
Yes! Experts know certain enzymes are delicate and susceptible to the harsh acidic conditions of the stomach. So, our researchers developed a cutting-edge delivery system to increase their efficacy: they applied a polymer called MAAC to both the serrapeptase and the nattokinase in SEBkinase®. MAAC is acid resistant, and helps protect SEBkinase® as it passes through the stomach acid. Once it reaches the basic conditions of the small intestine, the MAAC dissolves, delivering more active enzyme where it is most needed.*
No! At AST Enzymes, we use Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) for our acid-resistant polymer, which does not use or contain phthalates. Wondering if MAAC is ok to put in your body? Don't stress. MAAC is a phthalate-free, food-grade compound used for over 50 years and deemed safe by even the most strict food safety authorities.*
Regular, consistent use of systemic enzymes will provide the best results, however missed doses of
systemic enzymes do not have serious repercussions. Although symptoms alleviated by systemic enzyme therapy may resurface, getting back on track by remembering to take your next dose will suffice. There is also the option of incorporating another dose during the day. There is no need to “double up” on one dose. Also remember, systemic enzymes are best absorbed on an empty stomach.*
The use of Serracor-NK® has not been shown to exhibit detrimental effects, long term or short term. Minor side effects may vary. Gastrointestinal disturbances have been reported by a small percentage of new users, but once the dosage is adjusted, tolerance is maintained. Minor allergic reactions, like reddening of the skin, are also rare occurrences, and can be seen with extremely high doses. There are no known interactions with prescription or over the counter drugs while using systemic enzyme therapy. However, it is recommended that you consult with your physician about starting systemic
enzymes, particularly if you are on blood-thinning medications, or are pregnant or nursing.*
Systemic enzymes may be taken together, yielding desirable results, as long as they are taken on an empty stomach. In fact, it is often recommended that systemic enzymes be combined. Products like Serracor-NK® and Serrapeptase often have synergistic effects when taken together. This means that the separate products work together to produce advantageous results. By combining and enhancing the activity of the enzymes, their effects on supporting the body are more attainable.*
Although digestive and systemic enzymes do not have any negative interactions in terms of ingredients, they should not be taken at the same time. The purpose of digestive enzymes is to aid in digestion of specific foods, so taking them with food is an obvious recommendation. Because systemic enzymes require an empty stomach for maximum absorption, they must be taken separately from digestive enzymes. There are no adverse interactions between systemic and digestive enzymes, but they serve different purposes and thus should be taken as directed for best results.*
Real People, Real Reviews
Have been taking Serracor-NK for about 3 years now. Has definitely cut down on the excess fibrin and mucus. Can breathe so much better too. Will continue with this product indefinitely as it has greatly helped my breathing.

I’ve been using Serracor-NK for about 7 years now. The CoQ10 is great for energy and mental acuity! I’m pretty sure it’s the effect of the fibrin metabolism that supports my vision. I am 64 and still don’t wear glasses, for reading or otherwise. The magnesium support has a nice calming effect on the nerves, I find. I may get a cold every 5-6 years, but that’s it. I found out the hard way, by forgetting to pack my Serracor-NK for a trip, exactly what benefits I’m getting from this enzyme supplement. And I don’t want to be without it again! Thank you! It’s healthy in so many ways.
