What is a proteolytic enzyme?
Proteolytic enzymes are enzymes that digest protein. Some examples of proteolytic enzymes are serrapeptase (the active ingredient in SP-Zyme), protease, bromelain, and papain. Proteolytic enzymes are systemic enzymes that work throughout the entire body and perform jobs in most every system. They can act as both anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis agents. (Fibrosis refers to arterial plaque as well as other conditions such as fibrocystic breast disease).
