Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · history · refresh · how to use this template) This article is biased and misleading. It offers no references or evidence to any and many claims it makes with respect to the efficacy of the enzyme and current mainstay treatment NSAIDs. The scant literature it does cite is somewhat credible, but the write-up itself seems to be more of a marketing pitch for the product. |

One wants to know what authorities justify the broad variety of benefits being claimed for serrapeptase. I searched "serrapeptase" specifically trying to discover any scientifically proven medical or health benefits.
consistent with the cavalier endorsement of this "proteolytic enzyme", the last sentence offers a dosage, i.e., one or two pills. the writer does not mention that pills (including serrapeptase) come in many strengths and sizes. indeed i know serrapeptase is available in 5, 10, 15, and 40 mg formulations. This is a single fact i know about serrapeptase. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hispanosuiza (talk • contribs) 01:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
I personally was looking for any information on this topic. I think it was scolarly enough to help me understand that this is an enzyme. With the information contained in this article, I am able to pursue other avenues of information. I think a reader would realize that this probably falls under the alternative medicine category despite reputable doctors using it. Most medicines are used in Europe and Asia long before the FDA allow American doctors to prescribe them to their patients. I don't think this article is misleading nor a sales pitch at all. A sales pitch would have had a link to one of the manufacturers or distributors such as NOW vitamins. This product is available in my local health food store, but there is relatively little about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.165.179.97 (talk) 07:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Since SerraPeptase is actually a brand name for the proteolytic enzyme serratiopeptidase should this page not redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serratiopeptidase and accurately refer to SerraPeptase as a brand name?Cordof3 (talk) 19:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC) cordof3
