Serrapeptase - Proteolytic Enzyme

Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme, meaning it breaks down proteins. It can thin fluids from injury and inflamed tissue and facilitate elimination. It breaks down excessive fibrin formed at the site of an injury or concussion


Serrapeptase only dissolves
nonliving material. Blood clots, cysts, and arterial plaque are gradually eliminated. Serrapeptase literally dissolves inflammation! These conditions could be vastly improved by Serrapeptase:


  • Scarring
  • Lock jaw
  • Carpal Tunnel
  • Arteriolosclerosis
  • Chronic Bronchitis
  • Asthma and C.O.P.D
  • Deep vein thrombosis. 
  • Inner ear disturbances
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome 
  • Fibrocystic Breast Disease
  • Concussion and head injury
  • Some autoimmune disorders
  • Arthritis / Joint Disfigurement 

The important thing with serrapeptase is to take it on an empty stomach so it can scour the body seeking out inflammatory waste and break it down. 


According to natural health pioneer, Hanna Kroeger, heavy protein like meats, fish, dairy, eggs and soy, should be eaten no later than lunchtime.  It takes up to 8 hours for the liver to break them down into amino acids by which time the lymphatic system is at rest.  The aminos can be deposited in the least resistant (weakest) body tissue. We may have unwittingly set the stage for fostering chronic disease with the tradition of having our heaviest meal in the evening!


Check labels for contraindications and consult your pharmacist if taking medications.

Fiddlehead season is here! After a long winter, fiddlehead season has finally arrived. Not familiar with fiddleheads or just want to learn a bit more about them, and how to cook them safely? Keep reading! You may have seen fiddleheads in the wild and not even realized it. That's because they are the furled fronds of a fledgling fern! The fiddlehead is the spiral of the plant that would unroll into a new frond of the fern plant. They are harvested before they unfurl, early in the season. Only the fiddleheads from certain fern varieties are safe to consume. Fiddleheads should never be eaten raw and must be cooked a certain way to be safe to eat, so be sure to follow the instructions below. Fiddleheads have been part of traditional diets in Northern France since the Middle Ages, and amongst many North American Indigenous populations for centuries. They are also popular in Asian cuisine dishes like gulai pakis.

Most candy and processed food products aren't naturally made with bright colors. They achieve that color by using synthetic food dyes. But are they safe for you?

Small Changes with a Big Impact. April is Earth Month! With Earth Day coming up on April 22nd, we wanted to share some simple ways to make your home more eco-friendly. Of course, sustainability is top of mind this time of year - but our hope is that the awareness around sustainability and habits created during Earth Month will be continued on throughout the year. Not only do sustainable habits benefit the Earth and the ecosystems we inhabit, but they also improve our lives by reducing waste and toxins in our homes and communities, saving us money, and supporting a more circular economy. Below are some small changes you can make to your daily routines that result in a more eco-friendly home:
