Natto-Serrazime™ by Designs for Health delivers two potent proteolytic enzymes, Nattozimes® and Serrazimes®, derived from the natural fungal sources Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus melleus.* Together, these enzymes support the breakdown and removal of damaged proteins and tissue that accumulate during the body’s natural response to physical trauma and stress.* Through these natural cleanup processes, Natto-Serrazime™ is formulated to support cardiovascular health, healthy circulation, and healthy inflammatory responses.*
Natto-Serrazime™ is specifically formulated to support cardiovascular health and healthy circulation.* The proteolytic enzymes Nattozimes® and Serrazimes® help support healthy blood flow by assisting the body’s natural breakdown and clearance of fibrous protein debris that can accumulate in and around blood vessels over time.*
What are the key benefits of Natto-Serrazime™?Natto-Serrazime™ by Designs for Health offers broad support for cardiovascular health, healthy circulation, and healthy inflammatory responses through its two proteolytic, or protein-clearing, enzymes: Nattozimes® and Serrazimes®.* These enzymes act as the body’s natural cleanup crew, helping break down and remove old proteins and cellular debris throughout the body.*
For cardiovascular health, the enzymes help support healthy blood flow by assisting in the breakdown of fibrous protein debris that can accumulate in and around blood vessels.* The formula also supports a healthy inflammatory response by assisting in the normal removal of proteins produced during the body’s natural healing process once recovery is underway.*
Taking Natto-Serrazime™ is simple and straightforward.* The recommended use is one capsule per day on an empty stomach, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.* Taking it on an empty stomach allows the proteolytic enzymes to be absorbed and work throughout the body, where they can support the body.*
Natto-Serrazime™ contains two active proteolytic, or protein-clearing, enzymes.* The first is Nattozimes® (129 mg, 4,516 FU), an exo/endo protease derived from the fungus Aspergillus oryzae.* The second is Serrazimes® (33 mg, 20,000 U), an exo/endo protease derived from the fungus Aspergillus melleus.* Together, these enzymes act as the body’s natural cleanup crew by breaking down proteins into smaller building blocks called amino acids so the body can recycle or remove them.*
With consistent use, Natto-Serrazime™ may help support healthy cardiovascular function, healthy circulation, healthy inflammatory response, and overall well-being.* These benefits are supported by its two proteolytic enzymes, Nattozimes® and Serrazimes®, which help the body break down and clear away old proteins and cellular debris that can accumulate over time in blood vessels and other tissues.*
Because this formula works by supporting the body’s natural protein-clearing processes, individual results may vary depending on each person’s health status and lifestyle factors.* For best results, Natto-Serrazime™ should be taken as directed, one capsule per day on an empty stomach.* Your healthcare practitioner can help tailor use to your individual needs and wellness goals.*
Natto-Serrazime™ is designed for daily use when taken as directed. The recommended use, as stated by Designs for Health, is one capsule per day on an empty stomach, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
As with any supplement, every person's health needs are different. Designs for Health recommends consulting with your healthcare practitioner about your specific circumstances and any questions you may have before taking this product. A qualified practitioner can help you determine whether Natto-Serrazime™ is the right fit for your individual health goals.*
Both Natto-Serrazime™ and standard digestive enzymes like Digestzymes™ contain enzymes that break down proteins, but they are designed for very different purposes and work in different ways.*
Natto-Serrazime™ is formulated for whole-body, or systemic, support.* Its two fungal-derived proteolytic enzymes, Nattozimes® and Serrazimes®, are designed to work beyond digestion.* When taken on an empty stomach, they are absorbed into the bloodstream and help clear old protein buildup and cellular debris that can accumulate in blood vessels and tissues throughout the body.* This is why Natto-Serrazime™ may support cardiovascular health, healthy circulation, and healthy inflammatory responses.*
Digestzymes™, by contrast, is formulated specifically for digestive support in the GI tract during meals.* It contains a broad blend of enzymes, including proteases, amylases, and lipase, along with betaine HCl to help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates from food.* It is intended to support healthy digestion and nutrient absorption and may be especially helpful for occasional gas, bloating, or fullness after eating.*
In short, Natto-Serrazime™ is designed to support the body’s natural protein-clearing processes throughout multiple body systems, while digestive enzyme formulas are designed primarily to help break down food in the gut.* Your healthcare practitioner can help determine which product, or combination of products, best fits your individual health needs.*

What This Product Is
Natto-Serrazime is a blend of two very potent proteolytic enzymes derived from the fungi Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus melleus. These enzymes have been used for joint, cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune support, as well as helping the body establish a healthy inflammatory response. Proteolytic enzymes are a special class of enzymes that break down proteins into individual amino acids, and they are found abundantly in nearly every body system.*
The body produces proteolytic enzymes to digest proteins in the gastrointestinal tract and promote digestive health. However, proteolytic enzymes are also derived from animal and plant sources (such as the fungus Aspergillus) and can help promote health throughout the entire body. Protein foods we consume are not the only proteins that need to be broken down; old, worn out cellular debris as well as proteins involved in the body’s response to trauma must be broken down for recycling or removal.*
Mechanism of Action
Healthy Inflammatory Process Support
The inflammatory process involves a community of proteins, known as inflammatory factors, working together in response to injury. Once the acute injury is healing, proteolytic enzymes help to clear away proteins involved in the immediate response and protective phase. Proteolytic enzymes can help maintain a healthy inflammatory response in the body to support proper healing and recovery.*
Cardiovascular and Circulatory Support
The heart and blood vessels are sensitive to injury from excessive pressure or the presence of fibrous debris, consisting in part of proteins that aggregate together and could potentially occlude or block blood vessels, hindering blood circulation. The enzymes in this product are especially effective in helping the body maintain a healthy blood flow that is free of fibrous debris.*
Joint, Immune, and Respiratory Health
Proteolytic enzymes help the body degrade extra scar tissue in joints (which is composed of proteins), supporting joint function and mobility. They assist the immune system in breaking down harmful proteins deposited by pathogenic organisms. The lungs are exposed to environmental toxins which may lead to scar tissue, extra mucus, and inflammatory responses; proteolytic enzymes may help keep the lungs clear and support respiratory function.*
Applications
- Individuals seeking joint health and mobility support through protein debris clearance*
- Those wanting cardiovascular health support through healthy blood flow maintenance*
- Individuals looking for immune function support through pathogenic protein breakdown*
- Those seeking respiratory health and clear breathing support*
- Athletes wanting healthy inflammatory response support for recovery*

Product Questions
How do proteolytic enzymes differ from digestive enzymes?
While both are enzymes, proteolytic enzymes specifically break down proteins and can function both in the digestive tract and systemically throughout the body. When taken with food, they support protein digestion. When taken between meals, they can work systemically to break down inflammatory proteins, fibrous debris, scar tissue, and pathogenic proteins in joints, blood vessels, lungs, and other tissues for comprehensive health support.*
Why are fungal-derived proteolytic enzymes used?
The proteolytic enzymes in Natto-Serrazime are derived from Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus melleus, fungi that produce very potent protein-breaking enzymes. These fungal-derived enzymes are especially effective at helping the body maintain healthy blood flow by clearing fibrous debris, supporting joint mobility by degrading excess scar tissue, and assisting immune function by breaking down harmful proteins.*
Who may benefit most from Natto-Serrazime?
Individuals seeking joint health and improved mobility, those wanting cardiovascular support through healthy blood flow and fibrous debris clearance, people needing respiratory health support for clear breathing, those seeking immune function support, and anyone wanting a healthy inflammatory response for recovery from exercise or daily physical stress.*
