I know what you mean. I'm the same way. Even though a product seems overpriced in my mind, truth be told, I really don't know wether it's worth the price or not until I've actually used the product. Perhaps, where we differ, is that I'm willing to pay the price to find out. If I'm not pleased with the results, I simply never buy it again. If I don't take that risk, I'll never know for sure. This one is worth the price... to me anyway. I've orderd 4 bottles several times. A good question to ask yourself is this: Is it worth risking 30 bucks to possibly find a product that might really improve my health? Also remember that the copay for just one visit to a doctor is probably $30 or maybe even more. ( I don't know the actual copay because I avoid doctor like the plague. )

You are so right!! I guess since you've tried it and it works so well for you - I could say you have done the trial for the rest of us - then it's certainly safe to risk the $30. I pay more than that for supplements for my doggies. and they are certainly worth it even if they can't tell me whether it works! What's wrong with this picture?? I won't cut corners on them but I will for myself. Gotta keep those priorities straight, you know.

Yep, the copay will be $30 next year, and the doctor can't do anything for me anyway (except give me more Rx), so I think I'll try the supplement. Do you think one month's supply will tell me whether it works for me?

I don't really know. Initially I took Serrapeptase ( got a 30 tab bottle of a much more expensive brand at the local health food store ) to help reduce toothache pain so that I could stop the Ibuprophen crap. It didn't do anything noticable for the toothache, but it cleared up my sinuses overnight. Then I did some internet research and came across the company that I linked to. Even so, my first order from them was for just one bottle....to limit my risk. I hate wasting money!

Cherries/cherry juice is supposed to decrease inflammation.

I know this is an old 11yr thread, but is Serrapeptase still effective and taken nowdays? I have been taken turmeric, but still looking for alternatives.

Serrapeptase is good. I also like krill oil, astaxanthin (found in krill oil too), and cod liver oil for reducing inflammation.

Thanks for the other alternatives. What also got me excited was that the other poster mentioned helping with sinus issues. I've always had some nasal blockage when i sleep at night and always wake up blowing my nose when i wake up...it's been tough not getting really good sleep during my adult life.. thus, seeing the post got me bit excited...lol

You may also want to look into the absorption of turmeric. For example, forms that are hydro-soluble absorb better.
