SerraDefend: Systemic & Digestive Enzymes for Candida
When fighting a Candida overgrowth, one of the biggest problems that your immune system faces is biofilms.
A biofilm is a protective matrix created by organisms like Candida albicans. Pathogenic organisms like Candida use biofilms to hide from your immune system.
Biofilms can be tough to break down, even with our recommended combination of probiotics and antifungals. This is especially true for longer-term cases of Candida.
If you can’t break down that biofilm, fighting Candida becomes much more difficult.
Enzymes are a tool that can help to break down those Candida biofilms more quickly.
SerraDefend is the first formula that contains 9 of these biofilm-busting enzymes. We chose them for their ability to disrupt biofilms and fight Candida overgrowth. Let’s take a closer look!

The Best Enzymes For Candida
There are two sets of enzymes that are particularly helpful for Candida.
The first is systemic enzymes. These enzymes don’t just help with digestion; they also assist with other functions around your body. They include Serrapeptase and Nattokinase.
The second is digestive enzymes. These include protease, amylase, and cellulase. There are some digestive enzymes, like chitosanase and beta-glucanase, that can break down yeast cell walls and biofilms.
Serrapeptase
This is a proteolytic, systemic enzyme that is commonly used for relief from mild joint pain and inflammation.
Serrapeptase has also been shown to break down and dissolve biofilms, and can support healthy, balanced gut flora.
Serrapeptase is easily destroyed and deactivated by your stomach acid. The serrapeptase in SerraDefend is enteric-coated to ensure this doesn’t happen.
Nattokinase
This is a fibrinolytic systemic enzyme that promotes normal healing and repair in the human body. It is most commonly used to promote healthy circulation.
Nattokinase can also assist your body in breaking down biofilms and supporting healthy digestion.
Chitosanase
This is an enzyme that breaks down chitosan, a key building block in yeast cell walls. Chitosanase has the unique ability to break down these yeast cell walls by helping your body to dissolve the chitosan.
Beta-glucanase
Beta-glucanase is an enzyme that breaks down the glycosidic bonds within beta-glucans. These glucans form up to 60% of the cell walls and biofilms of many microorganisms, include Candida yeast cells. Beta-glucanase has been scientifically proven to disrupt biofilm formation.
Cellulase
Cellulase is one of the only digestive enzymes that your body does not produce by itself, so you need to get it from food or supplements. Cellulase allows your body to more efficiently break down cellulose in yeast cell walls, and it has also been shown to inhibit biofilm formation.
Hemicellulase
This is an enzyme that breaks down substances closely related to cellulase, like galactans, xylans, mannans, and arabans, which are also components of yeast cell walls.
Amylase
Amylase is a digestive enzyme that assists your body in breaking down starches. It is naturally present in your saliva, promotes healthy digestion of carbohydrates, and has been shown to inhibit biofilm formation in yeast and other microorganisms.
Glucoamylase
Glucoamylase is another digestive enzyme that helps us to break down starches, in this case the glucosidic linkages that hold the starches together. It can assist in healthy digestion and help to relieve digestive upset.
Protease
Proteases are a group of enzymes that help to break down proteins and promote healthy digestion. In the gut, they break down proteins into amino acids that are easily absorbed and play many critical roles in your body.
How To Take SerraDefend
To get the most out of these systemic and digestive enzymes, try the following tips:
- Take one capsule per day
Each easy-to-swallow capsule contains a powerful dose of the 9 systemic and digestive enzymes - Take SerraDefend away from food
To get the most anti-inflammatory and biofilm-busting benefit from SerraDefend, take it at least 30 minutes away from a meal. - It works well with probiotics and antifungals
You can take SerraDefend if you are already taking a probiotic and antifungal. The probiotic and antifungal are generally taken with food, while SerraDefend is taken between meals.
