SerraDefend
SerraDefend by Balance One is a Vitamins & Minerals supplement featuring a blend of nine enzymes, including Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, and Protease. While the product lists several enzymes, such as Chitosanase at 50mg, the specific activity units or individual dosages for most enzymes are not provided, making it challenging to assess clinical efficacy. This product has an N+ Score of 36 and an 'F' grade, placing it in the poor tier, largely due to the lack of transparent dosing for its enzyme complex. Without clear dosage information for each enzyme, it is difficult to determine if they are present at levels supported by research. It may appeal to those interested in enzyme blends, but with caveats regarding transparency.
