I found a homemade enteric coating. Naturally only food quality ingredients should be used. It consists of using shellac flakes dissolved in ethanol to coat a gel capsule with a sprayer. The shellac will dissolve in the alkaline conditions of the lower intestine but not the acidic stomach. Shellac apparently is not only a fine wood varnish but is non toxic as it is produced by a insect for cocooning and is used on supermarket fruit along with wax as well as the pharmacuetical industry.

You can use either but the enteric coated gets more to the intestines and into the blood stream where you want it. - Steve ________________________________ From: jessie70 [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 12:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: CS>Natto and Serrapeptase Steve have you heard of serrapeptase with enteric coating? Is it better digested in the intestines rather than breaking down in the stomach?

I was told Natto was good for removing misplaced tissue. It sounds like Serrapeptase is better for that purpose. Jess -----Original Message----- From: Norton, Steve [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2008 9:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: CS>Natto and Serrapeptase Jessie, Natto reduces blood pressure by thinning the blood. Serrapeptase does not directly reduce blood pressure. But if you have increased blood pressure caused by arterial plaque reducing blood flow, then after the Serrapeptase has had enough time to remove plaque and increase blood flow you should see a reduction in blood pressure. - Steve
