Can I safely resume use of Serrapeptase and other enzymes after Sculptra?

Question

Will use of serrapeptase and other enzymes interfere with the collagen creation process after receiving Sculptra in the face? I am unclear if the type of collagen produced is considered scar tissue and as I use serrapeptase for another health concern, I would like to know if after avoiding serrapeptase 1-2 weeks before and after sculptra injections, I can safely resume without hindering the results of the injections over time.

Upward of $60 Billion in revenue yearly, the supplement industry is based on fantasy and wish, with no science behind any of the statements of good health (note: the FDA did manage to stop companies from saying their product cures or prevents disease). In fact, when the scientific method is used, no supplements have managed to show superiority over placebo. Enzymes are proteins too, and the pH 1 in your stomach will rip it apart so that it can be absorbed in your bloodstream as amino acids with no enzymatic activity. No one needs Serrapeptase, but it also won't interfere with collagen production from Sculptra. As an aside, if it did, I would be concerned about all the other proteins it would be digesting that are necessary for life. Please stop wasting money.
