I have been recommending Serrapeptase for cleaning out the arteries and to remove and prevent blood clots from forming. Recently I have found out that according to Dr. Joseph Mercola, Nattokinase removes blood clots thirty times faster and more efficiently than Serrapeptase!
The best quality one I have found is from my favourite brand pictured above!
(If the product above does not come up, just go to Products A-Z and look for Nattokinase under N).
As I have said before, everyone over the age of 50 should take at least one course of these for a good clear out of any plaque in their arteries, as well as any other dead fibrous tissue that needs to be removed from the body.
Nattokinase is derived from a Japanese food called Natto, produced during soybean fermentation and works in several ways at once. It cuts apart fibrin directly, boosting plasmin, the body's main clot dissolving enzyme and strengthening anti-clotting defences.
Fibrin is caused by protein strands that hold a clot together and Nattokinase directly cuts it apart.
Repeat blood clotting drives up atherosclerotic plaque formation in the arteries, eventually narrowing them. If a large clot forms, this will block blood flow and then cause a stroke or heart attack. Blood clotting is the basic underlying cause of heart disease.
Nattokinase can help reduce the build up of persistent fibrin by supporting clot breakdown and strengthening your natural anti-clot systems.
Nattokinase should be taken on an empty stomach about an hour or two before a meal.
A double blind placebo controlled study on Nattokinase was published in the Scientific Reports by men taking a 2,000 FU capsule with significant results and no negative side effects.
Read the whole article by Dr. Mercola HERE. He encourages people to address the root cause of blood clotting by eating a healthy diet.
Please note that Nattokinase may be contraindicated for blood thinning medicines.
Dr. Mercola also mentions Lumbrokinase, which is a group of highly potent fibrinolytic enzymes derived from earthworms, as being even more powerful than Nattokinase! In his article he says it can be very good for Lyme Disease sufferers.
