Nattokinase: Your Natural Ally for Heart Health

Have you heard of the “not invented here” syndrome? US doctors are particularly engrained in this philosophy, and often ignore tried-and-true methods just because they originated elsewhere. Nattokinase is a wonderful example of that. This cheese-like breakfast food has been eaten as a breakfast dish in Asia for over 1,000 years, and it has long been known for its cardiovascular benefits.

Nattokinase supports normal blood flow, circulation, and blood pressure levels. Its efficacy extends to addressing cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, and stroke, primarily through its ability to thin the blood and dissolve blood clots.

Impressive Clinical Findings

Clinical research backs the benefits of nattokinase, showing its ability to block the enzymes that restrict arterial dilation, thus contributing to healthy blood pressure, underscoring the enzyme’s potential in comprehensive cardiovascular care.  This enzyme is known to be a very strong fibrinolytic (anti-clotting), anti-inflammatory and blood thinner. It is comparative to aspirin without the dangerous side effects.  Additionally, nattokinase has been shown effective in destroying the toxic amyloid matter associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Nattokinase works so effectively because it not only dissolves existing blood clots and fibrin, but also enhances the body’s production of proteins that break down clots (called fibrolytic agents), namely plasmin and urokinase.  Researchers have shown that nattokinase is 4 times as potent as plasmin and is significantly better than any prescription medication. It works for longer periods of time without any of the dangerous side effects associated with prescription meds like warfarin (Coumadin).  Discuss this with your physician.

A Novel Approach to Vaccine-Related Concerns

In the context of COVID-19, nattokinase has shown promise in degrading the spike protein associated with the virus, offering a potential way to mitigate its effects. This discovery aligns with the ongoing need to address the adverse effects associated with COVID and the COVID-19 vaccine, positioning nattokinase as a valuable tool to address these challenges.

The Legacy and Future of Nattokinase

With centuries of use in Japanese natural medicine, modern recognition of the health benefits of nattokinase is a significant milestone. Health professionals are taking notice, and you can, too.

Overall, nattokinase represents a natural, effective solution for managing cardiovascular health and quite possibly, a way to mitigate some of the effects of COVID-19 vaccines.
