Nattokinase, at a dose of 4000FUs, lowers BP quickly – especially if taken shortly before exercise. Aerobic exercise works best. Walking is a good example. In this video I demonstrate the BP lowering effects of nattokinase with jogging and sprinting, but I think walking for 45 minutes will have the desired effect.

So what is nattokinase? It’s an enzyme that is extracted from traditional Japanese soy food natto. The enzyme was discovered only recently by Dr Hiroyuki Sumi in 1980 at the University of Chicago.

So what is nattokinase so important? The body produces several enzymes that promote clot formation, but only one, plasmin, to dissolve them. Furthermore, levels of plasmin reduces with aging. The effect of nattokinase resembles that of plasmin. And it’s a fairly inexpensive supplement when compared to blood thinning drugs. Furthermore, it works even better than pharmaceutical drugs. Nattokinase does not inhibit body’s reaction to form new clots around a trauma, but pharmaceutical drugs will inhibit critical coagulation.

Nattokinase is a natural agent that thins and dissolves blood clots effectively, with relative safety, without side effects. It’s the Aspirin strategy without the pitfalls.

The traditional Japanese food Natto has been used safely for over 1000 years. The potent fibrinolytic enzyme nattokinase appears to be safe based upon the long-term traditional use of this food. Nattokinase can be used preventatively. It is a naturally occurring, food based dietary supplement that has demonstrated stability in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as to changes in pH and temperature.

Furthermore, regular use of nattokinase may help prevent your cognitive abilities as you age. Blood clots cause strokes and SENILITY.

Nattokinase can keep blood clots from forming or dissolve existing clots.

And it’s more effective than blood-thinning drugs.

Your blood needs to be just right – not too thick, not too thin.

The body makes enzymes that cause clotting so it doesn’t keep bleeding after surgery or injury. But the body makes only one primary enzyme to thin blood – plasmin. Nattokinase works a lot like plasmin – but doesn’t cause excessive bleeding like blood thinners, and doesn’t have side effects.

Thrombotic clogging of the cerebral blood vessels may be a cause of dementia. It has been estimated that sixty percent of senile dementia patients in Japan is caused by thrombus. Thrombotic diseases typically include cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, cardiac infarction and angina pectoris, and also include diseases caused by blood vessels with lowered flexibility, including senile dementia and diabetes (caused by pancreatic dysfunction). Nattokinase holds great promise to support such patients.

Scientists at Yonsei University in Korea tested 86 individuals aged 20 to 80 whose blood
pressure ranged from 130 to 159 mmHg. Each received either nattokinase at 2000 FU (fibrinolytic units) per capsule daily or a placebo. After eight weeks, those on nattokinase had significantly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The researchers conclude, “These findings suggest that increased intake of nattokinase may play an important role in preventing and treating hypertension.”

Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted from natto. One of nature’s most powerful blood thinners. It dissolves clots and prevents their formation in some cases. A Taiwanese study showed no adverse effect from two capsules of nattokinase (2000 FU per capsule) a day for two months.

It may help reduce blood pressure as thins blood. It dissolves fibrin (tiny fibers) that make up the meshwork of the blood clot. Or it may act like plasmin – the natural enzyme in human blood that maintains the right viscosity. The higher the dosage, the stronger the blood thinning effect, so need to be mindful of that.

A word of caution – combining nattokinase with warfarin, plavix, effient or other prescribed blood thinners; aspirin or any other herb or medicine that thins the blood or prevent blood clotting may have a dangerous additive effect and lead to excessive blood thinning.

Take nattokinase on an empty stomach.
