- I talk about K2 and Heart, and the evidence supporting its use. At the end I describe Nattokinase dosing and how I would consider using it in my practice.
I had a large blood clot after have hip replacement surgery. My Doctor wanted to put me on Warfarin or Xeralto and I refused as they do not dissolve clots. The fatal side effects of these drugs just aren't worth the risk. I researched and found Nattokinase and started taking 2000FU per day. I had another doppler about 6 weeks after I started taking Nattokinase and there was absolutely no sign of a clot. my doctor said that a clot normally dissolves after 3 months, at SIX weeks it was gone and may have dissolved earlier I don't know. I have been taking it ever since in the hope it may prevent a stroke by dissolving clots as they form. I have been taking it for FIVE years now with no adverse side effects
Wow oz4mee, that is a good result for you! Hard to argue with success! Best wishes and thanks for posting.
What brand did you use? And what amount?
Great stuff. As a suggestion wash it down with a small cup of pomegranate juice.
Yep I have been on it for 4 months, it's keeping me going.
@@nerychristianbrand name AOR, I buy it online .
Bear in mind that the drug industry and many doctors are worried that Nattokinase may really be so effective and so cheap and there is will be no need for those very expensive drugs and hospitalization. Remember that doctors are not taught nutrition as a preventive medicine and you have to ask why?.
Agreed. Everyone in any type of business, profession, industry, etc. comes at it with a sales pitch.
How to stay healthy despite your doctor.
Medical doctors are great at treating diseases jjust not prevention of diseases. It's not one or the other but you can use them complementary
You got that right!!!
Alreed, like Ivermectine for covid, cancer-treatment
Animals must be thinking wow humans sure get sick and need lots of drugs
I was having a lot of issues with high BP and HR... I was in the ER hundreds of times over the past 10 years. They kept telling me I had anxiety and hypertension... I ended up having a myocardial infarction.... After that I ended up with a condition that caused my heart to race anytime I wasn't laying down... Just using the bathroom would keeo my HR in the danger for hours!! I got worse everyday until I was bedridden.... I found Nattokinase and it helped but it wasnt enough.... I did more research and found serrapeptase.... After extensive reseaech I decided to start taking natto-serra a combo of tbe two.... IT SAVED MY LIFE!!!!
do you still take aspirin blood thinner?
Were you vaxxed?
WoW!
Have been taking Serrapeptase for around a month now. Just started (like today) to add Nattokinase along with it since I heard they both synergistically work together. Glad I came upon your entry; adds more credence to what I've already came across. Do have high bp and refuse to take pharmaceuticals. Am also taking an herb happily named Blood Pressure Support (taking that for over 8 months now). Only dropped the high side of my BP around 10 points (and trust me, I need to have a lot more dropped). lol
Have to admit, even with that, I've been feeling much better. Hopefully, in conjunction with serra-natto combo, I'll be well on my way to a healthier BP. :)
Omg can u walk again
I had a major heart attack six years ago. And as a result I suffer for some level of heart failure. My ejection fraction dropped from 45 to 30/35 over the last two years. My BNP once I dropped salt (my sodium intake is under 500 mg per day) went from 700 down to 245/375 but never lower. Out of desperation I started taking Natokinase. My dosage is 100 mg (2,000 FU) three times a day. I have no idea what I expected. After three months of use my BNP fell to 48. My doctor thought this must be a lab error and had the test repeated. The result of the 2nd BNP was 52. I then had an echo done and my ejection fraction jumped to 55. Since my heart attack my highest ejection fraction was 45. My doctor found all this hard to believe. Frankly, I can't explain it. The only thing I did differently was to take the Natokinase. I'll continue using this stuff and see if I can get off my b/p meds.
what brand are you using?
I suffered 20% heart damage from a heart attack in 2009. After being put on statins I was advised by a friend (Pharmacist) to immdediately start on CoQ10 ( CoEnzyme Q10) as statins leach it from the body and it's an importent Enzyme which assists the body to repair muscle, and the heart IS A MUSCLE. My friend also advised me that the heart CAN in fact repair itself, but very slowly ( 2% per year). I stopped the statins after 6 months as it gave me serious side effects, but continued with the CoQ10, each annual checkup I had showed the heart damage until 2018 when tests didn't show damage. I have continued with it on a daily basis, and feel great.
@wyattfamily8997 Be cautious to get CoQ10 without polysorbate inside as a filler. Also if you can combine the CoQ10 with AC11(more powerful than cats claw) then they work synergistically and may even reverse your damage at a much faster rate. However, AC11 is really difficult to find
@@user-Red5hield-exp0ser Hi! I take Co-Q10, vitamin b complex, glutathione among other things because of Afib. What are the benefits of taking Q10 with AC11 and what are the precautions one have to take if you take Q10 without AC11? You know?
I’m also considering stopping with anti coagulants and just overlap it with nattokinase but don’t know if that could be dangerous in case I dislodge a clot that I don’t know of..😨
With that said..after I’ve been taking anticoagulants for 9-10 months, the chances of a blood-clot would be small I guess…🤷🏻♂️
Never heard of this fr heart failure. However, your results sure sound promising. It's been one year latr how is your bno and eject fraction numbers looking on more recent labs ? What does are you doing and are you doing any supplements or prescribed meds like entresto etc.
My husband has taken nattokinase to resolve superficial blood clots in his leg with complete success.
MORE DETAIL PLEASE??
@@DivineMisterAdVentures
Before he retired he occasionally got blood clots in his right leg that were very painful. Ultrasound confirmed their presence. Instead of taking a pharmaceutical he took nattokinase and they resolved within two months.
@@earlinejs if he ever has short breath . Check lungs for clots also.
Earline, at what dosage and how often, and for long before he had results? I have the same issue. Thanks.
@@dorothybrown8859
@4000 to 8000 FUs per day for a month or two months. If the blood clots are causing pain you’ll be able to tell by the reduction in pain that it’s working. Continue after the pain is gone for a couple weeks then lower to a maintenance dosage of 2000 FUs per day.
Thank you for your work. Been taking lisinopril for 5 years or more. I've been supplementing nattokinase, (with Serra peptase). About 2000 units a day. Still evaluating effectiveness. It does change mucus consistency, after consumption, although I consume it during my morning water drinking time. I find it's important, to not combine it with food , to avoid an upset stomach ( an hour or two, before breakfast). Thank you very much for your research. I appreciate it.
what reason make you take lisinopril? im on it for ckd. 3a
Interesting to note the studies were all done with very low doses. Almost like the Pharmaceutical backed trials wanted it to fail. I wonder why 😮
Same thing with Vit C studies. Instead of using high dose IV, they used low dose oral and said they could not replicate the original results.
Yes, they often use either a very low dose to minimize benefit, or an insanely high dose to bring up 'safety concerns'...
Or they take a supplement people take orally, concentrate it, inject it into a poor animals brain and then ooooh it creates brain lesions we better ban it!
Its disgusting the harm they cause to so many people this way, just to increase their own profits.
@@moocrazytn Yep and now vitamin d
Thanks for the info Nattokinase. looking up the research papers at NIH as we speak. I take about 800mg of turmeric a day and a teaspoon of cod liver oil. done it for years, and I am old as dirt but still standing upright and taking in nutrition. :)
Thanks for the skeptical review instead of a blatant sales pitch. I started taking 1/16th tsp per day in my morning coffee drink (which, according to some, would negate its effects) for the usual anti-clotting and bone health benefits. No test results to verify any changes on those fronts yet. However, what I DID notice is that minor cuts that would have taken 10-20 minutes of firm pressure and probable bandaging (over the past 50 years) now take 1-2 SECONDS of mild pressure to stop bleeding. Shocking! Don't know how to reconcile that with clot busting. The only other effect I've noticed is that my daily hair loss is down over 80% from previously. Weird!
I'm updating my experience. After several weeks of taking this, I became progressively weaker. To the point it would take me several minutes, with extreme difficulty, to get up from a short stool, starting by getting on the floor on all fours. For some reason, I suspected this and quit taking it immediately. Within a day or so, I started regaining my strength. Could it all be a coincidence? Sure, but who knows? I did notice when I got a cut on my finger a few weeks later, it bled normally, as in the past. No more thick blood, which probably caused the weakness. Your results may vary, of course. Still a mystery to me.
Thank you for sharing what you know! It does help to read the comments!👍
These studies you cite are using a rather low dose of nattokinase. I’ve heard of studies using 20K nattokinase, and then also taking serrapeptase with it, with very positive benefits, and no side effects. I’m concerned that the medical system will regard this low dosage, one supplement approach as sufficient research, and consider the case closed. I have been taking a high quality lumbrokinase supplement daily for 3 years, and it’s definitely, though slowly, removed a lot of scar tissue that was creating chronic pain issues, so its definitely dissolving fibrin. I actually started taking lumbrokinase to deal with chronic bladder infections to stop biofilms from protecting invasive bacteria. I didn’t realize at the time I would experience other benefits as well.
You are quite brave professionally to talk about natto, K2, and nattokinase. In 2003, I started with nattokinase, added K2, when both hips began to hurt, then switched to natto 50 grams daily as I added to my knowledge. The natto was way more effective than the other two in pill form. The hip pain is gone. Still, I learned some new things today from you. Thanks
You mean natto in food form is better than nattokinase the pill form?
@@00BeesKnees00
That's what @Still Learning is saying yes.
Though it doesn't mean that the other two are ineffective .
A case is just that, a case.
There are many others.
Great information, as always. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Really straight forward. And good explanation on the abstracts that are online.
Thanks for watching T salas!
Thanks for the helpful and objective video. I’m thinking of trying a capsule a day to help prevent atherosclerosis in my future. It seems that more studies are definitely required on humans but it doesn’t look like a major risk to take as a possible preventive measure.
Look into the multi studies on lumbrokinase in China
One of my last problems to get better when I started fasting, loosing weight then keto was my BP. I’ve known I’ve had thick blood for many years. Every time I would prick my finger for a BG test, a perfect spherical blood drop would form. And I would clot easily. But after starting K2, my BP finally came down to normal range. And when I prick my finger no more spherical drop, it is diffused puddle. (Happy Days) I noticed the veins in the whites of my eyes became more pronounced. My Cold sensitivity in my teeth went away. Also my performance between the sheets greatly improved.
Many other improvements too because I was (am) very unhealthy.
I now also take Neto kinase in addition to K2-MK7 and D3.
I’m 97% carnivore now. And I love it.
Still alive?
Do you nattokinase in dietary form or supplement form along with k2+d3 ? Pls reply. My husband taking k2 400 mcg,vit e 300 and magnesium glycinate 400 . We need to lower his high bp , diastolic is 100. Supplements have helped it to go down within weeks but fluctuates 92to 96 sometimes to 99.
How long did you take it before you saw these results?
@@MiteshDamania -
One or two months.
Search CZcams for:
“high intensity health blood viscosity”
There’s more information out there too.
Hi. Did you mean your eyes got more red when you mentioned the veins got more pronounced?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I just subscribed.
Handy Hint: LDL cholesterol is not the enemy. It’s sLDL (small particle LDL) that causes inflammation and therefore arteriosclerosis. Without this distinction the studies you stated seem irrelevant, except maybe the carotid thickness.
Look up the Pauling-Rath protocol for heart disease.
Very informative. Thank you.
You have to eat natto the way Japanese eat them to enjoy. We eat this for breakfast over a newly cooked rice with a little soy sauce, Japanese mustard (karashi) and some chopped green onions. I love it also without rice with all the toppings I mentioned above. And of course, don’t forget a bowl of simple miso soup. 😊
Are there any Japanese studies of natto and nattokinase? I wonder if you would love natto without all of the toppings to kill the awful taste. 😂
Where do you buy natto in the USA. I enjoyed eating natto when I was in Okinawa.
@hanochcohen2243 Asian market in the freezers section and easy to make homemade natto 😋
Waiting on USC’s study on nattokinase taking K2 and niacin for now did get red yeast rice although I know it’s technically a statin. Older friend of mine reported chest pain before taking Nattokinase never took his doctors statin and after about 3 months his problem disappeared hasn’t changed his diet but has started walking every other day?
We would like to see an update on these studies as this video was posted in 2019. THANKS. :)
Wow after reading the comments, it reminds me of when Dr. Zach Bush said he started trusting and believing what his patients were telling him vs. trusting his extreme medical knowledge. Thanks for keeping the comments available. "The more I learn, the less I know," ;D
Found 1 study on CZcams: czcams.com/video/ug0zwgf4bV0/video.html
Not only a warm, compassionate Dr but quite handsome and likable too! Your patients must really like you! 🙏
Thanks for watching John!
@@CardioGauge your patients are extremely lucky.....
This video is a couple of years old and more studies have been done. I take 6000f/u in the morning and at night. My blood pressure came down and a blood clot that wouldn’t go away finally disappeared. Studies I have read have tested up to 9 grams a day with no side affects, I also take 500-1000mcg of K2-mk7 with D3. 100mcg k2-mk7 for every 1000iu of D3.
Thanks for your comment Copisetic 1
Wow. Do you split the dose 3000fu am and 3000fu pm or do you take 6000 am and another 6000fu pm? I find when I take 4,000fu at 6am then fast until 12pm, my cold feet goes away.
@@RachelReaiah - I take 10,800fu first thing in the morning. Haven't thought or tried to double dose, but the higher ranges work a lot better...
Did you ever follow up with the study from SoCAL? This study definitely should have been completed by now.
@2:32 - I was nearly asleep until this caught my attention. I always thought it stood for Felix Unger 🙂
Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching, and Happy New Year. Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner, CZcams is pretty fickle about which comments it shows me!
Enjoy your videos on various supplements (I have been taking Vit D3 w/K2 for several years now. Just started taking Nattokinase recently.
By the way, it's been 3 years. Any results forthcoming on the Nattokinase study you referred to near the end of your presentation?
Thanks for the info.
I am wondering if it would help venous insufficiency? It seems to offer some benefit in that situation from what I can tell. Thank you
Hi is only 1 way of taking Natto... Is whit empty stomach of 2 hr.. Whit water and wait 2 hour to take any digestion food.... I do perpetually whit serrapeptase .. My legs and my feet now is helty ... No amputation because of poor diabetic circulation ..
I've taken extremely high doses of lumbrokinase, nattokinase and serrapeptaese with lots of k2. My blood pressure went from walking around everyday in literally stroke territory to normal in about a year and a half. I spent about $10 bucks a day mostly doublewoods and thorne and swanson when they had sales. My akin did get a bit dry at times and now my blood pressure is lower, it's weird that I don't get agitated as a side effect, stress is very much lower as a side effect.
This study should have completed by now. It would be great to find out what the results were!
I started taking it to see if it would lower my LDL, but the bottle says to take it on an empty stomach, but then I’ve been reading other articles that say to take it with food, what do you think?
Hello Dr. do you think Natto could help cardiomyopathy due to viral attack..now taking Bisoprolol 7.5mg heart was down to 30% back up to 60% and I’m vegan trying to get off the beta blocker..thank you
Hi doctor! I dont have any clots (yet), and my husband has. He wants to try natto. Am I allowed to take it as a preventive measure?
#CardioGauge
Hello thank you for uploading this video. Question for you, can I take nattokinase if I suffer from pvcs and mild mitral regurgitation?
objective, professional and intelligent. thank you!
Hi! I’m a huge fan of yours. May I know if is it okay for a pregnant woman to drink Nattokinase?
Just curious if Nattokinase contains vitamin K2 since k2 is also found in natto? Or what is the difference in vitamin K2 derived from natto verse nattokinase? How are they different?
From what I learned, there is K2 in the Nato but not in the Nattokinase supplements.
I was getting borderline high BP. I started taking NK and K2. After two weeks my BP is normal and I feel much better.
Thanks a million
I am taking a combination of nattokinase 90mg 20.000 FU/g and 900 mg Crataegus oxyacantha Extract per day since 10 years., besides my medication. My bloodcloth did not change to the worse and my bloodpressure is under good control. What changed ? I need lesser medication.
I am diabetic and had a stroke over a year ago , take daily medication including baby aspirin , would taking Natto be a good supplement for me and if so in what dosage?
3:19 and 3:45 I'm confused- what's the difference between plaque "size" and plaque "thickness?"
I have atherosclerosis, will it help ? It seems like it does & I take zero meds for any other reason.
interesting , i take lisonopril 10mg wanted get rid of it, looks by video simlar? im on ckd 3a so wondering it helps for protein leak.
Works for my husband on clotting. You are a Big Pharma doc.
Would this food help or hinder a persons health if that person has low platelets?
I wonder if we are already taking blood pressure medicine with a Nattokinase interfere with that?
.......any dealings with Lumbrokinase ?
So to paraphrase what thi doctor said, a guy once took Nattokinase in place of pharmaceutical Warfarin, but it didn't work and the guy ended up with a clot that required surgery 1:28 so don't take it... but also, don't take it because there are saftey concerns that Nattokinase may cause serious anticlotting effects which could "make your blood to thin" 5:22 ... hmm... which is it? It doesn't work as an anticlotting agent, or, it is dangerou because it works as an anticloting agent... you can't have it both ways, doc.
If I take Nattokinase as a preventative measure, would stopping it actually encourage coagulation? I guess I'm wondering if the body gets so dependent on it (whether or not there was anything wrong to be begin with) that it creates a lower threshold for the formations of clots or arteries to narrow once the supplement is no longer taken. Thanks for the video
It’s a protein eating enzyme so no
It depends on your diet.
Do you have a video about Serrapeptase?
Thank you doc! good report, to the point, very helpful.
Thanks for watching, Joe!
Well what about Lumbrokinase?
Okay so the person clotted by taking Nattokinase vs pharmacy drug. Okay so did they confirm he took it on an empty stomach? Did they confirm the brand of nattokinase he used and it’s effectiveness? Did they confirm his water intake?
You know all this doctors get paid by Pharma .
Hello Doctor, I have had essential thrombositomy for 13 years.
A question could Nattokinase help me?
It is possible that it could help you. It will not dissolve all clots, however.
More great info as always. Good to see you again
Thanks Bart!!
Im taking bergerine k2, e ,and fish oil 3 and cranberry ans cranberry coq10 gummies all in supplements Just wondering if theres a potential to bottom out vital signs i guess ill start feeling lightheaded if im over consuming and have time to get to er just dont want a brain bleed
I don't really know if it is a placebo effect, but I do feel better after I take Nattokinase for my symptoms. It is defiantly helping somehow...
So because in this study, natto out performed the drug simvastatin at reducing plaque size you just assume it is to good to be true? Would you of said anything if this study that you reference had shown the opposite to be true? Is it of your opinion that drugs are superior to anything natural at healing the body?
Thanks for your questions Scott. My point is that nattokinase is not well proven to decrease atherosclerosis. The only study that shows that is the one i Mentioned in the video. They report a decrease in plaque size of 36%. I don't know what they are referring to when they state plaque size. I know what percent narrowing is, and what plaque volume is, but I don't know what plaque size is. Eating a whole food plant-based diet can decrease plaque volume by 4% over two years. It seems unlikely that taking nattokinase will decrease plaque volume by 36% over 1/2 a year, when eating a whole food plant-based diet decreases plaque volume 4% over 2 years. So my comment that the study seems too good to be true does not relate to a comparison to statin studies, but rather when I compare the results of the nattokinase study to those of studies of the whole food plant-based diet. Eating healthy and Exercising are more important than medications and supplements, in general, as it relates to heart health. For people at high risk of having a heart attack or stroke, statins can play a role in prevention, But I agree with you that a healthy lifestyle trumps statins, typically.
@@CardioGauge thanks doc , that sounds fair enough for me
@@CardioGauge With respect Doctor. You favour a plant based diet. You forget that most people that are vegetarians and especially vegan avoid or minimise industrialised commercial foods. They often incorporate other healthy lifestyle choice practices as well. This is called a healthy user bias. Most meat eaters, (but not all) especially men like i did, pursue other unhealthy lifestyle habits. As far as your plant based theory goes, you must remember that up till the early 1900's most western type nations ate meats, eggs and dairy depending on affordability and the fats came from animals which were highly saturated (due to natural feeds) Heart diseases, cancers, diabetes and various autoimmune disease very low. This first recorded blocked arteries was around 1910 in the US despite high saturated fat and sugar consumption. Around this time the early cheap cottonseed oils and the "heart healthy" artificial trans fat laden margarines that some people started consuming around WW1 due to poverty conditions. Then in the early 1940's pigs and chickens were fed a diet of soy, corn, grains, seeds etc to fatten them. Not only do these animals accumulate high linoleic acid in their fats, (including egg yolks) excess phosphates as well the grain's and soy's inhibitors but also the seed's toxic defence chemical creating inflammatory aldehydes that lower the immunity.
And just Why to you think there are limited studies?? One Guess! 💰😂
@@fredjones9853 Follow the money. There never will be any significant studies. If a drug company could patent Nattokinase there would be many studies showing it was wonderful.
Well, from my own experience.. it helps a lot for those with sedentary lifestyle. No hemorrhoids problem, my legs feel lighter, with the cold it helps a lot with cold feet.. dono.. i just can't live without this.. I'm vaccinated btw.. probably with heart issues

2019! I hope there are more positive studies now.
Any update on Nattokinise?
I'm not at all surprised by the scenario with the artificial heart valve, my understanding of the nattokinase action is with the endothelium.
Should Nattokinase been taken with Serrapeptase to fully get rid of the blood clots?
I have understood from multiple sources that serrapeptase should always be taken on an empty stomach. Serrapeptase can "eat up" everything and leave other supplements useless if consumed simultaneously. I take serrapeptase on an empty stomach and wait for an hour before having breakfast. In the evening, I take my nattokinase with dinner and other vitamins.
I'm now eating "Natto" 2 to 3 times a day. I feel better and my blood pressure is more stable! Thank you so much for your Video's about "Natto". I also take K2 daily which I get at Costco. I purchase "Natto" at an ASIAN GROCERY store in the frozen section.
Is Natto fermented?
@@ClayMationNation yes, Natto is fermented
Is it gross to eat natto?
@@alireid5874
Matter of taste as with many foods.
It does have a 'particular' taste.
Most I know find it revolting haha.
I do not think it's that bad. But it ain't no French fries with ketchup either.
I tried the frozen natto a few times, but between the high cost (from Japan) and the need to freeze till eating, this is when a capsule is great. My only concern, and I have not found studies or reviews, is how much potency is kept alive in the capsules, do they store well, etc, etc. Anyone know?
I am not sure what you will do with this, I am a covid vaccine survivor, 4 stents and a block carotid artery later, I still deal with plaque build up. I was in the hospital when it finally was decided my body does not accept statins, or a bunch of other drugs. I ve been taking nattokinese for 2 months now, not sure how long it will take to determine impact.
It is ok to take nattokainaise while on blood pressure pills?
Why doesn’t the stomach enzymes break it down like other protein?
Does it have the same effect of colchicine ?
I'm on serrapeptase would you recommend taking both?
I also take serrapeptase look into lumbrokinase as well it has many more human studies
I take both n it's recommended to take together.
New subscriber here, and I am a cardiac patient... I take K2 with other fat solubles A and D, because of how they support the function of the K2. I'm confused by this Nattokinase. Is it the same thing as K2? I'm confused, because I know that the best source of K2 is found in Japanese natto, but these two supplements are sold as two discreetly different products. Additionally, I was reading a Nattokinase bottle today, and it said that the K2 was taken out of the formula. That REALLY confused me, being that the K2 is what removes plaque from where it does not belong (i.e., arteries) and plugs it into your bones, where it does belong. I would appreciate any clarification. Thank you.
Hi Donya, Nattokinase is a substance in the food Natto. It is entirely separate from k2 and has entirely different effects. Nattokinase has been shown to decrease blood pressure in some studies (but not all studies confirm this), and has been shown to have some anti-clotting function. If a person eats Natto, they get a lot of Nattokinase and K2. Hope this helps
@@CardioGauge , thank you so much for explaining this! Much appreciated, Doc!
K2 also helps shift calcium from blood vessels into bone structure.
Some supplement companies remove K2 from their nattokinase to be compliant with Pharma industry . Because K2 could interfere with blood pressure lowering medications. People who take warfarin (Coumadin) should not take vitamin K.
K2 removes the calcium from calcified plaque but nattokinase removes the soft plaque.
Thamk you, Dr
This will help people today in 2023
is this food supplement suitable for cancer patient ?
Was the diet of this subject monitored? I bet it still contained high sugar and starch. This will suppress the effects of Natto.
What's your opinion of Serrapeptase ?
I take k2 mk7. Can natto be taken in addition to the k2 or no?
2 years late, but yes. Nattokinase is not a vitamin, it's an enzyme. If you eat natto it has both nattokinase and k2 (mk-7). The supplement does not have k2 unless it's otherwise listed (wouldn't recommend if so, because nattokinase is best on an empty stomach, whereas k2 is fat soluble and should be taken with a fat source).
I take NK to prevent thickening of the blood as a result of testosterone replacement therapy, (trt). Before taking NK my hematocrit levels were always around 56%. Of course I can give pint of blood that will lower those levels but I lead an active lifestyle and giving a pint would subject me to my barcalounger for four weeks with TV remote in hand while I recovered. Taking NK daily has given me even better results than giving blood however. My hematocrit levels have been holding steady at around 42%. There's your human study.
Albert, I am 57 in excellent health with no underlying medical issues and was on TRT for about 6 months and last week I stood up from my desk and had a stroke. My hemoglobin was 19.2 according to my test meter and when I was admitted into the hospital it was 16.4 with a 48% hematocrit. Thank God it was a stroke caused by hindered blood flow due to a tiny plaque in a small blood vessel that docs think had been there for years and because I panicked and heart rate increased to 140bpm it cleared the small emboli almost immediately because according to MRI and CTs there was no blockage but there was some damage. Anyways, they blamed the TRT thickening my blood and that thickened blood was hindered by the tiny plaque. It definitely makes sense. In any case I stopped taking the 120mg per week of testosterone for now and started nattokinase about 5 days ago. I was happy to hear it's keeping your blood flowing and sounds great going from 56% to 42%. Man, I surely hope this works for me because if it does I may consider starting TRT again. This happened on 4-1-22 and I am walking and typing this message and about 70-80% back to normal. I am very thankful because it could have been much worse. Should never have happened because I have zero risk factors, never smoked, drink, nor overweight. Cholesterol is perfect and no high blood pressure or diabetes. It was definitely a fluke accident and I bet the thick blood had a lot to do with it as the docs say.
@@Total_Body_Fitness_USA I also had a stroke was on TRT they did a lot of test and they could not find anything until they did a bubble test. They found a small hole in my heart, and said 1 out of 4 people have it and don't know it until it becomes symptomatic. They had to do a PFO closer, and now I'm back on TRT and taking Nattokinase.
@@nybadboy5150 I'm glad to hear they found your issue. A lot has changed with me since the stroke in April. I met with a team of neurologists and a cardiologist and lo and behold we found out why I had the stroke and it wasn't the TRT. As a matter of fact after further review of all my CT and MRI scans there wasn't even any plaques. As a matter of fact there was 0% plaque in every major blood vessel and small blood vessels throughout my brain and all the arteries from the heart, the carotids, vertebrals, etc.. The culprit was low blood flow as first suspected, BUT it was caused by me taking a daily 5mg Tadalafil which is a potent vasodilator that prevented vasoconstriction whenever I needed it most upon standing from behind my desk. I'm about 95% recovered and actually went today for a neuroscan to see how my brain is healing.
I actually went back on the TRT 80mg per week with 900iu of HCG per week and my total T was almost 1500 and my free T was pushing 300. I couldn't believe such a low dose of T got it up that high. My hemoglobin was 17.2 and my hematocrit was 51.6 so not bad, but it did make me a little nervous even though the specialists said the testosterone had nothing to do with my stroke. They said to not worry about the hematocrit since most people living at high altitudes walk around with levels in the high 50s and even low 60s with no problem. Also found out that just because hematocrit is elevated in the plasma doesn't mean it's elevated in the brain. The body has a unique way of decreasing hematocrit in smaller blood vessels. It's called the Fåhræus-Lindqvist effect which I thought was pretty cool. BTW, I also had the bubble test while in the hospital and my results were negative for any defects. Thanks for your input...
@@Total_Body_Fitness_USA man now I feel nervous cause I take 5 mg of Cialis daily.
@@nybadboy5150 The reason it caused low blood flow to the internal capsule of my brain is because my baseline blood pressure in the mornings would average 100/60 and in the evenings it would be 110/70. This is fine, but I had the stroke in the morning and Tadalafil has a warning to not take if you have low BP. I should have known better, but I didn't think I would have a stroke because I have zero underlying medical issues and I have never smoked, don't drink, and I exercise daily and my cholesterol is perfect. As long as your BP is not less than 115 it most likely is okay.
Is previously frozen natto thawed ( bought in Japanese mkt) as good for you as fresh? Or homemade I guess. Hate to waste time, and $$.
I made it once. It’s disgusting. Super slimy and smells like stinky shoes and tastes bitter. Just watch some videos on people eating it. You probably won’t like it.
Yes it is. The bacteria just go dormant upon freezing but reactivate upon thawing.
WHY there's no answer on if it can dislodge the clot?. Interesting how we're discussing the benefits but NOT potential risks
I was diagnosed with a DVT, right knee to ankle... I was told to take Eliquis... reading about the side effects is terrifying... I assume you do not recommend nattokinese INSTEAD... but even adding Serrapeptase?
How about reducing the dose of Eliquis and adding 100mg of Nattokinese and some Serrapeptase? Safe to try?
Serrapeptase is mainly for anti inflammatory effect. It also has fibrinolytic (ability to dissolve clots) properties. Whereas, NattoKinase is potent fibrinolytic agent. So ,if blood clot is your concern, then NattoKinase is best.
Bottom line: With regular Coagulation tests (PT and aPTT), we can try these natural Enzymes without any fear. Just keep an eye on PT and aPTT values. If they are in good range, then you don't have to worry.
@@elmoicevengat Good stuff, but you are incorrect... nattokinase is great, but not the "best". Lumbrokinase, especially brand name Boluoke, is 10-30X stronger as a "clot-dissolver" than nattokinase.
Nattokinase does have some anticoagulation properties that Lumbrokinase is weak on... but for dissolving... no comparison. Lumbrokinase also presents NO risk of bleeding or anticoagulation issues... nattokinase does, though minor if used right. I added a baby aspirin to the Boluoke... no problems.
My DVT is very much reduced after only 6 weeks of Boluoke treatment... only a little bit left and it was graded "severe" to start... slightly above the knee down to the ankle...
Big Pharma shills, AKA, MDs... would have me take Eliquis or warfarin... neither have ANY clot-dissolving abilities... and it would take 6-8 MONTHS minimum to achieve the reduction I have in 6 WEEKS... and that is uncertain. I have taken NO Big Pharma anticoagulants. NONE.
It is a DISGRACE that the Big Pharma douchebag MDs don't include Lumbrokinase as at LEAST an adjunct therapy with their poisonous "blood thinners"... but how does one reason with EVIL?
@@GeorgeKnew Ohhh...ok..I don't know about lumbrokinase . Thanks for sharing this medicine !!!! I'll read and know more about it. 👍👍👍
@@GeorgeKnew My mom has Lupus induced blood clotting disorder; she has lower leg circulation problem as well. She is currently taking Pentoxifylline 400mg/day.
Can Lumbrokinase be taken as preventive medicine? To improve blood circulation? Which one do you suggest as a preventive medicine for better circulation and clot prevention - NattoKinase or Lumbrokinase?
Awaiting for your kind reply.
@@elmoicevengat You bet... I didn't know about it either... but after I got a DVT in my leg, I did a LOT of reading... here is a start for you!

Now it kills spike protein.
Does this product make ones estrogen levels elevated?
Just hope it works,my blood pressure is higher than it should be but I have never taken drugs.if anyone has had good results I'll be pleased to hear
I take magnesium Taurate from cardio vascular labs. Check with a doctor first.
I love how they get these store bought doctors on with all the clinical studies saying this doesn't work or that doesn't work. Dr let me tell you something and read the comments below Our bodies, my body tell me what works and what doesn't work. I've read too many comments from everyday people that says that it has helped them. So do you think we are going to listen to our bodies or from these studies? Take a guess!
I had use natto kinase for several months because it was suggested by medical doctor here in California for my husband. It did lower my blood pressure I was taking 4 to 8000 fibrin units per day my cholesterol is always been good. When I stop taking the natto my blood pressure went up about 20 points I'm going to start taking it again because I don't want to go on blood pressure medication even though I don't think my blood pressure is high because the lack of medication. There should be thousands of studies in Japan from the use of natto they have low high blood pressure rates low cancer rates and they smoke like chimneys over there
Another thing to consider is the high consumption of iodine from the seafood/seaweed ingested, averaging around 14mg per day- far in excess of the rda..
Start on a magnesium and potassium supplement.
There are actually many studies from many countries. Positive results.
I have been taking Natto Kinase for BP and it works great
Can I take Nattokinase alongside Lexapro (Escitaloprame)?
Nattokinase does not interact with Lexapro.
@@CardioGauge Alright thank you kind sir.
How can you combat constipation when taking nattokinase? I felt like ever since i started taking nattokinase 2,000 FU's, I've experienced it and don't know what to do.
Try eating a handful of dried sultanas or 4-5 dried apricots per day, it does help.
Make a smoothie by blending banana, flax seed, almond milk. Drink it every morning
@@joesitt1 thanks!
@@Jayapullani thanks!
took nattokinase ,2000 FU,my breasts became tender. stopped taking,rested from NK about a month, had an ultrasound, negative. doc explained tenderness cld have been caused by phytoestrgens from the soy used to make the nattokinase. taking again 3 x a week,will see... can't wait to see my xray and note what happens to my aortic atherosclerosis reported condtion
there is no soy nor phytoestregens in nattokinase supplements
Thank you doc..would you consider 157 over 80 to be very high BP.? And also how safe is it for my husband to take this product if he is on brillinta...? Would appreciate your advice and suggestions😊...Thank once again.♥️
Hi again Rafilover! I can’t make direct recommendations about anything because this is CZcams. However, I will say that I do not recommend Nattokinase in combination with Brilinta, because nattokinase May have antithrombotic effect, as does Brilinta. Blood pressure of 157/80 is moderately elevated. The best way to understand blood pressure is to look at the average pressures over a couple weeks, rather than just looking at one measurement
@@CardioGauge Good morning Doctor. I was told that Brilinta is NOT a vitamin K inhibitor, therefore should be safe to take in combination. I know for myself I've taking the two for about a month now. My BP has dropped from 160/80 to 115/70 ( however, in addition, I dropped my carb intake from an estimated 120grams+ to 24grams...consequently lost 45 lbs and counting).
This is scaring me. My doc told me to take Nattokinase today. I haven't taken it yet, but now I don't want to.
What?
Same here I been lacking also
You joking right
since its been consumed by millions for quite some time now, one would think if there were any real adverse side affects it would be well documented. As would the health benefits
