Nattokinase, an enzyme derived from natto (a traditional Japanese fermented soybean product), has shown potential in breaking down blood clots and reducing arterial plaque by promoting fibrinolysis, the process that dissolves blood clots. Here’s how it works: Fibrin Degradation: Nattokinase directly degrades fibrin, a protein involved in clot formation. Fibrin acts as a “mesh” in blood clots, so breaking it down can help dissolve clots and reduce build-up. Activation of Plasminogen: Nattokinase promotes the conversion of plasminogen into plasmin, an enzyme that dissolves fibrin. Plasmin breaks down blood clots and other protein deposits, which can reduce arterial blockages and prevent clots from forming. Reducing Blood Viscosity: Nattokinase also improves blood flow by reducing the thickness or viscosity of blood. Smoother blood flow helps prevent new plaque formation and keeps existing plaque from growing. Lowering Blood Pressure: By reducing fibrin and potentially lowering blood pressure, nattokinase indirectly decreases the stress on arterial walls, which can lead to a reduction in plaque build-up.

Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted from natto, a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. Natto is produced by fermenting soybeans with a bacterium called Bacillus subtilis (var. natto), which produces nattokinase during the fermentation process. This enzyme is valued for its potential health benefits, particularly in supporting cardiovascular health. Key Benefits and Functions of Nattokinase Fibrinolytic Activity: Nattokinase helps break down fibrin, a protein involved in blood clot formation. This fibrinolytic (clot-dissolving) property can help reduce the risk of blood clots and improve circulation. Blood Pressure Regulation: Studies have shown that nattokinase may have a mild blood pressure-lowering effect by improving blood flow and reducing the workload on blood vessels. Plaque Reduction: By helping prevent blood clots and reducing blood viscosity, nattokinase can reduce the buildup of arterial plaque, which supports healthy blood flow. Natural Anticoagulant: As a natural enzyme, nattokinase can offer a safer alternative for some people seeking mild blood-thinning effects without the strong effects of pharmaceutical anticoagulants. However, caution is necessary, especially for individuals already on blood thinners.

Orders are shipped from Texas. We have a 3-5 day ground option or a 2 day air option for you to choose from.

Nattokinase may support cardiovascular health by breaking down fibrin, the protein involved in blood clots, and promoting healthy circulation. It can also help lower blood pressure and reduce plaque buildup in arteries.
