Nattokinase

[Skays]

I've been looking into Nattokinase, helps break down fibrin which is involved in blood clots. Some lifters use it to boost blood flow and heart health, especially since oral compounds can up the risk of clots and plaque. It might help reduce these risks but apparently research is still ongoing.

Has anyone tried it? Thoughts and experiences?

Although looks promising, there's been no long term studies and no large sample size studies on it. Low dose aspirin plus omega-3s is likely a better and safer approach.

Fermented soy products have been consumed for centuries by healthy people so it shouldn’t do any harm. Supplements are often made in a laboratory rather than naturally derived so hopefully it’s as good as claimed. Load up and post your bloodwork in a few months

Yeah I believe the long term risks are very low, probably only worth considering if you have issues and are on other meds it may interfere with. There is research which shows that Natto can dislodge clots which is problematic if you have any.

Guess the main consideration is the cost and efficacy, especially when the trials which i've read appear to have dosages from anything between 2000FU-14000FUs a day. If your body actually needs the upper end of those doses to have efficacy it works out to be very expensive. I think it worked out at nearly $50 a month for me to take Natto at 14k a day.

Be careful when buying as it appears lots of companies just put the mg unit down per tablet, not actually how many fibrin units there are.

I looked into it quite a bit as have borderline high blood pressure, went with Telmisartan in the end, lowers blood pressure, reduces visceral fat, mitigates LVH.

Telmisartan sounds really interesting.

Telmisartan sounds really interesting.

It sure is a wonder drug, I forgot to mention it also can reduce HCT and increases insulin sensitivity.
