NATTOKINASE AND FIBROID

Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic protease , which by nature is an enzyme whose basic function is to  hydrolyze proteins. Natto acts much like plasmin, the only enzyme produced by the human body that breaks down fibrin. 

In vitro studies have shown that nattokinase is a more potent fibrinolytic agent than plasmin. A major difference between nattokinase and blood thinning drugs is that the drugs interfere with the production of fibrin and due to this interference, blood thinning drugs have significant side-effects. Nattokinase acts upon the fibrin itself, which is a metabolic end-product.

Recent studies on the health benefits of nattokinase have shown that this incredible and powerful enzyme can reduce even more serious fibroids, eliminating the need for prescription drugs or even dangerous surgery.

By taking a daily dose of nattokinase supplements, some women HAVE been able to conceive for a baby. How amazing is that?

IMPORTANT NOTE
Many women who want their fibroid completely gone in 2-3months often stop and complain that these supplements are not working but their problem is inpatient.

A pelvic scan is the surest prove of the result which should be done every 4 months. You may have to be on these supplements for 6months  to 1year to rid yourself completely of fibroid depending on the sizes and numbers.

NATTOKINASE IS BENEFICIAL TO HEART HEART DISEASE PATIENTS

Dr. Garland said and I quote; “I have discovered a remarkable, all-natural substance the Japanese have been using consuming for more than 1000 years. I have been using it with heart patients for over 20 years and find it ironic that all of the “natural wonders” seemingly take forever to be available here in America.

This amazing natural food works like a “Roto Rooter” to unclog arteries, clearing out the plaque buildup in arterial walls, improving blood circulation and lowering blood pressure, as the arteries regain flexibility”.

High blood pressure and clogged arteries are the reasons many are dying. Yet there are places on Earth where heart disease is practically unheard of. Japan in particular has one of the lowest disease rates OF

ANY DISEASE in the world. And one of the best track records for heart health and longevity without using dangerous drugs. Why is this so?

A lot of this can be attributed to their high fish and seafood consumption, (the Japanese invented Sushi) which is incredibly high in Omega 3 fatty acids that fight heart disease. But what’s even more intriguing is that they have one of the highest consumption rates of a soybean-based food called “Natto”.

Usually, heart attacks spike at Christmas, but did you know High Blood Pressure is the biggest and most dangerous epidemic in the world? Nearly 1 Billion people have it, leading to millions of deaths from heart disease, strokes and kidney failure. It affects every country on the planet and is getting worse by the second.

The most alarming thing is the fact that it is a “SILENT KILLER”. 99% of people have no idea that their blood pressure is high and setting up a fatal heart attack or stroke. Drugs are not the answer, they only “hide” the problem, they do not solve it. But Mother Nature can!”

Blood Pressure Rising Around the Globe

The numbers are a shock: Almost 1 Billion people worldwide have high blood pressure, and over half a billion more will harbor this silent killer by 2025.

Nattokinase was discovered in 1980, by Dr Hiroyuki Sumi, who was working at the Chicago University Medical School. He was testing 172 different foods for their ability to promote healthy circulation, and Nattokinase did the job better than any other substance he was testing. Since then, additional research has been done on Nattokinase, including 17 published studies in Japan and here in the U.S. The results have been dramatic to say the least.

Nattokinase, is an enzyme that is extracted from the fermented soy food called natto. Natto is produced by a fermentation process by adding Bacillus natto, a benefical bacteria, to boiled soybeans.

Many Other Benefits of Nattokinase and Studies

Evidence suggests that Nattokinase may be an effective dietary approach for supporting healthy blood flow, thereby promoting circulatory and cardiovascular health. Nattokinase has the distinct ability to breaks down the adhesive substance that makes arterial plaque very sticky.

In heart attacks, stroke, thrombosis, and embolism, nattokinase destroys existing blood clots in the blood vessels. Natto has been involved in numerous studies, and the results show that it has the most potent oral fibrinolytic activity of over 200 foods tested.

In this trial, 73 subjects received either nattokinase containing 2,000FU per capsule or placebo for eight weeks. The treatment group demonstrated a significantly greater improvement in heart health compared with placebo group.

Various clinical studies indicate that natto is capable of lowering the body’s blood pressure through the use of inhibiting ACE or angiotensin-converting enzyme. Nattokinase dissolves existing thrombus by dissolving the fibrin that binds platelets together. Human volunteers with high blood pressure were given 30 grams of natto extract, orally for 4 consecutive days. In 4 out of 5 volunteers, the systolic blood pressure decreased on average from 173.8 to 154.8. Diastolic blood pressure decreased on average from 101.0 to 91.2. Because nattokinase is natural and safe, it has become a popular choice over other medications used to lower blood pressure.

Nattokinase enhances the body’s natural ability to fight blood clots and has an advantage over blood thinners because it has a prolonged effect without side effects. Nattokinase was shown to reduce the aggregation of red blood cells in vitro in a study done at the ‘University of Los Angeles in California‘.

Researchers from JCR Pharmaceuticals, Oklahoma State University and Miyazaki Medical College conducted a further study in which 12 volunteers were given 200 mg of nattokinase and then tracked their fibrinolytic activity through a series of blood plasma tests. The subjects exhibited a heightened ability to dissolve blood clots for 2 to 8 hours.

Alzheimer’s Disease

The nattokinase in natto is believed to have the ability to degrade amyloid fibris. Studies reveal that nattokinase has the ability to dissolve the amyloid deposits that are believed to be responsible for causing Alzheimer’s disease. The build-up of plaque from beta-amyloid deposits is associated with an increase in brain cell damage and death from oxidative stress. The enzyme has the ability to dissolve amyloid fibrils, which build up as plaque in the brain and can lead to brain cell damage.

Dosage Information

A common standard is 2,000 FUs per day, which is a usually one or two capsule. 4,000 FU daily has been used in some clinical studies as well. The recommended dosage for nattokinase is one capsule in the morning, one capsule in the afternoon and two capsules at bedtime.

Nattokinase Dangers Abuse

Natural nattokinase or nattokinase supplements are generally safe for use. Nattokinase shouldn’t be used by people with bleeding disorders, or by people who are taking coumadin, aspirin, or any other drug that influences blood clotting. Since this dietary supplement contains a large amount of K vitamin, it will reduce the effectiveness of your medications such as coumadin, which will certainly slow down the improvement of your overall health condition.

When Should You Not Take Nattokinase?

Is the nattokinase enzyme safe to use? Yes, if you are a healthy person with no blood disorders or if you are pregnant and then it is dangerous to take it. As we’ve discussed, there is not enough known about the effects (or even side effects) of this enzyme on pregnant woman, or on the fetus itself. So if you are pregnant, either see your doctor before taking it, or refrain from taking raw natto or any kind of nattokinase supplement during your term. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

The same also goes for any kind of surgery, even dentistry type surgery. Any time your body is at risk of losing too much blood, is a good time not to take nattokinase.

You should also avoid taking the enzyme if you are currently taking any kind of blood thinning treatment like warfarin, aspirin, heparin and ibuprofen (note that some of these are normally used for pain relief, but bare them in mind if you consider taking nattokinase). Your body does not need two agents acting in your cardiovascular system reducing it’s ability to form clotting as this could stop your bodies natural process of repairing itself.

And if you currently take any kind of anti-coagulant medication, you should not use nattokinase as the combination of both of these can cause you serious bruising from even the slightest touch of your skin.

Nattokinase also lowers blood pressure, so if you are anemic or generally suffer from low blood pressure, then you should again, not take this enzyme as it will further reduce your blood pressure, causing you nausea, dizziness and the possibility of you passing out.
