Natto-K™ is a proprietary blend containing the enzyme Nattokinase NSK-SD, which has been shown to have a high fibrinolytic activity (breaks down fibrin) and antioxidant activity. Nattokinase has been the subject of 17 studies, including two small human trials. Researchers from JCR Pharmaceuticals, Oklahoma State University, and Miyazaki Medical College tested nattokinase on 12 healthy Japanese volunteers (6 men and 6 women, between the ages of 21 and 55). The tests indicated that the natto generated a heightened ability to support circulation. On average, the volunteers'' ELT (a measure of how long it takes to dissolve a blood clot) dropped by 48 percent within two hours of treatment. An additional study showed a 11% decrease in blood pressure after just two weeks. 

Suggested Use: 1 capsule of Natto-K right before bed. For a therapeutic effect, 1 capsule 3 times a day on an empty stomach. More can be taken as needed (up to 6 a day).

Additional Information about Natto-K

Nattokinase breaks down fibrin. Fibrin is a protein that forms in the blood after trauma or injury. This is essential to stop excess blood loss but excess fibrin has been shown to contribute to cardiovascular issues, poor circulation and slow tissue repair. 

There are more than twenty enzymes in the body that assist in clotting the blood, while only one that can break the clot down (plasmin). 

Bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins present in the blood also trigger an inflammatory condition resulting in excess cross-linked fibrin. Since there is no danger of blood loss and trauma has not occurred, this cross-linked fibrin will circulate through the blood and will stick to the walls of blood vessels. 

Nattokinase Proof: Blood Plasma Tests

Nattokinase has been the subject of 17 studies, including two small human trials. Researchers from JCR Pharmaceuticals, Oklahoma State University, and Miyazaki Medical College tested nattokinase on 12 healthy Japanese volunteers (6 men and 6 women, between the ages of 21 and 55). 

They gave the volunteers 200 grams of natto (the food) before breakfast, then tracked fibrinolytic activity through a series of blood plasma tests. 

The tests indicated that the natto generated a heightened ability to support circulation. On average, the volunteers'' ELT (a measure of how long it takes to dissolve a blood clot) dropped by 48 percent within two hours of treatment. An additional study showed a 11% decrease in blood pressure after just two weeks. 1,2,3

”I really appreciate Natto-K. It has dramatically improved my health. ”

”Prior to taking Natto-K my blood pressure ran 144-157, after 30 days on Natto-K my blood pressure runs 85-127. ”

”You suggested a therapeutic program of Natto-K and Lypo Gold at three times a day. My husband followed the program religiously. On Monday, February 20th, he had another cholesterol check. The doctor phoned him on the 25th with the amazing results. His total cholesterol was down 50 points and his LDL was down 40 points. His blood pressure has also returned to normal at 124/75. We will continue to be faithful users and promise to “spread the word” about the effectiveness of your products. ”

”For the last 2 years I have been treating blood clots in my right leg. After taking one bottle of Natto-K I returned to the ultra-sounds room and there were no blood clots in my upper thigh... I thank you and my right leg thanks you. ”

”Enzymedica’s Natto-K has addressed my problem completely. Once, I experienced atrial fibrillation every single day. …I began taking Natto-K as recommended 3 times a day for therapeutic relief. Very soon, I noticed the atrial fibrillation had all but disappeared. I am now taking Natto-K twice daily and I have not experienced atrial fibrillation since I began taking Natto-K early in 2007. I am grateful for Natto-K. I won’t be without it. Thank you Enzymedica. ”
