NATTOKINASE
PRODUCT DATA SHEET
Nattokinase
is an enzyme found in fermented soy beans known for its
fibrinolytic activity. It has been shown to effectively break
down fibrin and dissolve thrombus which improves overall
cardiovascular health.
Fibrin, also
known as “sticky blood”, is a protein that forms in the blood
following an injury or trauma to prevent excess blood loss.
Fibrin is also produced by inflammation caused by bacteria or
toxins in the blood. This build-up of fibrin allows for blood
clots to form, thereby slowing blood flow and increasing blood
viscosity which may lead to elevated blood pressure, heart
attack or stroke.
Presently, Urokinase is used in hospitals for fibrinolytic
injections. The enzyme’s activity only lasts 4 – 20 minutes and
it is extremely cost prohibitive. It has been found that a much
smaller dosage of Nattokinase is active for 4 – 12 hours.
