What are the functions of nattokinase?

1. Dissolving thrombus, preventing and improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Nattokinase can dissolve thrombosis and is very suitable for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients. Blood vessels are the river of human life. Blood vessels are as long as 90,000 kilometers in the human body, involving every part of the human body. As the blood vessels as the river of life are “scoured” and “fractioned” by blood every moment, they are easily damaged, resulting in thickening, hardening, loss of elasticity of the vessel wall, narrowing of the lumen, vascular embolism, and blood vessel rupture and bleeding, and finally form a variety of fatal diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and even death. A person’s blood vessel embolism means that there is a serious problem in the river of life of a person. Vascular embolism needs to be dredged, and it is very important to seize the opportunity to dredge and prevent blood vessels before the “prethrombotic state” appears. The current thrombus-dissolving drugs are not ideal, but since nattokinase is extracted from natto, there is hope to avoid the formation of a thrombus. Nattokinase can directly decompose thrombus and has a powerful thrombolytic effect. It is the only oral fast-acting thrombolytic food.

Nattokinase is best taken after meals in the morning and evening. Because thrombotic diseases and myocardial infarction often occur in the morning or at night, the rate of thrombus dissolution is relatively high 2-8 hours after taking nattokinase products. Therefore, taking nattokinase twice in the morning and evening can effectively prevent the onset of such diseases. In medical theoretical research and clinical confirmation, nattokinase is the latest hope for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients. The effect of nattokinase “preventing heart disease” has been recognized by the US FDA.

2. Prevention and treatment of high blood pressure

Hypertension is a common and frequently-occurring disease that endangers people’s lives and seriously affects their quality of life. Patients with high blood pressure are not only susceptible to coronary heart disease, but also endanger the brain and kidney tissue, causing serious diseases such as stroke and renal dysfunction. Once high blood pressure is formed, it is difficult to reverse. The most effective way is to control blood pressure. If high blood pressure is not controlled, it will cause abnormal vasoconstriction or cerebral infarction. Although antihypertensive drugs have obvious effects, they also have great side effects, such as some antihypertensive drugs that can cause male sexual dysfunction. Japanese scholars unexpectedly found a substance that lowers blood pressure from natto, which is nattokinase. Nattokinase reduces blood viscosity, cleans up the neutral fat on the inner wall of blood vessels, makes blood vessels unobstructed, increases elasticity, accelerates blood circulation, and thus can regulate blood pressure. It can effectively inhibit the number of high blood pressure factors produced in the blood, thereby effectively and steadily lowering blood pressure.

3. Anti-oxidation, anti-fatigue, anti-aging, prevention of Alzheimer’s disease

There are many substances in nature that have the function of fighting free radicals, but there are only a handful of substances that can be called super antioxidants, and natto can be regarded as one. Oxidation means human aging. In short, anti-aging means anti-oxidation and anti-free radicals. Free radicals not only bring aging to people but also bring diseases to humans, even fatal diseases. Nattokinase has a particularly strong antioxidant capacity, which is 20 times that of vitamin C and 50 times that of vitamin E. Free radicals are extremely unstable oxygen molecules, which take pleasure in hunting electrons from other substances in the human body, causing damage to human cells and tissues, especially the tiny blood vessels of human beings are particularly vulnerable to free radical attacks, causing bruises And varicose, blood microcirculation is blocked, leading to the occurrence of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Because nattokinase has a strong anti-oxidation effect, it can protect the capillary blood vessels from attack, keep the capillary blood vessels smooth, delay aging, and prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer’s disease.

What are the side effects of Nattokinase?

Nattokinase is safe under normal use, but because nattokinase has anticoagulant properties, do not use it if you meet the following conditions (misuse may increase the risk of bleeding), or be sure to consult your doctor before use:

1. If you have a bleeding injury such as a stomach ulcer, hemorrhoids or trauma;
2. 2 weeks before surgery;
3. Are taking anticoagulant drugs or anti-inflammatory drugs?

Because nattokinase has the effect of lowering blood pressure, people who suffer from hypotension and severe anemia should not use it, because it will lower blood pressure, which may further cause nausea and dizziness, and pregnant women should not use it.
