Disolve Blood Clots With Nattokinase

Natto is a traditional Japanese food and is commonly eaten for breakfast in Japan. Since natto is made from soybeans fermented by natto bacillus, it is sticky and has strong smell and taste. Because of the smell, some people dislike eating natto. But, natto is known as a nutritious food in Japan, and the popularity has been increasing in recent years.

Natto is a good source of protein and vitamin B2, which keeps your skin young. Natto is also rich in vitamin K2, which is helpful in preventing osteoprosis. Further, a fibrinolytic enzyme found in natto is called nattokinase. Nattokinase is reported to reduce and prevent blood clots. So, eating natto can prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Nattokinase has recently attracted attention throughout the world due to its healthy benefits. In 1987 a potent fibrinolytic enzyme in the extract of natto was discovered and named as ‘nattokinase’. Many biotechnology companies produce nattokinase via the fermentation of Bacillus subtilis natto. Various factors in the fermentation process may affect the production of nattokinase.

Blood solidification, or clotting, usually occurs as a healthy response within minutes after the skin is cut or there is trauma that causes bleeding. A clot helps seal the damage. However, blood clotting can be dangerous when it occurs inside healthy blood vessels. Unhealthy clotting can occur from platelets that get “activated” to clump together. This occurs when platelets come in contact with damaged arterial walls, or due to nutrient deficiencies, poor dietary habits, or genetic predisposition. Once platelets get sticky, their shape changes and they easily mesh or clump together, causing a clot.

Nattokinase can naturally help the body dissolve blood clots and aid in the prevention of stroke and heart attacks when consumed over time. This natural substance can be found in capsule or tablet form at your local or internet health food store. No longer does anybody have to deal with the smell and taste of natto, the active enzyme in natto has been extracted and encapsulated for easy and quick consumption. Look for name brands like Solaray, Source Naturals, and Doctor’s Best to ensure quality and purity of the product you may purchase.
