Doctor's Best Nattokinase, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, 270 Veggie Caps

It's working

My husband has a Rare blood cancer (polycythemia vera) that makes his blood too thick. The Dr. was taking a pint of blood every 2 weeks plus he was taking aspirin each day hoping his body would finally get the message that it didn't need to make so much, this wasn't helping. The only other option was blood thinners which we refuse to start. I did my research and found what has helped other people and prayed it would help my husband. I started him on: NOW Foods Ginkgo Biloba 120mg, 1 per day BLUE ICE Fermented Cod Liver Oil, 2 per day Life Extension Natural Vitamin E, 1 per day Doctor's Best Nattokinase, 2 in the morning on empty stomach and 2 before supper on empty stomach It has been been 6 weeks and the Dr. hasn't had to draw off any blood. We will continue with this treatment. UPDATE: My husband saw the Dr. yesterday and is still doing fine

Great results so far!

My husband has a blood clotting disorder and was placed on Coumadin for life. He wasn't doing well on Coumadin. There was so many nasty side effects so we looked for an alternative to Coumadin. This supplement was recommended to us 10 months ago. He is doing so much better since taking Nattokinase. He is off of Coumadin (without his Dr's blessing), it has brought his cholesterol down, brought his blood pressure down (along with vitamin C), and improved his cataracts. He just had an eye exam and his eye glasses prescription was the same as two and a half years ago. That has NEVER happened. His eyes have always gotten worse for every exam. His Dr wasn't happy with him when he got off of Coumadin, but he is happy with the results and can't believe hubby is off of cholesterol and high blood pressure meds. He has never see that happen in his patients. We are excited to see other benefits pop up in the future

nattokinase helps dissolve fibrin such as often remains in occluded blood vessels after DVT / blood clots

Nattokinase is currently being studied as an effective way to dissolve fibrin and thrombus (blood clots) in study animals (usually rats) as well as in humans. As someone who has suffered and endured more DVTs (Deep Venous Thrombosis) than can be counted across a couple decades and suffers from virtually all the possible complex complications stemming from multiple complete occlusions (including Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS), May Thurner Syndrome (MTS), Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), chronic lymphedema and veins that have become destroyed from too many years of warfarin therapy - never again, no matter what, my body simply cannot tolerate the inflammation from warfarin anymore...) finding an effective way to both PREVENT as well as DISSOLVE blood clots is vital for my quality of life. The many medical professionals I have consulted over the years never explained a basic concept to me - today's oral anti-coagulation therapies are ONLY designed to "prevent" further DVT (which is really ironic considering I always develop extensive new clotting while on warfarin therapy!) There are NO oral medications for "dissolving" existing blood clots OR fibrin which is vital to preventing further complications such as those from which I suffer and have endured. Thankfully for various reasons I was never a good candidate for any of the invasive procedures being tried over the years - whether bypass the MTS, or vena cava filters nor stenting as is being tried in recent years - they all seem to all too frequently cause further cascading series of events that are often very detrimental to quality of life. I have incorporated nattokinase into my supplement regimen the past few years on a periodic basis as I can afford with obvious success; this is called evidence based experience. Despite having multiple diagnosis leaving me permanently disabled and my leg rather disfigured, *all* of my medical professionals (including a podiatrist, interventional radiologist, vascular surgeons, cardiologists, hematologists, etc) are stunned at how healthy my leg appears DESPITE my very well documented medical saga. Yes, my leg is still obviously disfigured and likely always will be, but the skin appearance is visibly improving and healthier as compared to others suffering a similar set of complex diagnosis stemming from chronic recurrent DVTs. The supplements that go well with nattokinase for leg vein health after DVT include: fish oil, flax seed oil, a whole food sourced multi such as New Chapter Every Woman's One Daily, 72 Count , vitamin D, vitamin K2/mk7 (only if NOT taking warfarin!), B vitamins such as NOW Foods B-12,Liquid B-Complex, 8 ounce , magnesium, horse chestnut, garlic, parsley, as well as red wine as explained to me by a D.O. whom I consulted a couple years ago. The medical professionals generally cannot offer alternatives but will discuss their virtues when asked! Keep in mind if you have any chance of getting "real" information from medical professionals, only have these discussions when storm troopers (pharmaceutical reps) are not around; watch for those all too frequent catered lunches they tend to provide to the most indoctrinated..

Saved Leg From Amputation – Along With Phototherapy

I ran a therapy clinic years ago, using (primarily) electromagnetic therapies. I treated a [white] patient who had severe peripheral vascular disease. His pedal pulses were not palpable on one foot and barely palpable on the other. He had previously thrown clots into his toes, which progressed to gangrene, that led to the amputation of several toes. Below his calves to his ankles he had the thickened, brown skin, typical of severe tissue deprivation. He had 3 pitting edema. The color of his lower legs was dusky, purplish red. The skin was dry. The treatment consisted of only 2 things: Local phototherapy to open circulation and liberal, oral Nattokinase. This patient came to me as a last-chance, a Hail-Mary. He was already on the schedule at OHSU in Oregon to have one leg amputated. His wife saved his urine weekly for the first 3 months of treatment. The urine had a shiny, oil-like sheet of material with particulate in it at first. Then as the weeks progressed, he had less and less until the urine was again clear and samples were no longer taken. I was offered a followup visit, almost three years later. On evaluation, the patient had perfectly healthy appearing lower legs. The skin was supple, normal in color, with a healthy pink undertone. Both pedal pulses were strong. In other words, the treatment (which the wife continued daily and was still continuing) had worked. There was no outward sign of Peripheral Vascular Disease. Both legs still on his body. (Usually, in severe PVD or Diabetes, once one leg is amputated, the second one is amputated within 5 years on average.) I have found this combination useful also for chronic wounds as well. In total, I had the opportunity to save 4 legs from amputation, using this approach or phototherapy alone. This includes one 580lb diabetic patient who saved his second leg from amputation. The wounds did not reopen

Excellent product for health

The story behind this product is long. Natto beans originated in Japan after a war between the North of Japan and the South of Japan over a 1000 years ago. Well when the soilders returned after winning the war with the South, they went back to their barracks starving to find their natto beans had fermented. They ate them anyway. This became a symbol in their culture and now natto beans are made in japan daily and almost served over any palete. They have a odar us Americans and most cultures do not agree with. The story about natto beans is that they have a bacteria enzyme which does not let blood clots occur or disolves them. Japan has the most amount of humans over 100 last time I checked per population. In anycase, scientists now have had bacteria making this enzyme for us and have put it in a capsule and convenient. I have pvd, a very serious condition. I have watched caratid arteries go from 70% blocked to 50% blocked and doctors act as if nothing is going on. I have ct scans to prove it. In anycase, it does not hurt to study other cultures or to self educate yourself on vitamins and supplements. This product is a win win in my book. I recommend it any American and human being as our lifestyle is not what it should be. We are overwhelmed with a palete of grease, sugar, flower and the like. I always people to do research on their own. Read actual reference lab and clinical trials and hope for the best. Good luck

New Lease on Life

My Lyme doctor added this to my regime due to my energy levels not improving. I researched this and found lots of positive info including many comments on how helpful it had been to others. I started to see benefits within 4 days taking 500mg - 2 tabs in morning and 3 at night. I was able to clean up an entire room and handle fixing all the problems found in it and more! I was able to do more work in one day than I had been able to do for many, many years. Also in my reading reviews on this product I found another product mentioned that helped sinus problems, Serrapeptese. I ordered it as well and that combined with the Nattokinase has renewed my life. This will continue to be an OTC addition for me for a very long time

Clots-Be-Gone

This review is for Quercitin-Bromelain/Nattokinase/Serrapeptase, because I take them all together, and don't know which individually had the great effect - BUT IF YOU EVER SUFFER CLOTS, READ THIS: I was struck by a 5500lb truck at 30mph and thrown 60ft and then run over with both axles, and suffered severe internal injuries. I ended up with a lot of raisin-sized clots in my anus. For some reason, they get stuck there, it's like a turn-around point in the venal-arterial system (like the hands/feet/head). First a doctor told me it was an emergency, and to come right in to have them surgically removed, so I did, and suffered the consequences of the poor physicians where I live (in many professional ways, it's 3rd world). She cut thru muscle and did a lot of damage, but did remove about 7 raisin sized clots. Then I noticed more (in the shower when you clean yourself), but since I couldn't go back to the doctor because of her wreckless neglect, I found these products in a desperate search to help myself - and guess what! THEY WORKED. I would take 2 of each (EMPTY STOMACH ONLY!), 6 total in the morning, and THEY DISSOLVED THE CLOTS IN DAYS! TRULY AMAZING! INCREDIBLE!!! SUPEREXPIALIDOCIOUS! The medical profession won't recognize this, but this stuff is MAGIC when it comes to blood clots - may have saved my life - since clots can do a lot of damage if they get stuck in your head or heart. Anyway, this is just incredible stuff for blood clots. Can't thank this business enough for a product that works like a charm. I am so thankful for this product. I feel like donating to the business out of gratuity! Now and then, I take them just for the heck of it, and have not had any more problems with blood clots. I really can't be more thankful - I would have had to have flown 1000 miles to deal with this any other way. IT IS MAGIC FOR BLOOD CLOTS!!! Hehe - MAGIC

helps greatly to reduce my mitral valve prolapse symptoms

I had a pretty scary incident 5 yrs.ago after a long flight.To make a long story less so,I ended up with 4 blood clots in my leg,had to inject myself with a clot buster called klexane,and then go on warfarin.I was in the Philippines, will spare all the details,of misdiagnosis and the numerous hospitals I went to.I ended up with a friend in the city of Dumaguete,who just by chance was eating a japanese food called natto,for a blood disorder he was experiencing.After doing some research on natto,I found out the enzyme in natto,nattokinase is very good for thinning blood,breaking up clots,and cardiovascular health in general.I also have mitral valve proplapse,and i can tell you that nattokinase has helped reduce my symptoms greatly.I am very grateful for this product and will never go without it...never,in fact i keep a years supply on hand at all times !
