We evaluated how nattokinase affects blood pressure in people living with pre-hypertension or stage 1 hypertension. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 86 participants, we found that those taking nattokinase showed a significant drop in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure after 8 weeks. Specifically, systolic blood pressure decreased by an average of 5.55 mmHg, while diastolic blood pressure fell by 2.84 mmHg. Our results suggest that nattokinase could be a beneficial option in managing hypertension.

Pleasantly Pleased! I would recommend this to others. This product is brilliant! I suffered from migraine headaches until a woman at church pointed out that hers were due to high blood pressure. I checked and found mine was very high—sometimes 180/110. After ordering this product and taking it as directed, I had a doctor’s appointment where my bp was normal at 124/80. I am very pleased and will continue using it!

Garlic and dizziness interaction
We examined how exposure to garlic may affect dizziness, particularly investigating a phenomenon known as olfactory vertigo. In our analysis, we found that over-stimulation of certain brain areas linked to smell and adrenaline could lead to imbalances resulting in dizziness or disequilibrium.
The study included observations where tests were conducted on individuals suffering from vertigo believed to arise from psychosomatic origins. Our findings suggested that smelling garlic vapor heightened their reactions to adrenaline, which contributed to their dizziness. This indicates a connection between olfactory stimulation and feelings of instability.
Additionally, we highlighted that triggers associated with memories or learned responses could either initiate or exacerbate dizziness through pathways in the brain. Although the cerebellum plays a role in balance, it was not deemed essential for causing dizziness linked to garlic specifically. Rather, it appeared to amplify symptoms in those already susceptible.
Overall, our research emphasizes a significant relationship between olfactory stimuli, like garlic, and dizziness, but the exact mechanisms remain complex and multifaceted.

We aimed to explore the effectiveness of nattokinase, an enzyme with potent fibrinolytic properties, in treating heart attacks. Through our research, we focused on enhancing the production of nattokinase from a newly identified strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, referred to as CMSS, which we isolated from cow milk.
Our comprehensive study involved optimizing different growth conditions such as pH, temperature, and nutrient sources, alongside improving the strain through UV-mutagenesis. We were excited to find that these optimizations led to a significant increase in nattokinase production.
The standout results showed that our modified strain produced nattokinase with a maximum activity of 4263 U mL(-1), which is double that of the original strain. In practical terms, this nattokinase achieved an impressive 94% blood clot lysis within ten minutes, hinting at its potential as a rapid acting treatment for heart-related issues.
Overall, our findings suggest that nattokinase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa CMSS could be a promising candidate for thrombolytic therapy, notably for those at risk of acute myocardial infarction. This unique study represents the first report of nattokinase production from this microorganism, opening the door to further research.

This study examined whether nattokinase monascus supplements could effectively lower cholesterol levels in people facing dyslipidemia. In a randomized trial with 113 participants, we noted significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and similar lipid markers after 120 days of using the supplements compared to a placebo.
However, we didn't see any notable improvements in triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, or carotid intima-media thickness. Importantly, participants experienced no major side effects from the treatment. Overall, while nattokinase supplements showed promise for some cholesterol levels, they did not deliver significant changes in all examined lipid factors.

L-theanine improves sleep quality safely
We examined whether L-theanine, a natural amino acid found in tea, could improve sleep quality, especially for individuals affected by sleep apnea. Through various sleep assessments and questionnaires, we found that taking 200 mg of L-theanine before bedtime offers benefits not by putting one to sleep, but by easing anxiety.
This means users can experience better sleep without the sedative side effects commonly associated with traditional sleep aids. Importantly, L-theanine should not cause daytime drowsiness, making it a versatile option any time of the day.

We examined the effectiveness of garlic as a treatment to prevent cold symptoms based on a comprehensive review of systematic reviews. This analysis included various studies that compared garlic and other preventative interventions against a control group receiving no treatment or a placebo.
Our findings indicated that garlic demonstrated notable advantages in reducing instances of influenza, a key player in the spectrum of cold-like illnesses. However, we also learned that the evidence surrounding garlic specifically for cold prevention isn't robust enough to make definitive claims.
It's essential to note that while garlic showed potential, vitamin C did not present any significant benefits in this context. Ultimately, the effectiveness of other interventions remains to be convincingly validated with strong scientific evidence.

Dropped BP by ~25 points and fewer colds! I'm amazed. After two months of using this, my blood pressure fell ~25 points. Although I started taking Magnesium simultaneously, I noticed the distinct effects of Kyolic Garlic alone. I'm not overweight and maintain a healthy diet, yet I had blood pressure concerns. Most impressively, I'm not falling ill with the common cold as often, which was typical since I teach and kids can be germy.

We embarked on a study to investigate how garlic, alongside other natural substances, affects the growth of Blastocystis hominis in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Our research included stool specimens from both IBS patients and healthy controls to compare their responses to metronidazole (MTZ) and dietary spices like garlic.
As we explored our findings, we discovered that garlic had a significant impact, especially at lower concentrations. Specifically, over half of the B. hominis samples from IBS patients didn’t grow when exposed to garlic at a concentration of 0.01 mg/ml. As we increased the concentration to 0.1 mg/ml, the results were similarly promising, with a notable decrease in cell counts indicating that garlic can effectively inhibit the growth of this parasite in IBS patients.
Although garlic showed effectiveness, it's worth mentioning that some patients showed different responses compared to the healthy controls. For instance, while garlic reduced the B. hominis cell count in IBS patients, the control group experienced no growth of the parasite at the same concentrations. This suggests that the IBS condition may affect how well the garlic works.
Overall, while garlic indicates potential benefits for those battling IBS and Blastocystis hominis, we should also consider further research to fully understand its effectiveness and the nuances of its action in different individuals.

I worked to lower my blood pressure as I have Polycystic Kidney Disease, but I have maintained good health overall. At my last check-up, my blood pressure was around 126/90, which concerningly indicated I might need medication. Wanting to avoid these complications, I decided to try this product after reading positive reviews and peer-reviewed studies. Initially, I took two pills daily without notable effect, but then I increased to four per day, and soon realised my readings were about 120/80. I even measured 97/76 after forgetting an evening dose! Now my blood pressure consistently sits around 110/78, and I'm pleased with the results.

We examined how nattokinase affects the progression of atherosclerosis and related biomarkers in a double-blind trial involving 265 participants averaging 65 years old, who had no cardiovascular disease. Participants received either nattokinase or a placebo for three years.
Our findings revealed that nattokinase had no significant effect on subclinical atherosclerosis progression, blood pressure, or other laboratory measures. This indicates that nattokinase may not provide the anticipated cardiovascular benefits in healthy individuals at low risk for heart disease.

Nattokinase shows strong clot-busting activity
We explored the effectiveness of nattokinase, a natural enzyme known for its role in breaking down blood clots, by studying its production and activity in a lab setting. Nattokinase was extracted from Bacillus subtilis, and we introduced this gene into E. coli bacteria to produce the enzyme at high levels.
Through our process, we purified the active recombinant nattokinase and tested its ability to dissolve blood clots. Our results were promising; the enzyme exhibited a fibrinolytic activity of 58FU/mg, which is notably five times more effective than the currently used drug, orokinase.
We optimized the conditions for producing nattokinase, including factors like temperature and nutrient concentrations, resulting in an impressive yield of 1805.50 mg/L. This improved production method paves the way for scaling up nattokinase's use in treating cardiovascular diseases related to blood clots. The findings emphasize nattokinase's potential as an effective thrombolytic agent.
