L Taurine
NOW Foods, Double Strength Taurine, 1,000 mg, 250 Veg Capsules	9	8.4
9 Taurine enhances thrombolysis rates Role of endothelin in thrombolysis in rat abdominal aorta. Tang Y, Yao X, Tang C. Role of endothelin in thrombolysis in rat abdominal aorta. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol. 1998;31 Suppl 1:S470. Our research explored the relationship between taurine and blood clot dissolution, specifically looking at how it interacts with endothelin (ET). In a rat model, we observed that while ET can inhibit thrombolysis, taurine significantly reduced ET levels by 17-40%. Importantly, taurine not only lowered plasma ET levels but also accelerated thrombus lysis by 45%. This suggests that taurine may play a beneficial role in promoting blood clot dissolution, providing a potential avenue for improving treatments for thrombotic conditions. 9 Prevents thrombosis Most Useful Review 766 people found this helpful Taurine plays a crucial role in intracellular metabolism. Unlike animals, humans cannot synthesise it adequately, thus relying on dietary sources or supplements. Studies have shown that maintaining a sufficient level of taurine reduces the risk of heart and vascular diseases. It protects cell membranes, enhances blood flow, and prevents blood clot formation. My family and I have taken 1000mg daily for almost a year and have noted significant improvements in cardiac issues and reduced blood sugar levels.

9 SCI offers safe anticoagulant potential A synthetic heparin mimetic that allosterically inhibits factor XIa and reduces thrombosis in vivo without enhanced risk of bleeding. Al-Horani RA, Abdelfadiel EI, Afosah DK, Morla S, Sistla JC, et al. A synthetic heparin mimetic that allosterically inhibits factor XIa and reduces thrombosis in vivo without enhanced risk of bleeding. J Thromb Haemost. 2019;17:2110. doi:10.1111/jth.14606 We explored the effects of a synthetic heparin mimetic known as sulfated chiro-inositol (SCI) on blood clotting mechanisms. This innovative treatment aims to inhibit human factor XIa (FXIa), a key player in the clotting process, while minimizing bleeding risks typically associated with anticoagulants. In our study, we synthesized SCI to engage FXIa specifically by targeting its heparin-binding sites. Through various blood coagulation assays and in vivo models, we observed that SCI effectively inhibited FXIa, leading to reduced clot formation without significant safety concerns. In particular, SCI demonstrated potent anticoagulant properties, matching the performance of existing treatments like enoxaparin but at a much lower dosage. Importantly, our investigations revealed that SCI's effects could be reversed by common antidotes, which adds an important layer of safety. While we noted no major bleeding risks or toxicity in the studies, further research is needed to ensure SCI's efficacy across broader clinical scenarios. Overall, our findings highlight SCI as a promising candidate for safer anticoagulation therapies. 9 Normalised blood pressure Most Useful Review 1 people found this helpful I take this product with magnesium at night to aid my sleep.

Mol Nutr Food Res. 2019;63:e1900662. doi:10.1002/mnfr.201900662 We explored how coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a natural compound found in various foods, impacts blood clotting functions. Through a well-structured study, we utilized a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with dyslipidemic patients, alongside in vitro tests on human platelets. Our findings demonstrated that CoQ10 effectively reduces platelet aggregation, granule secretion, platelet spreading, and clot retraction. This means that CoQ10 can help prevent excessive blood clot formation, which is crucial for cardiovascular health. We observed that CoQ10 works mainly by enhancing a signaling pathway involving cyclic AMP (cAMP) which ultimately diminishes the signaling of integrin αIIbβ3, a key player in platelet function. In addition, the treatment showed promising results in reducing thrombus growth in an animal model, suggesting significant in vivo benefits as well. This study highlights the potential of CoQ10 supplementation as a protective measure for individuals at risk of cardiovascular diseases by regulating platelet-related processes involved in clotting. 7.5 Blood pressure reduction Most Useful Review 4 people found this helpful When I measured my blood pressure, I discovered I had high blood pressure.

Pectin
NOW Foods, Apple Pectin, 700 mg, 120 Veg Capsules	8.8	7.9
9.5 Pectin shows promise for clot control Influence of molecular weight of chemically sulfated citrus pectin fractions on their antithrombotic and bleeding effects. Cipriani TR, Gracher AH, de Souza LM, Fonseca RJ, Belmiro CL, et al. Influence of molecular weight of chemically sulfated citrus pectin fractions on their antithrombotic and bleeding effects. Thromb Haemost. 2009;101:860. We evaluated the impact of two types of chemically sulfated citrus pectin on blood clotting and bleeding risks. Both low- and high-molecular-weight pectins demonstrated anticoagulant properties in laboratory settings. However, in practical tests, the higher molecular weight variant stood out, fully preventing venous thrombosis at a specific dose. What's intriguing is that these pectins inhibit key clotting factors through a unique mechanism, unlike traditional treatments. Notably, they also posed a lower bleeding risk compared to heparin, suggesting potential as safer antithrombotic options. 10 Lower blood count Most Useful Review 9 people found this helpful My autoimmune disease caused severe white blood cell inflammation for over five years, and my white blood cell count was just 2.6.

Tran VA, Griffin EM, Elliott JD, Scholl RL, Hill RB, et al. Thrombotic Complications Associated With Right Atrial Lines in Neonates and Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery. Is Calcium Chloride a Culprit?. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2025. doi:10.1053/j.jvca.2025.01.008 We explored the impact of different calcium infusions on clotting risks in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery. Our study involved analyzing data from 135 babies who received either calcium chloride or calcium gluconate during their treatment. The findings highlighted a significant concern: when using calcium chloride, the incidence of thrombotic events was notably higher compared to those treated with calcium gluconate. Specifically, the odds of experiencing a blood clot were over three times greater in patients given calcium chloride. With an overall thrombus occurrence of 9.9%, we observed that only 4.6% of the group receiving calcium gluconate developed such complications compared to 15% in the calcium chloride group. The evidence suggests that switching from calcium chloride to calcium gluconate could potentially reduce the risk of harmful blood clots in these vulnerable patients. 9 Stable blood counts Most Useful Review 1 people found this helpful It works perfectly!

9 Lactoferrin peptide inhibits blood clots Inhibition effects of KRDS, a peptide derived from lactotransferrin, on platelet function and arterial thrombus formation in dogs. Wu G, Ruan C, Drouet L, Caen J. Inhibition effects of KRDS, a peptide derived from lactotransferrin, on platelet function and arterial thrombus formation in dogs. Haemostasis. 1992;22:1. We examined how KRDS, a peptide derived from human lactotransferrin, impacts platelet function and blood clot formation in dogs. The study demonstrated that KRDS effectively inhibited platelet aggregation and secretion, making it a powerful agent against clot formation. During the experiment, KRDS reduced the weight of blood clots formed in the arteries by half compared to control groups, indicating its potential as an antithrombotic treatment. The findings suggest that KRDS may be a promising option for preventing harmful blood clots. 9 Hair loss halted Most Useful Review 64 people found this helpful This product significantly stopped my hair loss due to iron deficiency anaemia, which caused brittle nails and skin dryness. Traditional iron supplements yielded no results, but I found that lactoferrin enhances iron absorption.

9.5 High homocysteine management strategy Treatable high homocysteine alone or in concert with five other thrombophilias in 1014 patients with thrombotic events. Glueck CJ, Smith D, Gandhi N, Hemachandra K, Shah P, et al. Treatable high homocysteine alone or in concert with five other thrombophilias in 1014 patients with thrombotic events. Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis. 2015;26:736. doi:10.1097/MBC.0000000000000276 We explored the effects of high serum homocysteine levels on blood clot risks within a group of 1,014 patients who experienced thrombotic events. This group underwent a thorough evaluation for various thrombophilic conditions. Notably, we found that 12% of these patients had treatable high homocysteine levels. Among those with high homocysteine, we examined a treatment regimen that included vitamin B6, alongside L-methyl folate and vitamin B12. After approximately 18 months of this combined treatment, we observed significant reductions in homocysteine levels, with many patients reaching normal levels. Importantly, when high homocysteine was the only identified thrombophilia, those who achieved normalization of their homocysteine levels reported a remarkable decrease in new thrombotic events. Thus, while vitamin B6 plays a role in lowering homocysteine, its specific isolated impact on blood clotting remains unclear as part of the combined therapy. Overall, our findings highlight the relevance of managing high homocysteine through vitamin treatment to potentially lower the risk of blood clots, especially in individuals with no other identified thrombophilia. 9 Reliable and effective Most Useful Review 1 people found this helpful Excellent product! A neurologist recommended these capsules years ago. I order them every spring, as they significantly enhance blood vessel and nervous system function.

9 Vitamin D counteracts blood clotting Vitamin D Inhibits IL-6 Pro-Atherothrombotic Effects in Human Endothelial Cells: A Potential Mechanism for Protection against COVID-19 Infection? Cimmino G, Conte S, Morello M, Pellegrino G, Marra L, et al. Vitamin D Inhibits IL-6 Pro-Atherothrombotic Effects in Human Endothelial Cells: A Potential Mechanism for Protection against COVID-19 Infection?. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis. 2022;9. doi:10.3390/jcdd9010027 Our research focused on understanding how Vitamin D (VitD) might influence blood clotting, especially in the context of COVID-19. We found that when human endothelial cells were exposed to IL-6—an inflammatory cytokine associated with severe COVID-19—it led to dysfunction in these cells. This dysfunction was marked by increased levels of Tissue Factor (TF) and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), which promote blood clotting. Remarkably, when we treated these endothelial cells with VitD, we observed a reversal of these harmful effects. VitD appeared to inhibit the expression of TF and CAMs and even modulated the levels of the ACE2 receptor, which is crucial for the entry of the virus into cells. Our findings suggest that VitD could play a protective role against the blood clotting complications associated with COVID-19 by counteracting IL-6's effects on endothelial cells. Overall, this study paves the way for further research into VitD as a potential therapeutic option for mitigating thrombotic risks in COVID-19 patients. 10 Calcium levels restored Most Useful Review 11 people found this helpful My mother, with her thyroid gland removed, relies on calcium supplementation and has struggled to maintain proper calcium levels until she tried this calcium citrate.

Rustichelli S, Lanni C, Zarà M, Guidetti GF, Torti M, et al. Curcumin Modulates Platelet Activation and ROS Production Induced by Amyloid Peptides: New Perspectives in Attenuating Prothrombotic Risk in Alzheimer's Disease Patients. Nutrients. 2024;16. doi:10.3390/nu16244419 We explored how curcumin, a natural compound found in turmeric, affects platelet activation specifically when stimulated by amyloid peptides associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The research aimed to determine if curcumin could help modulate these potentially harmful blood clotting responses. Using isolated human platelets, we assessed how curcumin influences platelet aggregation and the production of reactive oxygen species. Our findings revealed that curcumin successfully suppressed platelet aggregation triggered by amyloid peptides. This suppression was linked to a decrease in critical signaling pathways involved in platelet activation. Interestingly, while curcumin significantly inhibited responses to amyloid peptides, its effects on platelet activation induced by standard physiological triggers like thrombin and convulxin were less pronounced. Granule secretion, another aspect of platelet activation, was completely suppressed by curcumin only in response to the hemostatic stimuli, not in the presence of amyloid peptides. Overall, it seems that curcumin may offer a targeted approach to mitigate the risk of blood clot formation in individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, particularly concerning the pathological roles of amyloid peptides. 7.5 Liver benefits Most Useful Review 2 people found this helpful "The PC has shown benefits for the liver, intestines, and lungs.

"Beet" the cold: beetroot juice supplementation improves peripheral blood flow, endothelial function, and anti-inflammatory status in individuals with Raynaud's phenomenon. J Appl Physiol (1985). 2019;127:1478. doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00292.2019 We explored how nitrate-rich beetroot juice impacts individuals with Raynaud's phenomenon, a condition that causes blood vessels to overreact to cold. In a study involving 23 participants, we utilized a double-blind, randomized crossover design with both beetroot juice and a nitrate-depleted version. We found that beetroot juice improved blood flow to the thumb, enhanced endothelial function, and reduced inflammation. However, there was no significant effect on skin temperature. This study is the first to highlight dietary nitrate's potential benefits for people with Raynaud's. 9 Improved health Most Useful Review 63 people found this helpful 🤩 Excellent! I am pregnant and use it with vitamin C from the same company. I continued taking it for over a month daily in the morning. My blood levels improved from 6 to 10, and I was thrilled with the results.

9 Folic acid impacts blood clotting Folic acid targets splenic extramedullary hemopoiesis to attenuate carbon black-induced coagulation-thrombosis potential. Meng Q, Li B, Huang N, Wei S, Ren Q, et al. Folic acid targets splenic extramedullary hemopoiesis to attenuate carbon black-induced coagulation-thrombosis potential. J Hazard Mater. 2022;424:127354. doi:10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127354 We investigated how folic acid affects blood clotting, particularly when exposed to carbon black (CB), a common industrial substance. In our study with adult C57BL/6 mice, we found that prolonged exposure to CB led to increased blood clotting potential due to changes in the spleen, where extra blood cell production occurs. Notably, we observed that CB exposure caused an increase in certain cells responsible for blood clotting, while decreasing folic acid levels in the bloodstream. This drop in folic acid seemed to correlate with heightened levels of prostaglandin E2, a compound that can drive inflammation and increase blood clotting. When we supplemented the mice with folic acid, we noted a reduction in the negative effects of CB on blood clotting. This protective effect appeared to stem from folic acid's ability to inhibit the enzymes involved in the excessive production of prostaglandins by splenic macrophages. Overall, our findings suggest that folic acid supplementation could be a valuable strategy to mitigate the heightened risk of thrombosis associated with carbon black exposure. 9 Preventing blood clots Most Useful Review 4 people found this helpful My husband takes this supplement an hour after breakfast to reduce homocysteine levels. It combines active folate and vitamin B12 in one pill. The sublingual form is ideal for B vitamins, as excess homocysteine can lead to blood clots.

8 Calcium type affects clot risk Thrombotic Complications Associated With Right Atrial Lines in Neonates and Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery. Is Calcium Chloride a Culprit? Tran VA, Griffin EM, Elliott JD, Scholl RL, Hill RB, et al. Thrombotic Complications Associated With Right Atrial Lines in Neonates and Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery. Is Calcium Chloride a Culprit?. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2025. doi:10.1053/j.jvca.2025.01.008 We explored the impact of different calcium infusions on clotting risks in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery. Our study involved analyzing data from 135 babies who received either calcium chloride or calcium gluconate during their treatment. The findings highlighted a significant concern: when using calcium chloride, the incidence of thrombotic events was notably higher compared to those treated with calcium gluconate. Specifically, the odds of experiencing a blood clot were over three times greater in patients given calcium chloride. With an overall thrombus occurrence of 9.9%, we observed that only 4.6% of the group receiving calcium gluconate developed such complications compared to 15% in the calcium chloride group. The evidence suggests that switching from calcium chloride to calcium gluconate could potentially reduce the risk of harmful blood clots in these vulnerable patients. 7.5 Child's health improved Most Useful Review I feel good about taking Pantothenic acid to manage my high cholesterol and support my child's health!

In preparation for pregnancy, I underwent "complete" tests and was horrified to discover I have a gene mutation affecting my body's ability to process ordinary folic acid. Consequently, my homocysteine levels were high, increasing the risk of fetal mutations. This folate is a lifesaver for people like me!!! Following my gynaecologist's instructions, I took it alongside vitamin B12 during pregnancy, successfully lowering my homocysteine and maintaining it at the required level through blood monitoring. Everything went brilliantly! A wonderful baby is growing up, and I experienced no side effects or discomfort. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

9 CoQ10 reduces harmful blood clots Coenzyme Q10 Upregulates Platelet cAMP/PKA Pathway and Attenuates Integrin αIIbβ3 Signaling and Thrombus Growth. Ya F, Xu XR, Shi Y, Gallant RC, Song F, et al. Coenzyme Q10 Upregulates Platelet cAMP/PKA Pathway and Attenuates Integrin αIIbβ3 Signaling and Thrombus Growth. Mol Nutr Food Res. 2019;63:e1900662. doi:10.1002/mnfr.201900662 We explored how coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a natural compound found in various foods, impacts blood clotting functions. Through a well-structured study, we utilized a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with dyslipidemic patients, alongside in vitro tests on human platelets. Our findings demonstrated that CoQ10 effectively reduces platelet aggregation, granule secretion, platelet spreading, and clot retraction. This means that CoQ10 can help prevent excessive blood clot formation, which is crucial for cardiovascular health. We observed that CoQ10 works mainly by enhancing a signaling pathway involving cyclic AMP (cAMP) which ultimately diminishes the signaling of integrin αIIbβ3, a key player in platelet function. In addition, the treatment showed promising results in reducing thrombus growth in an animal model, suggesting significant in vivo benefits as well. This study highlights the potential of CoQ10 supplementation as a protective measure for individuals at risk of cardiovascular diseases by regulating platelet-related processes involved in clotting. 9 Cholesterol nearly normal Most Useful Review 1 people found this helpful I purchased this for my husband, who has high cholesterol.

8 Oregano's role in clot prevention Comparative screening of plant essential oils: phenylpropanoid moiety as basic core for antiplatelet activity. Tognolini M, Barocelli E, Ballabeni V, Bruni R, Bianchi A, et al. Comparative screening of plant essential oils: phenylpropanoid moiety as basic core for antiplatelet activity. Life Sci. 2006;78:1419. We explored the potential of various plant essential oils to affect blood clotting, specifically looking into oregano (Ocimum basilicum L.) among others. The study involved extracting oils from different plants and testing their antiplatelet activity in guinea pig and rat plasma. Our findings indicated that several oils, including oregano, demonstrated varying levels of antiplatelet effects and their ability to impact clot retraction. Notably, the oils of Ocotea quixos and Foeniculum vulgare exhibited the strongest antiplatelet activity. However, while oregano was included in the study, it did not show the highest activity compared to these other oils. Interestingly, we observed a significant correlation between the potency of the oils and their content of phenylpropanoids, which are thought to play a crucial role in preventing clot formation. This suggests that while oregano may contribute to antiplatelet effects, it's the phenylpropanoids found in various plant oils that are primarily responsible for these benefits. 9 Negative test result Most Useful Review 48 people found this helpful I read extensively about oregano oil's antibacterial properties and its ability to penetrate bacterial membranes. After using it as an antibacterial treatment for 14 days, taking it twice daily, I underwent an analysis that revealed, for the first time in years, a negative result for the germ. Previously, my doctor suspected I had a blood clot due to consistently positive results after chemical treatments. Switching to natural remedies has greatly improved my health. If you have gastritis, use it under medical supervision, as it can irritate inflammation. Wishing you good health always.

Modi A, Raval I, Doshi P, Joshi M, Joshi C, et al. Heterologous expression of recombinant nattokinase in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and media optimization for overproduction of nattokinase using RSM. Protein Expr Purif. 2023;203:106198. doi:10.1016/j.pep.2022.106198 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.

8 Flavonolignans reduce platelet activity Flavonolignans inhibit the arachidonic acid pathway in blood platelets. Bijak M, Saluk-Bijak J. Flavonolignans inhibit the arachidonic acid pathway in blood platelets. BMC Complement Altern Med. 2017;17:396. doi:10.1186/s12906-017-1897-7 We aimed to explore how flavonolignans from silybum marianum, specifically silybin, silychristin, and silydianin, affect blood clotting through the COX pathway in platelets. Our methods involved analyzing platelet aggregation and the formation of COX pathway metabolites. The findings were promising; these compounds showed a reduction in platelet aggregation and COX activity. Silychristin and silybin emerged as the most effective inhibitors, potentially acting as competitive blockers at the active COX site. This suggests that flavonolignans might offer new avenues for antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory therapies. 9 Enhanced liver health Most Useful Review 97 people found this helpful One of the best liver medications for both prevention and treatment! I purchase this product for my mother, who has chronic viral hepatitis, as liver support is crucial for her. As you know, milk thistle is the leading herb for liver health, although its primary compound, silybin, is poorly soluble in water, hindering absorption. The phosphatidylcholine encapsulates silybin, allowing better absorption into the blood, increasing its bioavailability by tenfold. This results in improved protection of liver cells, detoxification, and stimulation of healthy cell growth. Mum is pleased with this product's effectiveness, and her analyses confirm it; she takes it at night, as liver bioactivity peaks between 1-3 a.m.

The findings were promising; these compounds showed a reduction in platelet aggregation and COX activity. Silychristin and silybin emerged as the most effective inhibitors, potentially acting as competitive blockers at the active COX site. This suggests that flavonolignans might offer new avenues for antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory therapies. 7.5 Fatty liver treatment Most Useful Review 8 people found this helpful My liver was in a poor state due to fatty liver. After taking this, my blood test results returned to normal values. I don't feel the effects, but the data shows improvement. I took one after breakfast and dinner.

9 Vitamin D counteracts blood clotting Vitamin D Inhibits IL-6 Pro-Atherothrombotic Effects in Human Endothelial Cells: A Potential Mechanism for Protection against COVID-19 Infection? Cimmino G, Conte S, Morello M, Pellegrino G, Marra L, et al. Vitamin D Inhibits IL-6 Pro-Atherothrombotic Effects in Human Endothelial Cells: A Potential Mechanism for Protection against COVID-19 Infection?. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis. 2022;9. doi:10.3390/jcdd9010027 Our research focused on understanding how Vitamin D (VitD) might influence blood clotting, especially in the context of COVID-19. We found that when human endothelial cells were exposed to IL-6—an inflammatory cytokine associated with severe COVID-19—it led to dysfunction in these cells. This dysfunction was marked by increased levels of Tissue Factor (TF) and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), which promote blood clotting. Remarkably, when we treated these endothelial cells with VitD, we observed a reversal of these harmful effects. VitD appeared to inhibit the expression of TF and CAMs and even modulated the levels of the ACE2 receptor, which is crucial for the entry of the virus into cells. Our findings suggest that VitD could play a protective role against the blood clotting complications associated with COVID-19 by counteracting IL-6's effects on endothelial cells. Overall, this study paves the way for further research into VitD as a potential therapeutic option for mitigating thrombotic risks in COVID-19 patients. 9 Family health improved Most Useful Review 1 people found this helpful A wonderful supplement! My entire family takes it, and we continue throughout the summer. Since we started consistently using vitamin D3, our health has significantly improved. Prior to starting, I had tests conducted for D25 OH to check for vitamin D deficiency in the blood, particularly for the children due to the high costs of testing. Six months later, we retested, and the results had greatly improved. We will continue taking it, as I’m pleased with this manufacturer’s dosages and the small capsule size.

Vitamin D3 helps to normalise blood clotting, improves cell sensitivity to insulin, and aids in carbohydrate absorption. It activates the regeneration of nerve fibres, increases their sensitivity, and prevents cholesterol deposition on blood vessel walls. It also strengthens the immune system. The sun does not provide a daily level of D3, so additional intake is necessary. Consequently, many individuals suffer from a deficiency, contrary to the myth that sun exposure alone suffices for D3 levels.

Oliver AA, Carlson KD, Price C, Banaskiewicz K, Benike A, et al. Magnetic capture of blood outgrowth endothelial cells to the luminal surface of magnetizable stent-grafts promotes healing in a porcine pseudoaneurysm model. Acta Biomater. 2025. doi:10.1016/j.actbio.2025.03.040 We explored how magnetizable stent-grafts can improve healing in carotid artery pseudoaneurysms by investigating their ability to capture blood outgrowth endothelial cells. In a porcine model, we compared magnetic stent-grafts with standard non-magnetic ones. The results showed that the magnetic stent-grafts not only occluded all nine pseudoaneurysms but also achieved better cell capture and endothelial growth. Essentially, the magnetic properties enhanced the healing process, leading to less thrombosis compared to non-magnetic counterparts. This innovative approach could reduce complications associated with these medical devices. 9 Hemoglobin recovery Most Useful Review 9 people found this helpful This supplement marked my first experience with iHerb.

Intravenous Fish Oil Lipid Emulsion Prevents Catheter-Related Thromboses in Pediatric Patients with Intestinal Failure. J Pediatr. 2018;198:301. doi:10.1016/j.jpeds.2018.03.029 We analyzed the effects of fish oil lipid emulsion on the prevention of deep vein thrombosis in children with intestinal failure. In this study, we compared 35 pediatric patients receiving a soy oil lipid emulsion with 35 who received fish oil. Remarkably, none of the children in the fish oil group experienced blood clots, whereas the soy oil group had ten cases. This suggests that fish oil lipid emulsion may significantly reduce the risk of clots associated with central venous catheters. 9 Helps lower cholesterol Most Useful Review 26 people found this helpful Thanks to Nordic Naturals for such a fantastic product. This fish oil is in Triglyceride Form, which my body quickly accepts. Other brands mostly use the Ethyl Ester form, which takes longer to convert and can waste some of the omega-3 fatty acids. The TG form helps to lower bad cholesterol levels effectively without wasting nutrients, making it worthwhile despite the slightly higher price. I highly recommend Nordic Naturals or any reputable TG fish oil brand with the necessary certifications.

9 Quercetin-3-rutinoside inhibits blood clots Quercetin-3-rutinoside Inhibits Protein Disulfide Isomerase by Binding to Its b'x Domain. Lin L, Gopal S, Sharda A, Passam F, Bowley SR, et al. Quercetin-3-rutinoside Inhibits Protein Disulfide Isomerase by Binding to Its b'x Domain. J Biol Chem. 2015;290:23543. doi:10.1074/jbc.M115.666180 We found that quercetin-3-rutinoside, a flavonoid, effectively inhibits blood clot formation in mice. This compound works by targeting an enzyme called protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), which is crucial for the clumping of platelets and the creation of fibrin, a key component of clots. Our experiments revealed that quercetin-3-rutinoside binds to a specific region of PDI, altering its structure and reducing its activity. Interestingly, introducing a fragment of PDI could reverse the clot-inhibiting effects of quercetin-3-rutinoside. Overall, this study suggests that quercetin-3-rutinoside may have potential as a natural antithrombotic agent. 9 Impressive results Most Useful Review 43 people found this helpful Vessels appreciate him. I procured this for my mother and have observed significant improvement in her blood vessels' condition after using the drug alongside resveratrol and coenzyme Q10. Rutin reduces blood vessel permeability and bolsters their walls while enhancing ascorbic acid absorption. The diagnostics conducted before and after the treatment were remarkably impressive. Highly recommend this for anyone seeking to improve vascular health. Wishing everyone good health!

Circulation. 2007;116:1497. We investigated whether vitamin E supplementation affects the risk of blood clots, specifically venous thromboembolism (VTE), in women. The Women's Health Study involved nearly 40,000 women who received either vitamin E or a placebo over more than ten years. Our findings revealed that those taking vitamin E experienced a significant reduction in VTE occurrences compared to the placebo group. Notably, women with a history of VTE or certain genetic factors benefited the most from supplementation. Overall, vitamin E may play a protective role against blood clots, offering promise for at-risk individuals. 9 Boosted immune function Most Useful Review 118 people found this helpful Selenium is an essential trace element that is vital for our body's activity, particularly in immune defence and heart health. However, our modern lifestyle often leads to insufficient intake. I bought this for my mother, and she is thrilled with the improvements in her health. I’ve read it’s great for enhancing female beauty too, which is an added bonus.

8 Flavonolignans reduce platelet activity Flavonolignans inhibit the arachidonic acid pathway in blood platelets. Bijak M, Saluk-Bijak J. Flavonolignans inhibit the arachidonic acid pathway in blood platelets. BMC Complement Altern Med. 2017;17:396. doi:10.1186/s12906-017-1897-7 We aimed to explore how flavonolignans from silybum marianum, specifically silybin, silychristin, and silydianin, affect blood clotting through the COX pathway in platelets. Our methods involved analyzing platelet aggregation and the formation of COX pathway metabolites. The findings were promising; these compounds showed a reduction in platelet aggregation and COX activity. Silychristin and silybin emerged as the most effective inhibitors, potentially acting as competitive blockers at the active COX site. This suggests that flavonolignans might offer new avenues for antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory therapies. 9 Liver tests improved Most Useful Review 60 people found this helpful Extremely good! I have been diagnosed with fatty liver, and my liver function tests were high. I took 500 mg alongside my usual regimen of vitamins C and E, as I am also diabetic and hypertensive.

I've repurchased it several times, and the price in Taiwan is significantly higher than here. A few years ago, I went to a medical centre due to severe skin allergies. A blood test revealed I had a serious zinc deficiency. After my skin issue was resolved, I began taking this high-potency zinc supplement.

8 Zinc enhances blood clot formation Enhanced coagulation cascade activation and styptic effects of Zn@SiO nanocomposite. M S M, Samal DB, Amirtraj J V, Subramanian S, Venkatasubbu GD. Enhanced coagulation cascade activation and styptic effects of Zn@SiO nanocomposite. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces. 2024;239:113927. doi:10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113927 We explored how zinc affects blood clotting, particularly through a substance called Zn@SiO nanocomposite. This material shows promise as a hemostatic agent, which means it helps stop bleeding by promoting the formation of stable blood clots. During our analysis, we examined various aspects of how this nanocomposite interacts with blood. It activates specific factors in the coagulation cascade—the process our bodies use to form clots. With the presence of zinc in the material, we observed enhanced activation of these factors, leading to improved clot formation. Our research involved synthesizing and characterizing the Zn@SiO nanocomposite using several methods, including XRD, FTIR, and HRTEM. We also tested its effects on red blood cell aggregation, platelet adhesion, and several vital clotting time measures. The results indicate that Zn@SiO has significant hemostatic properties, showing potential for use in surgeries and trauma care. This study highlights the exciting role of zinc in optimizing hemostasis, making it a candidate worth considering for medical applications related to bleeding management. 9 Significant health improvement Most Useful Review 1 people found this helpful After taking this supplement for a month, I've seen a notable improvement in my overall health.

8 Vitamin D may influence blood clotting Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and thrombus load in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Uguz B, Oztas S, Zengin I, Topal D, Tiryakioglu SK, et al. Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and thrombus load in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci. 2022;26:7015. doi:10.26355/eurrev_202210_29885 We explored the connection between vitamin D levels and coronary thrombus load in patients who experienced ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The study included 77 patients where we measured serum vitamin D levels, thrombus degree, and other relevant factors. Our findings revealed that a concerning 79.22% of participants showed vitamin D deficiency, with those having milder thrombus loads possessing significantly higher vitamin D levels compared to those with severe thrombus loads. Moreover, as we assessed the severity of coronary artery condition, we noted that patients with higher thrombus burden also had markedly greater scores of atherosclerosis. Importantly, we found clear negative correlations between vitamin D levels and measures of thrombus burden. Lower vitamin D levels aligned with higher TIMI frame counts—meaning more extensive vascular obstruction—suggesting that vitamin D might play a role in blood clot formation. Overall, we determined that low 25(OH)D3 levels could be an independent predictor of high coronary artery thrombus load in STEMI patients. These findings highlight the potential significance of monitoring and perhaps addressing vitamin D levels in this vulnerable group. 9 Maintains blood quality Most Useful Review 13 people found this helpful All tests are perfect. I started taking it in the first trimester of pregnancy, and I’m now 27 weeks along. I bought 2-3 cans and continue taking it. I experienced some issues like belching but no nausea.

9 Eicosapentaenoic acid influences clotting Emergence of omega-3 fatty acids in biomedical research. Spector AA, Kim HY. Emergence of omega-3 fatty acids in biomedical research. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids. 2019;140:47. doi:10.1016/j.plefa.2018.11.017 We explored how eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid, influences blood clotting processes. The interest in EPA grew substantially after the 1970s when researchers Dyerberg and Bang noted that Greenland Eskimos had lower rates of coronary disease linked to their diet rich in marine lipids. Their findings suggested that the higher levels of EPA led to reduced platelet aggregation, which essentially means that the blood clots less easily. This anti-clotting effect is significant since blood clots can lead to serious health issues like heart attacks and strokes. Although studies have shown these promising effects, it’s crucial to note that much of the initial acclaim came from dietary observations rather than controlled clinical trials. This means that while we can relate high EPA intake to lower health risks in specific populations, we still need more rigorous studies to fully understand the impact of EPA on blood clotting across diverse groups. 9 Skin condition improved Most Useful Review 25 people found this helpful The ideal dosage for everyday vitamins comes in a plastic jar with protective mica on the lid. The sleek black design conveys quality. The capsules are large, dense, and rich golden colour, with no smell, which delighted me! They swallow easily with a glass of water, and I don’t feel them in my throat. No fishy burps or unpleasant aftertastes! I track my skin condition, especially dryness on my elbows and legs.

Kwon JH, Kim D, Cho H, Shin BS. Ascorbic acid improves thrombotic function of platelets during living donor liver transplantation by modulating the function of the E3 ubiquitin ligases c-Cbl and Cbl-b. J Int Med Res. 2019;47:1856. doi:10.1177/0300060518817408 We sought to understand how ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, impacts blood clotting during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). In our study, we analyzed blood samples from 21 recipients before and after their surgeries. We employed a well-structured approach, using rotational thromboelastography (TEG) and western blot analysis to scrutinize fibrinolysis and the functionality of specific proteins involved in clotting. Blood samples were tested in three distinct groups, one receiving vitamin C, to see its effects on clot rigidity and fibrinolysis. Our findings revealed that ascorbic acid notably reduced fibrinolysis, which refers to the breakdown of blood clots, and improved the rigidity of the clots formed. Additionally, we observed that levels of a protein called Cbl-b were higher in those receiving vitamin C, while another protein, c-Cbl, showed reduced phosphorylation. These functional changes might explain how vitamin C supports better clotting during surgeries. This study indicates that vitamin C could be a beneficial treatment to consider during LDLT to manage hyperfibrinolysis, thus promoting better outcomes for patients undergoing these complex procedures. 9 Lowers cholesterol Most Useful Review 7 people found this helpful Does the job!

9 Vitamin C enhances blood clotting Ascorbic acid improves thrombotic function of platelets during living donor liver transplantation by modulating the function of the E3 ubiquitin ligases c-Cbl and Cbl-b. Kwon JH, Kim D, Cho H, Shin BS. Ascorbic acid improves thrombotic function of platelets during living donor liver transplantation by modulating the function of the E3 ubiquitin ligases c-Cbl and Cbl-b. J Int Med Res. 2019;47:1856. doi:10.1177/0300060518817408 We sought to understand how ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, impacts blood clotting during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). In our study, we analyzed blood samples from 21 recipients before and after their surgeries. We employed a well-structured approach, using rotational thromboelastography (TEG) and western blot analysis to scrutinize fibrinolysis and the functionality of specific proteins involved in clotting. Blood samples were tested in three distinct groups, one receiving vitamin C, to see its effects on clot rigidity and fibrinolysis. Our findings revealed that ascorbic acid notably reduced fibrinolysis, which refers to the breakdown of blood clots, and improved the rigidity of the clots formed. Additionally, we observed that levels of a protein called Cbl-b were higher in those receiving vitamin C, while another protein, c-Cbl, showed reduced phosphorylation. These functional changes might explain how vitamin C supports better clotting during surgeries. This study indicates that vitamin C could be a beneficial treatment to consider during LDLT to manage hyperfibrinolysis, thus promoting better outcomes for patients undergoing these complex procedures. 9 Improved blood vessels Most Useful Review 2 people found this helpful These vitamins are excellent for collagen formation, which benefits the skin, ligaments, and blood vessels.

Uguz B, Oztas S, Zengin I, Topal D, Tiryakioglu SK, et al. Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and thrombus load in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci. 2022;26:7015. doi:10.26355/eurrev_202210_29885 We explored the connection between vitamin D levels and coronary thrombus load in patients who experienced ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The study included 77 patients where we measured serum vitamin D levels, thrombus degree, and other relevant factors. Our findings revealed that a concerning 79.22% of participants showed vitamin D deficiency, with those having milder thrombus loads possessing significantly higher vitamin D levels compared to those with severe thrombus loads. Moreover, as we assessed the severity of coronary artery condition, we noted that patients with higher thrombus burden also had markedly greater scores of atherosclerosis. Importantly, we found clear negative correlations between vitamin D levels and measures of thrombus burden. Lower vitamin D levels aligned with higher TIMI frame counts—meaning more extensive vascular obstruction—suggesting that vitamin D might play a role in blood clot formation. Overall, we determined that low 25(OH)D3 levels could be an independent predictor of high coronary artery thrombus load in STEMI patients. These findings highlight the potential significance of monitoring and perhaps addressing vitamin D levels in this vulnerable group. 9 Strengthened blood clotting Most Useful Review 3 people found this helpful On my doctor’s advice, I tried this supplement and was amazed. My nails and hair transformed, and I experienced enhanced immunity and mood. Calcium is essential for healthy teeth, bones, and blood clotting.

Kolodziejczyk-Czepas J, Ponczek M, Sady-Janczak M, Pilarski R, Bukowska B. Extracts from Uncaria tomentosa as antiplatelet agents and thrombin inhibitors - The in vitro and in silico study. J Ethnopharmacol. 2021;267:113494. doi:10.1016/j.jep.2020.113494 Our exploration focused on how extracts from Uncaria tomentosa, popularly known as cat's claw, influence the blood clotting process. We aimed to understand whether these extracts could change the way blood plates function or affect coagulation. To do this, we tested various concentrations of both ethanol and aqueous extracts from cat’s claw leaves and bark. We measured their impact on human blood platelet aggregation and conducted anticoagulant tests, which looked at factors like thrombin and prothrombin levels. While we noted some slight antiplatelet effects from these extracts, they didn't showcase significant anticoagulant benefits. However, the extracts did present potential as natural inhibitors of thrombin, a critical enzyme for forming blood clots. Overall, while cat’s claw shows some promise, its effects on blood clotting may not be as impactful as we hoped. 10 Reduces thrombosis risk Most Useful Review 17 people found this helpful When administered, Cat's Claw stimulates phagocytosis in tissues, normalises the blood’s immunoglobulin balance, and improves blood flow characteristics, thereby significantly lowering the risk of thrombosis.

After I mentioned my interest in herbs, he approved the supplements I wished to give her, including this one.
