Nattovena®

A fibrinolytic enzyme that helps to maintain normal blood viscosity and support cardiovascular health. The enzyme was discovered while studying the fermented soy dish known as “natto.” A researcher was trying to uncover why certain foods had higher fibrinolytic activity than others. He came upon a Japanese fermented soybean food called natto that had large volumes of an enzyme that he coined “nattokinase”, based on where he discovered the enzyme. He later found that a microorganism that was used in the fermentation process was responsible for creating this enzyme. This same microorganism (Bacillus subtilis) is used today in the production of the enzyme.

Studies have demonstrated that nattokinase improves overall circulation, promotes healthy blood viscosity, and maintains healthy blood levels.

Fibrin is a vital protein that forms in response to trauma, injury, or even in cases of autoimmune conditions. The body not only has the potential to overproduce fibrin in response to these instances, but can also produce fibrin when no trauma or injury has occurred, which can lead to a bevy of unwanted symptoms. Fibrinolytic activity is important because it’s the body’s natural way of breaking up excessive fibrin.

Nattokinase is derived from natto, which has been a regular food staple in Asian cuisine for centuries. Although nattokinase has many benefits, studies have shown that it also does not have demonstrative side effects, and the ingredient is considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe) in the US.

Due to the vast array of unhealthy conditions that excessive fibrin can bring, Nattovena has far greater value than a simple cardiovascular support product. Many aspects of health, ranging from muscle recovery to immune health, can be related to fibrin and blood viscosity.

You should always check with your healthcare provider prior to taking any new dietary supplements in combination with a blood-thinning medication. Nattovena is not contraindicated with aspirin, natural supplements, or antihypertensive medications, although medical supervision when implementing any new supplement regimen is always recommended.
