Nattokinase

Nattokinase is an enzyme derived from fermented soybeans that has undergone dozens of human clinical trials to demonstrate its effective and safe use in supporting the cardiovascular system. Each capsule provides 100 mg (a minimum of 2000 F.U.; fibrinolytic units) to effectively thin the blood and break up blood clots. 60 vegetarian capsules per bottle. Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in Canada and is often referred to as a "silent killer" due to the lack of symptoms during disease progression. While there are many identified risk factors for cardiovascular disease, abnormal blood clotting can be problematic in some individuals. Therefore, this specific population may benefit from any intervention that can help break up pre-formed blood clots or prevent new clots from forming. Nattokinase is an enzyme derived from fermented soybeans that contains powerful health potential. Nattokinase has dozens of human clinical studies demonstrating its safety and efficacy in supporting the cardiovascular system, including healthy lipid balance, fibrinolytic activity, and lowered inflammatory markers. It has been extensively studied for its ability to thin the blood and break up blood clots. Nattokinase achieves these cardiovascular benefits through multiple mechanisms. For example, increased fibrinolysis activity is well documented and the primary reason nattokinase is able to improve blood flow. However, it has also been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce C-reactive protein, decrease renin, and lower LDL cholesterol. Numerous safety studies in animals and humans have also confirmed that nattokinase is well tolerated in a wide variety of circumstances. Cyto-Matrix Nattokinase offers 100 mg per vegetarian capsule of clinically studied NSK-SD® nattokinase to effectively thin blood and break up blood clots. Each 100 mg vegetarian capsule provides the minimum equivalent of 2000 F.U. (fibrinolytic units) for optimal cardiovascular support. 60 vegetarian capsules per bottle.
