This is a fantastic thread on the benefits of #Nattokinase, which is reportedly helping a lot of #LongCovid patients.

I’ve been hearing abt it for years within #Lyme community but never did a deep dive until recently.

“Nattokinase keeps blood optimally flowing & promotes cardiovascular health. According to research, it can lower blood pressure, help reduce risk of atherosclerosis, help lower lipids, support optimal blood flow with its anticoagulant properties, & may even be neuroprotective.”

“Nattokinase works its cardioprotective magic by its unique ability to dissolve fibrin, a protein that helps our body form clots. As we age, we can experience an increase in blood viscosity or thickness.”

“Blood that is too ‘thick’ is more prone to clotting and doesn’t flow as easily through blood vessels. This can increase blood pressure as the heart has to pump harder…Elevated blood viscosity contributes to cardiovascular disease, stroke, and dementia.”

“It’s often said that what’s good for the heart is good for the brain. Healthy circulation and improved blood flow can protect the brain from being starved of oxygen when dangerous blood clots form.”

“A 2004 study of nattokinase in stroke patients found that showed a clear protective effect. It’s also thought that nattokinase, with its ability to dissolve fibrin, may also help dissolve amyloid fibrils implicated in Alzheimer’s disease.”

I have personally been taking it for a month due to reading abt all of its benefits and notice it has helped my longstanding tinnitus (intermittent, worse at night) tremendously.

Have tried “everything.”

Am impressed.
