Nattokinase dangers?

[GreenMachineX]

I've been doing some reading on nattokinase and it looks interesting to add to my cardiovascular health stack, with the exception of what live strong says regarding risk of brain hemorrhage and stuff. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

 

[CorpKiller]

I don't even know what it is.

 

[Housr]

I've never heard of it

You mean nattykinase?

Subbed for info. I'm taking it for a week now. 2x per day. Nothing negative to report.

Will check my BP today and see how I'm fairing. If a week is long enough to gauge.

Seems ok to me.

It's not really a big concern for healthy individuals; the risk they state is from a case report in a patient who had small vessel disease (who was also taking aspirin), so I'm not surprised they'd have a intracerebral hemorrhage.

So should I stop taking my baby aspirin before taking this?

If I even decide to take it...

Maybe spread that far apart?
You do for a blood letting?

Really depends, but yeah I wouldn't. Does your family have any history of heart disease or anything else? If so, definitely not.

Hypertension and the rest of metabolic syndrome is all over my family.

I know people who use it religiously and love it, but I tend to err more on the side of caution with stuff (esp with a family history) and wouldn't take anything

I've used natto for many years and it has helped greatly with keeping BP in check and lowering hematocrit levels while on TRT.

I just procured 100g and began taking it yesterday for BP, hematocrit hemoglobin maintenance while on TRT. I'm also using Arjuna. I donate in another 6 weeks or so. I'll know benefits then unless I decide to do bloodwork before hand.

Yeah, I'll probably skip this one.

Those both are what I was looking at this for, especially the blood pressure issue. It just won't stay under control. Unless there's something out there I'm missing, I've tried all the natural stuff and nothing is working on my blood pressure. It's at 146/80 relaxed. I've tried celery seed extract, olive leaf extract, ubiquinol, ashwagandha, AGE garlic, agmatine, theanine, taurine, and Relora. Maybe others as well but don't remember.

I'll look into Arjuna!

Any particular brand you'd recommend?

Edit: VS had Himalaya and Solaray so I went with Soloray...hope that's good.

 

[B5150]

I went with Swanson's Arjuna Bark Extract and a bulk bark powder from an ayurvedic herbs source - both very cheap.

 

[justhere4comm]

Pine Bark Extract. Got that in my cabinet too. Hmmm. What else is in here....

Arjuna - Interesting.
