Have you ever heard of natto? It is a salty‚ nutty Japanese delicacy made from fermented soybeans‚ usually eaten with rice. Due to its unique preparation‚ natto provides a specific enzyme known as nattokinase.
Nattokinase works to support the fibrinolytic process and healthy blood clotting. Your blood needs to clot in order to prevent excessive bleeding whenever you get a minor cut or scrape. However‚ too much clotting can also be bad for you; if it occurs in the wrong places‚ it can interfere with blood flow throughout the body.
NSK-SD is a form of nattokinase that has been isolated to give you its benefits‚ without the acquired taste (it is usually sticky and has a strong cheesy odor). Nattokinase may function by dissolving abnormal blood clots; it does this by trying to dissolve the tiny fibers known as fibrin‚ which form a strong mesh. In addition‚ it has had its vitamin K2 removed. Vitamin K may have relatively rare side effects in some people‚ so a supplement without it might be preferable.
NSK-SD Nattokinase 100 mg by Pure Encapsulations provides at least 20‚000 FU (fibrinolytic units) per gram‚ meaning that each 100-milligram capsule contains 2‚000 FU as the active ingredient. It also contains vitamin C to further support absorption. Oral nattokinase may be a longer-acting way to support your blood vessels.
Take one vegetable capsule twice daily‚ either with or between meals. Make sure to take each dose 12 hours apart. At the recommended dosage‚ every 60-capsule bottle of Pure Encapsulations' NSK-SD Nattokinase 100 mg should last for about one month.
