Was curious if anyone's DR or LLMD has suggested taking Nattokinase, particularly if you suffer from Lyme/Bart Vasculitis or Hypercoagulation AND the neuropathic type symptoms from these Lyme-related complications?
This is an enzyme from Japanese soybean that has anti-clotting properties, any experiences?
NOTE: This is not an endorsement or recommendation, just curious IF anyone's taken it or what their doctor said about it's efficacy?

Been on it. Do have Factor V Lieden...genetic clotting disorder so have to do heperin/lovenox shots when on IV or surgery.

I'm taking it and can tell when I forget or run out. (Out right now) I also have Raynauds and this has made a BIG difference! LLMD wants me to increase while on iv treatment.

I'm sure it works. I had trouble with it due to stomach issues while on it.
Probably the soy.
You can also look into lumbrokinase and serrapeptase.

Dr J S has recomended it.It should be from Nutraceutical sciencies institute .
He suggest it against Clotts .I already am using it also take wobenzyme.

What sort doses are you taking? Anyone here taking Wobenzym in addition or in place of this?
Looks like a great supplement, will have to ask my LLMD about it?

There are many enzyme products you can take. If you take them 1/2 hour or more before eating, they act systemically. If you take them close to a meal, they digest your food.
My husband is taking Vitalzym, which is the least expensive per enzyme unit.
I'm taking lumbrokinase, as it specifically targets fibrin in the brain.
We've used nattokinase, Neprinol, and Rechts Regulat (which really works to thin the blood out)
Wobenzyme was recommended to me, but I never tried it.
Both of us have noticed improvement from taking systemic enzymes.
Best,
Cass A

I'm wondering how you all are doing with your vasculitis symptoms after some time. My teen daughter has not found anything to help with her vasculitis symptoms, but we started nattokinase and Plaquenil this year. Thank you for any advice on meds or protocols for the vasculitis symptoms.

YES YES YES!!!
I have a red bloo dcell clumping disorder on top of B.duncani and bartonella and I have had covid-19
all of these can great affect your circulation and you can end up throw clots, big and small, and having heart attack and all the fin stuff.
when I run out (they are $$$$$) I can barely move and it makes me totally ripe for death. when I had covd my llmd siad to take much more than my regular doses and I think it saved my live as almost all my covid SX were heart/ciruclation .
I use very good brands, which is a must.
I have been on nattokinase for years now. I buy Allergy Research Group, which is an excellent brand. I take 200mg , 2x per day- once in AM and once in PM.
I know of some people in other suppost groups that take a much higher dose. I would not increase. my dose unless told by a dr.
if you are on it you need to stop taking it for surgeries - stop for 48 hours prior .
and you have to tell all drs. that you are on blood thinners and put it on your medical alert bracelt , if you have one.
