Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the nation's leading killer for both men and women. Almost 42% of American deaths each year are from CVD, which adds up to almost 1 million deaths per year. Studies reveal that CVD is even on the rise for both sexes between the ages of 35 and 55. Now is the time to be pro-active in countering CVD.

There is a natural substance in the blood called fibrinogen. If there is trauma or injury to a blood vessel the fibrinogen is converted to fibrin. Fibrin is a sticky protein that adheres to the walls of the blood vessel. As blood cells and platelets arrive they begin to stick to the fibrin to form a blood clot and stop the bleeding.

Nattokinase has shown to have a high fibrinolytic activity (breaks down fibrin). It also helps dissolve existing blood clots (thrombus) by dissolving the fibrin that binds platelets and red blood cells together.

The Natto-LP is formulated to work synergistically with the body to assist in fibrin, protein, fat and carbohydrate digestion in the blood. Take a look at the relationship between various conditions and the blood.

How to compare different companies Systemic Enzymes:

Our systemic enzyme formulations are listed in units of activity. The potency of a systemic enzyme product is determined by the units of activity. The units of activity express the strength of the enzymes in the formulation. Another way to say this is that the more units of activity in a formulation, the more it is capable of breaking down. Units of activity are based on the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), Academy of Sciences and accepted by the American Food Industry. For example, the amount of Protease in the Natto-LP is 180,000 HUT. This means that each capsule has 180,000 units of activity. Using these units of activity to compare different systemic enzymes is crucial. The units of activity in a product are what counts, not the number of milligrams or another measuring system. What's important is the amount of the product is capable of breaking down. When comparing our product with others, and they don't use the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), it's almost impossible to compare the two products. So when using other products that don't use the Food Chemical Codex, ask them what is the activity level equivalent to the Food Chemical Codex. It is impossible to compare proprietary blend products to any other. A proprietary blend is a mixture of the ingredients stated in the blend.

The only thing the proprietary blend product states is the total amount of blend. They don't state the amount of each ingredient or its activity level. Therefore, you don't know what the activity level of each enzyme is, and this is the only measurement that is used when the supplier sells to the manufacturer for encapsulating the enzyme. For example, the ingredient supplier of the enzyme can sell 250mg that would equal 25,000 FCC/HUT of protease enzyme, or 250mg that would equal 150,000 FCC/HUT of protease enzyme. In this example there is a 6 time difference in the amount of enzyme strength.

This is how some nutritional companies might mislead their customers in order to increase their profit margin. They may use lower cost ingredients, and formulate a product with weaker/lower activity enzymes and label the product as a proprietary blend or list the ingredients individually in mg. So when considering to buy a product that states a proprietary blend or ingredients listed in mg, ask for a copy of the certificate of analysis that comes from the lab. Don't let yourself be misled by a company using different terminology. Always know the quality/activity level of each ingredient in the product. Take a look for yourself and see how our product stands up next to others sold nationwide. We don't mislead our customers.

Nattokinase Research Studies

A clinical trial involving dogs was also conducted by Dr. Sumi. Two groups of dogs were used. One group received nattokinase, and the other group received a placebo. A blood clot (thrombus) was created in a leg vein of each dog. The dogs that had nattokinase in their diet had no blood clots within 5 hours. The dogs that were fed placebos still had the blockage caused by the blood clot 18 hours later.

Phase Contrast Live Blood Conditions

The Natto-LP is a systemic enzyme formulated to work synergistically with the body to assist in fibrin, protein, fat and carbohydrate digestion in the blood. It is the strongest fibrinolytic, proteolytic, and lipolytic enzyme formulation on the market. Take a look at what undigested substances in your blood can do to your cardiovascular system.*

Normal Red Blood Cells

Notice how the erythrocytes (blood cells) are round and separated. This allows the blood to flow smoothly through blood vessels and capillaries and into cells to provide oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and hormones.*

Protein Linkage

Protein Linkage occurs when excess undigested protein and fat in the blood coats the red blood cells and causes them to stick together. This increase blood viscosity (thickness) and stress on the circulatory system.*

Rouleau

Rouleau results from a large amount of undigested protein and fat in the blood. Notice that the red blood cells are stacked like coins. This reduces their surface area and the amount of oxygen that can be carried by them.*

Erythrocyte Aggregation

Erythrocyte Aggregation results from a large amount of undigested proteins and fats in the blood. Notice the red blood cells all bunched together. This reduces their ability to carry oxygen and vital nutrients. It also increases blood viscosity (thickness), increasing stress on the circulatory system.*

Fibrin

Fibrin may resemble a spider web. It is part of the blood clotting mechanism, however fibrinogen shows up in the blood when the there are toxins present indicating inflammation. It may indicate improper elimination, and liver stress.*

Cholesterol Crystal

Cholesterol Crystals result from excess undigested fats not being cleared from the blood. Notice the crystal appears milky or clear.*

Thrombocytes

Platelets are what make the blood clot when there is an injury. This is what stops the bleeding if you cut yourself. Large amounts of platelets may appear in the blood when there is inflammation or injury.*

Thrombocyte Aggregation

Thrombocyte Aggregation results from platelets sticking together in large masses due to excessive proteins, fats, or sugars.*

Plaque

Cooked/processed fats, and platelets sticking together and hardening, sometimes it sticks to the inside of blood vessel walls.*

Chylous

Small grayish dots in the blood known as blood fats. Chylous usually shows up after a fatty meal but should be gone within 3 to 5 hours.*

Why do I need Systemic Enzymes?

Enzymes are universally used throughout the body and life cannot exist without them. A systemic enzyme is an enzyme that supports your circulatory system. If they are in your digestive system they are called digestive enzymes, if they are in your blood stream, they're called systemic enzymes. There is a natural substance in the blood called fibrinogen. If there is trauma or injury to a blood vessel the fibrinogen is converted to fibrin. Fibrin is a sticky protein that adheres to the walls of the blood vessel. As blood cells and platelets arrive they begin to stick to the fibrin to form a blood clot and stop the bleeding. Unfortunately, blood may also clot when platelets adhere to fibrin on fatty plaque of atherosclerosis, and create an unnecessary blood clot over time. When tissues are starved of proper blood flow they will begin to weaken and die. Fibrinolysis is the process of dissolving blood clots. Fibrinolysis is achieved by an enzyme called plasmin. As our bodies age, production of enzymes begins to decline. An unhealthy production level of these enzymes can lead to the development of blood clots, and the health imbalances caused by them. Other factors such as bacteria, viruses, and toxins in the blood can cause inflammation resulting in cross-linked fibrin that can circulate in the blood and stick to the walls of blood vessels. Narrowing blood vessels and increased blood viscosity (thickness) contribute to increased blood pressure and other health imbalances.

How does the Natto-LP Work?

Nattokinase has shown to have a high fibrinolytic activity (breaks down fibrin). It also helps dissolve existing blood clots (thrombus) by dissolving the fibrin that binds platelets and red blood cells together.

An enzyme in the body called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) helps synthesize angiotensin II which raises blood pressure by constricting blood vessels. Hypertension is often treated with ACE inhibitors to help lower the level of angiotensin II. Nattokinase has been shown to lower blood pressure levels by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE).

Nattokinase has also been shown to support blood circulation by assisting in the clearing of circulation and preventing hardening of the arteries.

The Importance of Protease and Lipase

Enzymes are the metabolic driving force throughout the entire body. Proteolytic and Lipolytic enzymes are able to break down proteins, fats, toxins, and cellular waste in the blood stream and throughout the body. A healthy blood stream maximizes nattokinase enzymes to function at full potential.

Proteolytic enzymes break down protein, and are often referred to as proteases. These enzymes help the body's immune system break down toxins, foreign proteins, pathogens, and dead cells. This helps reduce stress off of other body systems. They also help balance the body's pH level.

Lipolytic enzymes break down fat. Poor fat and lipid metabolism can lead to cardiovascular imbalances because fats are a major source of fuel for the heart and brain. A healthy person's body is between 20-24% fat cells. Yet some fats and lipids such as triglycerides can harm our cardiovascular system. Lipase can help control triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels.

What is Nattokinase?

Nattokinase is found in Natto, a food derived from soybeans. It has been consumed in Japan for centuries. Nattokinase is an enzyme that exhibits strong fibrinolytic activity.
