My major concern is safety here. Since reading those monographs that nattokinase may not be absorbed well, and may not affect blood clotting that much...the risk is less.

After all 81mg of aspirin was enough to cause micro bleeds in peoples' brains! Who would have thought that (until it was discovered by CAT/MRI scans)?

The 5mg of pycnogenols is basically useless. 50- 100mg a day is about the average dose for antioxidant effects (sometimes higher).

The Vit E may be there for antioxidant protection of the product, and the Vit C also...both are low doses.

Keep in mind that magnesium is very good for improving circulation. (esp if you are low in this nutrient from the diet)
Here is my magnesium thread:
