Thank you so much for your help. I love this forum and learning new things. You were right. It is Magnesium Oxide. I will change that as soon as I can. I have read that before about the D3. That is good to know because that could solve my problems if I am taking too much calcium because I think my problem is arterial plaque which causes poor circulation. Do you know of another way to clean that out? That is what I was hoping to do with the Nattokinase.

There have been many claims about cleaning out plaque...

Whoever finds the workable solution will be very rich I expect!

All of the claims are somewhat suspect IMO. For example, there is chelation of calcium, which can be dangerous.

I do think keeping inflammatory markers down with antioxidants, will reduce plaque from forming. Also the work of Dr. Ignarro is worth a try.

HI, a couple years LATE (I know)...but none the less this is so important to share in hopes that many people read it, and want to take a chance on something that could really help them naturally. I read a lot of the comments on this forum here and was stopped by your comment. I would love to share my own story with you concerning Nattokinase. This was about 5 years ago, I was using “Nuvaring” as my form of birth control (which can cause clots) and I was 40ish give or take a year or so. Was overweight, And I smoked. So all of those made me a prime candidate for blood clots. I thought I had a Charlie horse in my leg, upper mid inside of my calf. This just happened one morning after I woke, the pain. Then a week went by, pain wasn’t going away, 2 weeks in I started to seek answers as to what it could be (finding it to be a Thrombosis) now my leg began to swell and get red and become hot to the touch. This scared me so badly. I knew what it was and found the most promising natural cure I could find online, before giving in and going to hospital/Doctor... (which I was beyond terrified to do so) knowing they would keep me in hospital for a week or 2 observing as they administered Warfarin (blood thinner/ORIGINAL RAT POISON)... I did not have time for that, my Husband worked and we have children at home who at the time were not even close to watching themselves if Mom had to be elsewhere, and nobody to help. So I needed to find my best cure... so I found Dr.s Best Brand after reading many reviews down at our local super supplements store for about $21... Day 1 I took 1 Nattokinase capsul, woke up to nearly no pain and half swelling was gone! Day 2 took another capsul, woke up to no pain, no swelling and barely any heat. Day 3 took yet another capsul, woke up to nothing, it was gone, no heat, pain, swelling!!!! Well, I continued on taking 1 a day for a couple months for safe measure, being very careful not to take any other blood thinner at all due to risks of brain bleeding if you do. It’s been around 5 years ago now, never again have I had any thrombosis (blood clot in leg)... it was basically cured overnight, and I am living proof. I’ve done tons of additional research since then about Nattokinase, it is an absolutely amazing supplement. It dissolves clots, and plaque from your arteries. It basically makes your arteries and veins and heart health brand new again. They are actually starting to connect alsheimers/Dementia to how clogged the arteries are, the brain arteries can swell and put pressure on the brain if they are clogged, Nattokinase can clean those clogged arteries and possibly as the scientists state, reverse alsheimers/Dementia. Very good news to all of us! Also, neuropathy is another thing I’ve read Nattokinase can help with. So many benefits, as long as you heed the cautions and don’t take other blood thinners with it, seems to be a real cure. Best of luck to you 😊

I've been taking Nattokinase for some yrs. My integrative MD checked me for homocysteine and it was elevated so Natto is was with a couple other supplements for the homocysteine. She is not a big fearful doctor on cholesterol. There is a lot of information on the cholesterol myth.
