Nattokinase and the heart

- Natto is a cheese- like food which is made of soybeans which have been fermented with a bacterium called Bacillus Subtilis. Natto has been consumed as a traditional food in Asian countries for several thousand years and Natto consumption is believed to be a significant contributor to the longevity of the japanese.
For a long time, it was not very clear to scientists as to why Natto consumption was linked with good cardiovascular health. In 1987, there was a breakthrough when it was discovered that Natto contained a potent enzyme called Nattokinase and perhaps it was the Nattokinase in the Natto that was responsible for the benefits seen. Incidentally Natto is also a very good source of vitamin K2 and I have recently done a video on the benefits of Vit K2 on heart health. The dose of Nattokinase is measured in FU - fibrinolytic units. 50g of Natto has about 1500 FU of nattokinase in it.
There have been many experiments done to study the benefits of Nattokinase but most of these have been done in test-tubes and animals (rats). There have been very few studies done in human beings and this is why one has to be very careful in assuming that all the benefits that have been purported in lab studies could also apply to humans. In any case, I will share what we know about Nattokinase so far.
I was forced to find an alternative to blood thinners including aspirin after I had open heart surgery at the age of 42 because I was severely allergic to them. Three cardiologists only gave me 5 years to live because of my genetics. Thankfully, I discovered Nattokinase, and 18 years later, I’m still alive!
That is wonderful!
What is the dosage that you have been taking?
Be safe!🙏

Hi,
I have been taking between 4,000 and 6,000 FU ever since my surgery. Dr. Stephen Sinatra says to take:
2,000 FU daily for prevention
4,000 FU daily for heart attack prevention
6,000 FU for stroke prevention
If you’re interested in cardiovascular health, I highly recommend any and all of his books. His books saved my life! Thank you 🙏 for your reply.
Great, what is the FU dosage that you take?
@@BuddhaLove77
Hi BuddhaLove,
Thank you! 🙏 Sorry for the delay in responding. I never received your message. I received the one below today, and that’s how I saw yours. Anyway,
Dr. Stephen Sinatra says to take:
2,000 FU for prevention
4,000 FU for heart attack prevention
6,000 FU for stroke prevention
I take between 4,000 and 6,000 FU units a day. I take 4,000 early in the morning around 3 or 4 am; and then if my blood pressure is high, I’ll take another 2,000 in the afternoon. People are more prone to heart attacks in the early morning hours, so I never miss that early morning dose except when I had to have shoulder surgery. Good luck 🍀 and thank you 🙏 for your supportive thoughts.

I love how the last study mentioned (at 12:15), which showed no advantage to Nattokinase, was done with a LOWER dosage than the studies which DID show an advantage. That's what drug companies do all the time! They can't patent Nattokinase, so they lower the dose so it appears ineffective.
It's very common, they did the same with Ivermectin. I think with HCQ, they gave does too high, killing a few people IIRC.
If they can't patent it, it shouldn't exist as far as they are concerned.
And they only experiment on healthy people. These pharmaceutical companies pay for the experiments and testing so that they can control them.
It's a cover up study. Can't have something you can get without a prescription that does better than their product.
Exactly!
Don't see why this doc is quoting pharma "research."
As a Japanese person who grew up eating natto very frequently as a child (and as an adult), it is interesting to see that non-Japanese people are getting interested in health benefits of natto (and nattokinase) that we have been eating daily for centuries.
Natto tastes really good and is usually served on white rice with a bit of soy sauce and chopped spring onions.
I just love the Japanese culture. Planning to take a trip to Japan one day!
Right! The medicine’s been here
I always eat all the ginger when I go for sushi here in the states. Great for digestion. Much appreciation for your culture.
I am 2hrs(16hrs to go!) into my first try at making a batch of natto. Making it in an Instant Pot. I tried natto for the first time a couple of months ago, and loved it.
You are fortunate to have eaten it all these years.
Hope to travel to Japan someday. I am a fan of Butoh, and have taken workshops with some amazing Japanese dancers.
I tried Natto from my Japanese food shop for a while. It is revolting. I'm now looking for the kinase version in a capsule. Why bother with something you hate the taste of?
My personal experience with nattokinase and lumbrokinase is remarkable. In October 2020 my echocardiogram revealed an ejection fraction of 20%. Nine months later after taking D3 10,000 iu plus 360 mcg K2 MK7 as well as nattokinase daily my EF is 55+%. My cardiologist originally stated that the low EF was from plaquing in my arteries and could not be reversed, only managed, and suggested a defibrillator and PCSK9 injections (total cholesterol 204) . I rejected both. I am homozygous for the MTHFR c677t variant and have elevated Lp(a) both contributing to excessive plaquing. Note: I had 7 bypasses in 2010 and much of the plaquing was in those areas. I continue the aforementioned regimen along with many other supplements such as pomegranate extract (Rejuna arjuna 10:1 , oligomeric proanthocyanidins, hawthorn extract, Ubiquinol 200 mg, selenium 200 mcg, Magnesium citrate, oxide 500 mg, Life Extension olive oil and Carlson's lemon flavored cod liver oil. I try to avoid sugar, grains, vegetable (seed oils) that cause inflammation in the body especially the endothelium of the arteries. I am 70 years old and have near perfect numbers on all my labs and echo. None of these protocols have the endorsement of the pharma but anecdotal results speak volumes. None of the above info should be considered medical advice just sharing my personal experiences. Informative video doctor, thanks.
How much nattokinase are you taking in mg? My supplement is 200 mg daily. What is your dosage?
Hello, thanks for sharing, do you know whether the plaque in your arteries has lessened since doing all this?
Also, are you taking Cardio Peak from Life Exension?
@@dylanb_2011 yes I am
@@dylanb_2011 yes. According to my cardiologist the echo cardiogram showing 20% functionality is indicative of severe blockage. So, the fact the most recent cardio says 55% validates plaque removal. D3/K2 is a particularly important factor as well as Nattokinase
Dr. Peter McCullough (Cardiologist) has been using Nattokinase to help treat the jabbed, jab-injured & those with covid as there seems to be evidence it can clear/destroy the spike protein. It would be great to see a conversation between Dr. Gupta & Dr. McCullough about this subject.
Yes just heard him now talking in pensylvania on that very topic.very intetesting.
If there is an association between the spike protein and Natto kinase, that would be incredibly easy to test invitro.
@@JustJulia-qt9nh
It has been studied in vitro:
“Degradative Effect of Nattokinase on Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2”
“In this study, we examined the effect of nattokinase on the S protein of SARS-CoV-2. When cell lysates transfected with S protein were incubated with nattokinase, the S protein was degraded in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
Immunofluorescence analysis showed that S protein on the cell surface was degraded when nattokinase was added to the culture medium. Thus, our findings suggest that nattokinase exhibits potential for the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection via S protein degradation.”
Stop saying Jab, ignoramus. Definitely a deplorable like Hillary said.
any links ? thanks :)
I have been consuming natto for just over 5 years and believe that it is my "magic bullet". I am a 64 yr old female with a strong history of heart disease, stroke and thrombosis from my father's family. When I was in my 50's, while walking slightly uphill, I would feel a twinge in the middle of my chest and could barely talk while walking. After I began consuming natto, I noticed while walking the same path, I no longer feel any discomfort and don't breathe hard at all. I now do aerobics 4-5x each week and feel great.I eat about 1/3 cup of natto 3x per week.Because natto is difficult to find in my area, I have learned to make it at home.I believe that we have a loving Creator who has given each culture/continent on earth foods and herbs that are good for our health such as natto, olive oil, pomegranate juice, salmon, etc. Thank Dr., for your videos!
How do you make it? Is it like kefir or yogurt? What sort of beans (I believe Natto is actually fermented beans). And, is it cheaper than capsules? With my work schedule, kinda hard to home-grow everything! Thanks.
Please share how you eat it and how much daily?
Would you please share how you make natto and how you manage to eat it? Many thanks
@@veredictum4503if you have an instant pressure cooker, cook any beans with chili beans option for 20 minutes, drain the beans and make sure you save 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid, wash the same pot that you cooked the beans and buy the starter online mix in with your cooked beans+ the cooking liquid. Use yogurt options for 24 hours and you have natto. There are many youtube videos on these concoctions. Good luck. It is much cheaper and easy to make.
How much nattokinase
I have zero trust in the "data" of drug companies now. I have very little trust in regular medical doctors and their "standard of care" treatments.
I'd rather figure stuff out on my own and listen to different people like you.
I totally agree with you their license to practice, so I learned as much as I can from doctors. I have a lot of confidence in and I practice on myself.
I have zero trust.
Those of us who’ve chosen to try nattokinase are proving to ourselves, year after year, its efficacy.
how much do you take? is 2000 FU's a day good enough? thanks.
This is why you are a phenomenal Doctor. You are humble enough to admit you need to research a topic before posting a video.
Your awesome..from new Mexico
And to support and encourage viewers to still do their own research and decide for themselves. Rare now.
love and compassion make for the best doctors 🙏
Thank you 🙏
I wish he were in the U.S.
Thank you Dr Gupta for your ALWAYS informative videos. This one struck home. As a pharmacist, I've seen what the Big Pharma drugs can do concerning side effects and have been interested in nutritional alternatives. Approximately 14 years ago I had a bout of AFIB. The cardiologist put me on a Calcium channel blocker and Coumadin. I took this for over 2 years until I told my physician, I've had it with Coumadin and the testing. He advised taking a regular strength aspirin and continuing with the Calcium channel blocker. I did so for a few months then heard of a medical physician who was also a nutritional physician, Dr Jim Howe, now deceased, who on a whim, I emailed. He was gracious to respond and being in the medical field he went through the nutritional alternatives for Afib. One being Taurine and the other nattokinase. I weaned off the calcium channel blocker and stopped the aspirin and started the Taurine and Nattokinase regimen. I've been controlled for over 14 years with not one episode of AFIB. I'm not advising anyone to take this regimen or decrease their meds. I closely monitored myself for blood pressure and used Kardia Mobile for EKG monitoring and an oxygen pulse monitor. I don't know if I would have jumped so fast with the nutritional supplements if Eliquis or the newer anticoagulants were available at the time, but I knew I didn't want to stay on Coumadin. To date, and now in my 70's, I'm still on Taurine twice a day and Nattokinase twice a day, and no other medications
Many thanks again for the time you spend creating these informative videos.
Anthony
Anthony, very interesting! Thank you for sharing! My family on both sides has a strong history of AFIB. I do not yet but I am getting older....I am currently taking Natto. I too have a medical background, physical therapist, and closely monitor my bp, pulse, and oxygen sat. I am curious what doses of taurine and nattokinase you are taking twice a day?
@@user-xm3lv6vo8v Howard for me, I take 1000mg Taurine in the morning with one 2,000 FU capsule of nattokinase and the same of both products an hour after dinner. Just a side note for the nattokinase, I've used the NSK- SD version which is available from many manufactures. This particular version of nattokinase was the most studied and have taken from day one. All the best!
according to the fda adverse reaction database there have been over 16000 deaths associated with eliquis.
Thank you. Am on Eliquis. I don't like the propensity for bleeding. Cut my hand with a piece of wire. Size of cut was not commensurate with amount of blood flowing.
Thank you for your comment because I have had such an awful time being on warfarin that I stopped recently. I tried to newer A.C. And my life was hell on them too being told I’m high risk and pressure into going back on warfarin for my afib is so stressful I want to try something natural if I can
My brother is in his late 50’s. Had some sort of clot come up on his leg about 3 months ago. He also suffers from spider veins in his legs.and said he has some breathing issues.
I bought him some nattokainaise and he has been taking it every day for 2 months.
Varicose veins have all but gone and the hard clot,which was the size of a large walnut, is now the size of a pea. He said he has more energy and his breathing has definitely improved. I’ve noticed it when I see him.
My grandfather died of a heart problem and my father had a triple bi pass.
I am sure this will help my brother for his future.
Completely understand why Pharma wouldn’t want this info on nattokainaise to get out.
It is far too cheap to produce.
Any studies post 2020 on Nattokainaise is not to be trusted as Nattokainaise is picking up pace for treatment against v damage and it will no doubt undergo the same smear campaign as IVMectin as valid treatment for illness 🤨
Hi great to hear your results. What brand did you get and where did you get it?
Can you say how much Nattokinase he is taking?
Yep, the smart doctor likely did not even look at the sponsor of these studies or look for irregularities in the data… I am a fraud examiner and chemist and I ……. Do.
This definitely won't make it to medical school ! Cheap and works. No way it's taught.
Nattokinase and lumbrokinase enzymes are great , and ivermectin is certainly an excellent med for worms in animals!! Some use it for worms in humans, too, but you can get rid of parasites, including worms, with herbal remedies.
As an 85-year old (aches and pains of age,but healthy woman, I thank the gods everywhere for your exixtence! Could we just clone you? Everything you suggest and analyze is just that: a suggestion. You're so COOL with us - how could we not be motivated by your ideas? You're the friend we always sought but rarely found in a physician. Thank you again and again.

Lovely post!
So true - here here
Sanjay is such a lovely doctor and human being … wish he was my doctor !!
I started taking nattokinase after being diagnosed with myocarditis following first Pfizer dose. Troponin and d-dimer levels fell once I started taking nattokinase.
Look into NAC and Bromelain, with the Nattocanase. Im on it and many people i know after them dangerous procedures.
I and many are noticing huge benefits from starting them last year.
@@Tman1969Bromelain, Nac, natto, acetlcholine and 1 other was recommended by Dr McCullough to get rid of spike so presume anti-inflammatory as for myocarditis. There was 1 other which i cant remember. Interestingly, I remember previously reading that hayfever trestment recommendation was the same for 3 of them
Don't forget to do intermittent fasting.
Although it has a negative re-the damage caused. I’m so pleased that people are willing to wake up to the fact that the jabs were not safe as stated.
@@Tman1969you know the NAC is effective because the Americans band it during the pandemic.
Some of my friends with severe persistent, long-lasting cough, and no energy brought on by you know what .
Who were treated with months and months of different antibiotics got over it in one case, three days of 1800 mg NAC.
I usually take it with glycine the amino acid. We don’t get enough in our diet as it tends to come from the cartilage and bone that we don’t make soup from anymore and combined with NAC this is the building plot for glutathione, the best antioxidant our body makes
Nattokinase was the only thing that helped me with severe post covid/ long covid symptoms. Tachycardia, chest pain, palpitations, constant air hunger at rest, severe brain fog, bulging veins, many more less debilitating symptoms. Took a few months to feel significant improvement on natto but I believe it helped dissolve microclots which were impairing circulation and causing tissue hypoxia which we are now seeing are behind long covid symptoms. Prior to starting nattokinase I've seen two cardiologists, neurologist, pulmonologist, endocrinologist and countless GPs none of whom were able to help me in the slightest and I felt I was left to slowly die for well over a year without help or hope. Prior to that I was a healthy, fit 29 year old without any underlying health conditions whatsoever
What brand did you take and how much?
@@andrespalomo8315 I took Ezyleaf, not sure if it matters. On an empty stomach is important though.
I took one 100mg/2000 FU a day at first then two of those a day
Hi, did you experience any side effects? I have tried for a couple of days but was feeling so awful with flu like symptoms and ringing ears.
@@ambrosehickman3227 I don't think I noticed any side effects but at the time I was feeling so rough I may not have realised if I had any mild ones. I heard people experience side effects though, the theory is that as microclots get broken down they release toxins and spike into the bloodstream so the body reacts. But who knows, could it be harmful to some people?
It may be worth trying a smaller dose to begin with, 1 every other day or so? Not sure honestly
@@alisonreed4408 which brand of nattokinase did you take please?
Of course my comment is anecdotal and is certainly an “n of 1”, but here it is. I first heard about Nattokinase from my father-in-law who was struggling terribly with frequent TIA’s even though he was on so much warfarin that his arms were purple and he had bloody stool. I should also note that, while on warfarin, he experienced a hemorrhage in his eye and lost vision in that eye, permanently. We all noticed that, in a short period of time after his loss of vision, his arms cleared up and he stopped having TIA’s. I took him to a doctor appointment one day where he admitted that he had stopped taking warfarin and begun to take Nattokinase several months earlier after the loss of his eyesight. The doctor was furious and dropped him as a patient that day. He continued to take Nattokinase for the remainder of his life, ten more years, and never had another TIA. He died 10 days after a serious fall on the stairs, where he broke several bones, not due to a cardiovascular condition or stroke. I’m glad you were open enough to make this video. Best to you.
That is an amazing story. Glad you shared it.
What is TIA?
@@Bambina336 transient ischemic attack
Thank you for sharing the story. God bless you🙏
I've been taking nattokinase since I had an adverse reaction to the V two years ago. My functional practitioner suggested it. I take two capsules twice a day. I actually saw you in clinic recently and didn't mention this supplement because of this very reason (medical doctors not knowing much about alternative treatments), although you are an exception to the rule. Thank you for everything you do.

A combination of nattokinase and pycnogenol (pine bark extract) has been shown to have synergistic effects and could possibly be more effective at preventing blood clots during long haul flights than just taking nattokinase (there is a study on this, probably rather small like all the others though). I haven't taken nattokinase for a while, but I do take pycnogenol daily for circulation (as well as lowering symptoms of allergies, quite relevant now in the summer). Best of luck with the NHS. I'm from Sweden and our healthcare system is also suffering a crisis so I feel your pain. Cheers.
Interesting. Maybe forms of K2 in Nattokinase working synergistically as part of whole food helping prevent clots.
@@jmc8076 people who took covid vax, should use natto?
Pynagenol contains SURAMIN.
SURAMIN has been discontinued because it costs pennies to make.
Check out bob naviaux s work on healing cycles and SURAMIN.
Naviaux works with NASA. Mitochondrial defects and healing cycles are implicated in many diseases.
For blood pressure , targeting the bp receptors in the cartoid arteries with anti purigenic elements like suramin will treat, and in many cases reverse and even cure frailties.
Again, the pharmaceuticals stop movement with this. It's scandalous.
Btw doc. Check out berberine as an agent in reducing plaque
Pycnogenol so expensive :(
Sweden? It's free. what crisis could you have ?
I’m in my 30’s, not overweight, and have had no previous cardiac issues. After my second exposure to covid, I started having tachycardia. I ended up going to the ER and had hallmark signs of covid as well as an elevated d-dimer, though no blood clots were found. I started taking nattokinase and I strongly believe it is what brought my heart-rate back down to normal. It no longer gets randomly high throughout the day and doesn’t shoot up during exercise like it was before.
how much did you take?
@@Lisa-cm6ud I just followed the recommended dosage on the bottle I used, which was 4000 FU/day.

I was taking nattokinase for Long Covid also, but only recovered after I switched to an enteric-coated version. Not sure how much of a factor this was, of course, but I made the switch it after reading about an informal patient survey in which better results were reported by people taking the enteric-coated type. Unfortunately it is kind of expensive. I take KAL brand, which has 2,000 FU per tablet.
Wish I could just eat natto, as my husband does, but I can’t take the aroma or stringy texture.
@@roxyiconoclast I'm glad to hear you recovered. I also heard about enteric coated giving better results, but it was over a year later since I've been taking nattokinase that all this research came about. There was no mention of nattokinase for LC when I started it, however it didn't matter as it still worked for me.
If natto food works for your husband, I am guessing it being a food and not enteric coated doesn't matter as much?
I’m so glad I’m only an hour behind the the time you’ve posted this one Dr Gupta. I love your videos and even told my GP about you here in South Wales when they’ve been trying to reduce my BP. So thank you as always for your videos and kindness. 🏴
You are such a good man. Wise and yet humble and you genuinely care.
Thank you for all you do for us...
We appreciate your honesty and for taking time to post these videos, they are invaluable.
I started eating Natto every day with my breakfast for the K2 because I was getting a lot of calcification in soft tissues including my legs and the lingual lobe of my lung. After about a month I noticed two lumps were more than halfway gone (I was shocked) and It’s no longer super painful to touch my legs. I don’t know if it’s related to the K2 or the Natto kinase but whatever it is, I’m grateful it’s having a positive effect and will keep it as a part of my daily routine.
What does the natto taste like? Is it as bad as they say?
…any proteolytic enzyme must be taken on empty stomach…
@@johnsposato5632 I make natto from red beans, not soy beans, it tastes way better.
@@Sergei_Gusakov Really?! I'm going to look into that, I think
. I didn't know that was possible. Thanks for the info.
@@johnsposato5632 I soak the red beans overnight, then steam them for about an hour, cool until warm, add natto starter and leave at 40-45C for 12-24 hours in a multicooker, then put in the fridge. Add salt, olive oil and red pepper and it makes a nice side dish.
Thank you, Dr. G. for taking the time to address this important subject. I began taking Nattokinase out of desperation towards the end of March because of increased peripheral thrombophlebitis in my legs for nearly two years. I have CAD, T2D, and CLL, but my cardiologist does not think the blood clots are an issue and neither does my PCP. I also take Serrapeptase. I felt I needed something, and have not had the painful blood clots since I started taking the Nattokinase. I feel it is helping, and I no longer need to wear the compression hose everyday anymore, which I chose to wear because of my painful legs. I just want to live a quality life, and try to help myself when I do not get help or suggestions from my physicians. I just do not agree that blood clots in a closed system is "harmless." I find it frightening. Even my bounding carotid arteries are mellowing since I started the Nattokinase. I hope you realize how much you are appreciated.
Another effective measure for blood clots is cayenne pepper, melts clots like butter and stops heart attacks in their tracks ..3 teaspoons a day with food or capsules...it really works !!! ❤
Have you thought of adding Lumbrokinase?
@@catdog3583 I am unfamiliar with Lumbrokinase, but am open to recommendations. Thank you for suggesting.
How much natto do u take everyday?
@@missmimie8781 I take two 2.000FUs first thing in the morning, and 2 at bedtime, on an empty stomach. It has made a significant difference in my life.
The clots I was experiencing were plentiful and painful. I am 77, I guess too old for doctors to care. I walk at least 2 miles each morning. I found footless compression hose and wear those.
Very informative. Here is a summary of my experience so far, sorry for the word count but I tried to keep it short. I tried to make an appointment with my GP regarding chest pain/neck/left arm and palpitations with a very low heart rate (resting 45bpm, 52 yr old smoker). I was seen after a wait of 3 weeks, then asked to attend for an ECG and blood test a week later. A week after I contact my surgery and they said if there was concern the doctor would contact me. I discovered an alert from my apple device my pulse was 38 bpm for over 10 minutes. I contacted 111 who arranged for a Dr consultation. The doctor advised I needed to see my GP and booked me an appointment the following morning. The GP called and told me my Heart was fine, the resting rate was fine. My bloods were perfect and cholesterol amazing (keto diet). I had a follow up booked for the Tuesday after the Whitsun bank holiday face to face so attended to try and find out if and why everything was healthy, I had chest pains? I then saw my ECG (work in NHS IT so was used to seeing ECG's as I fixed the machines). I asked the DR (who was a locum) to explain the dramatic drops in the p-wave and the following weak pulses that follow, and did they think I had a Heart attak as the top of the ECG said possible historical myocardial infarction. I had not experienced a heart attack and never had a history of heart problems. I was then refered for a Holtor monitor. However due to the shear volume of cardiac patients the wait was three weeks (get it fitted for 24 hrs on 19-6-23) then by the time the results go back to the hospital, then to my GP, then me.... Then possible referal for an echocariogram or the CT scan to look for a clot or embollism. whilst only being given Aspirin and GTN spray got me scared after a week of repeated chest pains and uses of the GTN (which caused the worst banging head/neck pain). I started taking nattokinase a week ago tomorrow. 3 hours after taking I was able to respirate properly. I felt a my chest flutter and yawned for 5 minutes. No pain that night. I have been taking 8000 FU a day since. I have used the GTN spray twice since and none for the last 48 hours. My resting pulse is up from 45 bp to 61bpm. I generally feel much healthier. I am still getting all of the stuff checked out.
I have been taking Nattokinase for two weeks now and Lumbrokinase for 1. No chest pains for over a week, not used GTN for days. Feel much better and my exercise tolerence is getting much better. my resting pulse is up 40%ish from 45 to 55-60bpm. Just had the 24 hr ecg, so still playing the waiting game. It's coming up for 8 weeks and I still have no answers from the Dr's.
Please update us with your condition. Similar situation as yours but not that intense.
@@PreciousFew6110 I will do. Are you also taking Nattokinase?
@@EdsEvilTwin I'll be trying it out.
Very interested. My heart rate has fallen to mid 30’s a few times as my BP rose dramatically. Doctor didn’t seem concerned at all. But I am. They called it anxiety. Also palpitations or Afib just about every am before waking. I don’t really which it is.
Hi Sanjay, I make Natto using an Instant pot and black turtle beans sourced from Tesco here in the UK. I use a natto starter kit purchased off of Amazon. The beans take about 24 hours to fully ferment in the instant pot and yes I have noticed a slight enhancement both cognitive and cardiovascular
also I have experienced hyperglycaemia previous to incorporate natto into my diet and I can say that the Natto I make reduces my post-prandial blood glucose levels by as much as 20%, on average I eat about 100 g of the stuff between three and five times a week and I season the natto with nutritional yeast and a little sea salt.
I thought it would be useful to share this information in the comments section as I would've found it useful about one year ago when I was looking to incorporate Nattokinase into my diet and was looking for the best way to do so, it's actually very easy to make Natto at home. It's far better to get nutrients from dietary sources when and where ever possible for obvious reasons for the bio active substances we get from Whole Foods work synergistically and thus it makes all the difference to be getting them synergistically from Whole Foods and not a single nutrient from a bottle.
Thank you!
I love that you eat it rather than supplement it. My mind has been nagging me to make it for years but finding it hard to know what to do how to make it.
All the best! ❤
Thank you
@@roselynjakin5804 Hello Roselyn, I hope this summary helps you understand the process: How I make natto using an instant pot
So some years ago, I made natto with chickpeas, which I boiled in a pot of water and then mixed with natto starter powder in a Pyrex dish. I covered the dish with a tea towel and put it in a preheated oven at about 40°C. This method gave me mixed results, so I stopped making natto.
Ten years later, I wanted to make natto again, so I did some research to find a simpler and more consistent way. I learned that natto was easy to make with an instant pot. I have a 5.7 L instant pot that I bought on Amazon for about £80. I use black turtle beans that come in 500 g bags (dry weight).
I rinse and drain the beans in a stainless steel colander, then add five parts water to one part beans in the instant pot. The water should cover the beans by about 1 inch. I cook the beans on high pressure for 17 minutes and let them cool for another seven minutes before releasing the pressure.
The timing is important, as it depends on the season and quality of the beans. The beans should keep their skin intact after rinsing and cooking. If I change the cooking or cooling time by even one minute, I get different results. I buy my beans in bulk, hoping they have the same use-by date, which means they were probably grown in the same season. This way, the numbers that I worked out by trial and error will suit all of the beans that I bought.
After cooking and cooling, I drain the beans over a sieve, keeping a small amount of moisture. I add the natto starter powder and mix well. I put a paper towel over the beans and place the lid back on the instant pot. I set the valve to open to allow oxygen to reach the bacteria. I leave the instant pot on the yoghurt making setting for 24 hours for the fermentation process to take place.
It’s very important that all utensils are sterilised with boiling water so as not to ferment any unfriendly bacteria that can seriously harm your health. A good indication of the presence of unfriendly bacteria is the smell test. If the natto does not smell right, if it doesn’t smell stinky and cheesy but instead pooie for instance, this can indicate that other bacteria have entered the mix and have been fermenting besides the natto bacteria.
I find it so much easier faster and more consistent to use an instant pot and would highly recommend it. I hope this helped
Yours sincerely John.
@@dodo.32 thank you so much for your detailed reply. I will definitely be trying to make using your advice. We are going to Japan and hopefully I will get to eat it there too! I’m from Australia. I haven’t heard of an instant pot but will look it up. Thanks again 🙏🙏💖🍀
Imagine if all doctors opened their podcasts with the humility that he did. I have more respect for him as a doctor not less.
Nattokinase was the only thing that stopped my left arm and shoulder pain.
I was diagnosed with Pericarditis post my first Phizer dose. It's been 18months now and not fully better. The first 12 months were horrid.
I experimented with Nattokinase after extended Colchicine use and other NSAIDs started causing liver hepatotoxicity.
The only side effect I found from Nattokinase was my irritation levels increased dramatically when I started upping the dose. I'm off it now, but still pop the odd one here and there. I believe it was effective at suppressing or curing whatever was going on with me internally when I was taking it regularly at the time.
I know it's only subjective, but this was my experience. And after months of NSAIDs, colchicine and steroids I finally started looking elsewhere.
I was very pro-science before all this happened. I still am, but just as the good Doctor basically said, "Pharma companies control/fund the studies". That also means they control and wield the tool that we call science. These companies have a consistent public record of corruption as well. Corrupt science does not end well for the end user.
Industry funds 2/3 of studies and 2/3 of study results cannot be reproduced. Houston, we have a corruption of science problem. BTW FDA approved drugs are the third leading cause of death now.
Healing from heart issues… unfortunately it’s a disaster. I have read the myocarditis mortality studies.
How long did you take the colchicine for ?
Sorry that you took the jab.
@@JD-gm1wq I got pericarditis and didn't take the jab. Of course this was first from a virus in 2018 before the plandemic even started. Just saying it's possible even without.
I had a spinal cord injury on July 23, 1999, T7 and T8 compression fracture with hematoma,
I had full paralysis from the waist down with blood clots ,
I started consuming Chantilly Health Serra Natto and Rutin daily. 6 months later i was able to stand and in a year was able to walk. I have consistently taken it for 24 years and have not got any blood clots.
WOW thank you for sharing a real life experience that has a major turning point to it. So happy for you. Our bodies can heal if given the right resources to work with.
Thanks Doc. What a breath of fresh air you are! I’d given up on the Medical business (profession) having any integrity left. You’ve provided many of us with thousands of dollars worth of time and explanations to inform and reassure. So rare to have any medical professional do anything like that.
One question that someone on your channel may be able to answer. Given Sauerkraut is also fermented and loaded with K2, does it have similar benefits to Natto?
You always talk the language we all understand and putting our minds at rest with all the different heart conditions. Thank you so much
Thank you so much I have been following you since you started on you tube and really appreciate your opinion . Thank you too for the generosity of your precious time .
Thank You .. I found your channel a few months ago when I started random black outs .. never found out what was up with me but I have truly enjoyed your work. 🎉
Hi there Dr, thank you so much for your videos. I am Covid vaccine injured and have Long Covid. I spoke to Professor Douglas Kell and he pointed me to a twitter post where dosages of Nattokinase and Serrapeptase were discussed for both of these conditions. The NHS have been of no help to me because of the long waiting lists so I have paid out thousands of pounds privately to get lung and heart tests done. By November last year a 7 day Ziopatch test showed 37,000 missed/ectopic heartbeats. I started taking Nattokinase and Serrapeptase in December and within 2 weeks the ectopics were all but gone. They have returned slightly as I caught Covid for the second time in March but they are nowhere near as bad as they were before taking the N&S. I take 8000 Nattokinase and 120,000 Serrapeptase. I am seeing a Cardiologist in London and have told him what I am taking. I hope this information is useful to you. 🙂
Do you take two doses of 4,000 FU Nattokinase, morning and bedtime. Or?? And on an empty or? stomach? Thank you.
@@eugeniebreida1583 Hiya, I take 4000 in the morning on an empty stomach and 4000 late afternoon again on an empty stomach.
I'm also taking nattokinase at a similar dose and have seen improvement in Long Covid / POTS symptoms. Whether the nattokinase is entric coated and taken on an empty stomach seems significant and I wonder how much that has affected the results of all these studies. It would be great to see safety issues covered in this video, I understand nattokinase is relatively safe but certain risk factors need to be checked.
@@johnkarley7898 Hiya, I agree. I don't know how long I should take these doses for. Who do you ask 🤷🏻♀️. I've heard we might get Microclot testing here in the Autumn. That's what we need 🤞
@@johnkarley7898 NK does not need to be enteric coated insofar as stomach acid resistance. It survives the high acid of stomach with ease. This is fortuitous!
Risk factors are few, and empty stomach is a 'must', or it simply digests foods, insread of fibrin in the blood and elsewhere (scar tissues, etc)
Thankyou so much for all the time and heart you put into your videos!❤
Thank you dear doctor for your brilliant explanation of any subject that you touch and it’s so helpful for us patients who are having AFIB diagnosis.
Yayy I love your channel!! I found you recently and I’m so thankful that you still make videos. You are so selfless and your knowledge helps so many of us. Thank you for all that you do!🙏🏼
Thank you for reviewing this, Dr. Gupta. You're a wonderful doctor. If you get a chance, please review Serrapeptase.
Bro, was looking for research about nattokinase. Thank you Doc for the insight. I wish they'll do great research on nattokinase.
Your informative, empathetic and unbiased videos are of such a huge benefit to me in every way.
As a retired clinician- a midwife with a concurrent rgn qualification - I feel very blessed that you are giving up precious time to impart your extensive knowledge. Thank you so very much Dr Sanjay
Thank you for breaking down the research Dr G! Excellent vidéo just what I’ve been looking for!
Happy to see this guy again who I have never met but see as one of my best friends ever.
Thank you so very much for your channel, Dr Gupta. Your contribution to helping us find and remain healthy is so very appreciated and I personally thank God for the selfless dedication of souls like you who are still battling to keep the NHS going against the heinous greed of the venal criminals who are destroying our country and our world. Your kindness and compassion are needed now more than ever. With deepest gratitude and love, thank you! ❤️😍
Thank you for doing the reading for us, Dr Gupta! So interesting. So we await more data.
Thank you Dr Gupta for all you do - no matter how infrequently - as you've said in this video. You have helped so many people and we have confidence in you. Both my daughter and I have benefited from your videos and appreciate your honesty and your measured approach in the advise you give. Thanks for continuing to help the NHS during this difficult time. May you freely receive so much more than you freely give.
As usual dear Dr your giving us the benefit of your knowledge and research. At a time when all medics of All descriptions are working at full tilt because of the situations Government has forced us into, I for one thank you, appreciate you & are indebted to you for all you do for your love of mankind. Respect sir!
So happy to see a recent video from you, Doc.
Thanks for being honest doc,if many people rate nattokinase then please do another video.keep up the good work and thank you for keeping people alive.
I never miss one of your video's but I have never heard of this so I guess I better get busy and do some research. Thank you so much for making us aware
Interesting topic, thank you! I discovered natto about four years ago and came to appreciate the taste after quite a short time.
In my family irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease is present, I also used to suffer, under stress, great problems with abdominal cramps, sudden diarrhea and just constant malaise.
I do an annual blood check at my family doctor and there were times when I had too low iron levels, slightly elevated inflammation levels and also elevated liver levels.
And maybe it's because of other dietary changes I made in the past, but my blood levels have been really good over the last three years. At the last check, my doctor was quite fascinated to see my liver results so low/ good. She put it down to the fact that I don't drink alcohol at all, but I think foods like natto or kimchi, maybe fermented foods in general, have a part in that, too.
all in all it's an incredibly delicious addition to my diet and I wouldn't want to miss it anymore.
Dr. Gupta, I really enjoy your videos and your openness to looking at substances outside of traditional pharmaceuticals. This is fairly unusual in physicians. My doctor has prescribed Boluoke which is similar, but not the same to Nattokinase. It's Lumbrokinase which is said to be more potent than Nattokinase. It was prescribed for circulatory and blood flow reasons, including to the brain. I'd love to have you take a close look at this and see what you think.
I have been using Nattokinase for approximately 15 years. I'm 89yo and chose the Nattokinase over aspirin. Firstly, NK has a half life of 8-12 hours whereas aspirin is much longer. I take 4000FU every night before bed.
May I ask if you could share how full/empty your stomach is when you take your night time doses of Nattokinase? I am in need of greater understanding of affects on intestines/digestion etc. Thank you!
@@eugeniebreida1583 4-5 hours after main evening meal. On occasion, I may have a few saltine crackers with cheese an hour before bed. I also take several other supplements with the Nattokinase.
Where did you find the information of half life ?
James Resinger, thank you for sharing your long.term use of Nattokinase, it is very helpful. It also validates my decision to quit aspirin, which was causing problems. I feel more confident using Nattokinase now. 15 years is a long time, and 89 years is encouraging to me at 77, and gives me confidence. Thanks, again, for sharing. What was the reason you began using Nattokinase?
@@jamesreisinger3956 What other supplements do you take with the Nattokinase?
I remember researching this several years ago. I didn't find too much information on it but was interested in it because it is a blood thinner that can be taken without a prescription but be that as it may you have to be careful because even natural things can cause harm and you have to know exactly how much to take and I never found that out exactly. I take Xarelto because I have atrial fibrillation and on top of that I have diastolic congestive heart failure. Although I'm managing quite well and I've had the diastolic congestive heart failure since 2013. It's odd though because my ankles in my feet do not swell at all. When I first was diagnosed with it I had a lot of swelling but in the last several years, I haven't had any swelling.
Thank you for your videos they are very interesting and informative!❤
If your symptoms have changed it might be a good idea to be reassessed
I am post kidney transplant diabetic. There was an observable decrease in edema almost immediately after starting Nattokinase 2000 units daily. I alternate with Lumbrokinase every 2 weeks or so as recommended by Mercola.
I take nattokinaise as part of my regiment of cholesterol homeopath supplements from Niacin, D3K2, Citrus Bergamot and red yeast rice - seems to be working very well
You may want to add systemic enzymes with Serrapeptase.. also, going low carbs is the best way to balance insulin resistant which is the cause for cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. Check your insulin… what insulin does it abrase the endothelial lining hence leaving small let say holes which than will be filled by the cholesterol molecule producing then calcification and bulging of the inner layers…
Your doctor would never listen.
How much nattokinase are you taking daily?
@@vtecharrys.6981- 8,000 FU per day

This is my second time watching this! Think I understand better! Just noticed the cat on t-shirt, so cute! Was focused on what you were saying, and your beard. Very distinguished! Thanks so much for this!
I wish you were my cardiologist. When I asked my cardiologist about diet, she said to go to the internet and search for heart healthy diet. As you are aware, there is as much misinformation as information. I appreciate your straight forward assessments. Thanks for the videos. Be Well
I'm so impressed that you chose to study natto after having been asked about it. Thank you for this information.
Please search for the study named "Effective management of atherosclerosis progress and hyperlipidemia with nattokinase: A clinical study with 1,062 participants", which showed that 10,800 FUs for a year reduced arterial plaque by about 35%-40%. It's a Chinese study.
10.800FUs/day ?
I am glad that you are bringing this information to the forefront
I've been taking Nattokinase for just under 3 months (24,000 FUs). My dangerously high blood pressure has come down to 124/78, my triglycerides dropped 122 points. My LDL has only come down 5 points, my cholesterol is down 27 points, and my HDL has gone up 2 points. At the same time, I switched to a mostly carnivore diet with a few cheats such as mixed nuts, cheddar cheese, sugar in my coffee (slowly reducing the amount to retrain my taste buds), and when I just have to have something sweet I nibble on a few dark chocolate chips. No bread. No seed or veg. oils. No fruit or juice. Once a month I let myself have a veggie like lima beans drowning in butter or a small dinner salad. I've lost 13 lbs so far. I'm a disabled person with limited activity (bad back and knee and hip issues). I also take cod liver oil and flaxseed oil, magnesium, MSM, and once a week I take DHEA. My goal was to lose 40 lbs. Only 27 lbs to go! And I don't even feel like I'm dieting because I can eat as much BACON as I want (which I cut into 1" squares and cook in my air-fryer until crispy and then snack on the "bacon chips" when I want something salty/crunchy). Oh, and I fast a minimum of 12 hours per day (sleep time counts!).
Hey there! A friend of mine suggested Nattokinase after I had a terrible migraine flare. Typically I suffer from menstrual migraines that leave me with stroke-like symptoms. Visual auras that blind me. Slurred speech. Weakness in my arms. The difficult thing to understand is the root problem - I’ll never know because sadly, no studies have been done on my brain during these episodes. However, I have taken 6,000FU of Natto for the last 2 menstrual cycles and remarkably my symptoms have improved ten fold! It’s hard to explain in words how blessed I’ve been in taking this supplement. I truly believe it has changed my life and my cognitive function - now if I could just get rid of this cell phone that I stare at all day 🙃
I’m so sad to hear that you suffered during your cycle from those symptoms.
I did also and never heard about anyone having the same symptoms as I did, (meaning especially the horrific migraines), although many had awful pain and cramps, (which I did too). 😢
Later in life, I discovered the Atkins diet and read his books.
In his original version of the diet, he said it needed to be 72% fat and a certain amount of protein and very little carbs.
This was prob what would be called ketogenic now.
But that is what completely stopped the menstrual pain and cramping, etc and related problems.
High fat with adequate protein (and definitely no grains), was truly awesome!
Hello! I’ve had the same. Most likely multiple mini strokes. (And seizures, as well.) I’m going to try nattokinase! May God Bless us!!
You have educated me, and helped me so much throughout the years. You're such an intelligent, friendly, lovely person with a great personality. I believe your level of dedication, experience and knowledge is very deep and true. However, I refuse to watch you age. At the risk of sounding like a grandma, shave off the beard you're too handsome to hide in behind a beard, you look just as intellectual without it as well. Thank you for all you give. My cardiologist specialized in cardiology, radiology and internal medicine. He could look at an EKG and tell if the patient was black or white male or female. He was a genius and practice out of Winter Park, Florida. I recently lost him to a terrible accident he was 78. His name was Dr. Mohammed Latif educated at Dow. In many ways you remind me of him. You give me peace of mind, and my personality engages with yours. Bless you dear Doctor.
Thanks Dr. Gupta, i wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much i appreciate when you do a thorough review of topics like this. I wish you the best of luck in keeping the NHS viable despite the tories best efforts to parcel it off to their cronies.

Hello Dr., I hope and pray that all is well with you and yours! I have been following your channel for 2 1/2 years or so And I am very glad to see that you are now aware of nattokinase And vitamin K2 And there potential benefits in helping cardiovascular patients in particular calcification of the arteries, of which, I as a citizen of the US am currently dealing with along with so many others in the US.
I always enjoy your perspectives, analysis and detailed, cautious explanations of the subject at hand.
When looking at the potential benefits of vitamin K2, natto and nattokinase, you state that the current research on these natural substances is lacking, in specific, "large, extensive human trials".
I respectively beg to differ Dr! If you're looking for extensive human trials and evidence, look at the entire population of Japan where "natto" is consumed on a regular basis and they have extremely low CVD compared to western cultures!
Western diets are grossly deficient in REAL, sugar-free fermented foods and grass-fed meat and poltry which as you stated puts us in a vitamin K2 deficient state.
Japan has an excellent mass population of living breathing human subjects who consume Natto (nattokinase) and other fermented foods and the data and statistics to go along with its benefits!
The "West" (in particular, Big Pharma and Big Agriculture) is not interested in a healthy population because the whole system is profit driven, not health driven. The "West" will NEVER conduct the necessary trials that would provide the much needed evidence that a simple, natural food substance is much better than their expensive pharmaceuticals drugs. They're not willing to sacrifice billions and trillions of dollars in drug profits no matter how many lives it would save!
Please reach out to Japan's medical establishment for the data you seek. We need more doctors like you to step out of the confines of western medicine and take Healthcare away from these greedy so-called health corporations...
Your videos have given me so much reassurance and help! I would love to have you as my heart doctor. I get skipped heart beats, sometimes for days at a time and you’ve helped me understand way more than my current doctor.
I was getting skipped beats also and they went away on magnesium and more wild fish in my diet.
Take care of yourself. Your videos are inspiring me to listening more carefully as I keep watching each educational ones for different health issues.
i am seeing an enormous amount of studies and virtually all of it positive
Thank You for Looking Out Side the Box~!!!
Yes outside the pill/ medicine box 😊
I love your T shirt! I've been taking this supplement for a while. Unfortunately most doctors do not believe in supplements.
Thank you! It was good to see you. Your information is always helpful. I shared one of your videos with my soon to be x Cardiologist. I had hoped he would watch it, and contact you for advice on me: But he won’t. I’m in Virginia in the US. I cannot find good Drs here. Ones that care, are curious and want to help. 🙏🙏
Thank you for your clear and very professional videos on heart health.
Hi Dr, been following you for a long time and your videos are very reassuring. I've recently had an echocardiogram which has come back normal apart from prominent trabeculations in the left ventricles. The Dr hasnt explained what this means and the Internet is full of conflicting information regarding this. The cardiologist has said they will continue to diagnose the issue as an outpatient but I've been left in the dark about what this issue could be. Are you able to please shed some light on this? The Dr also noted that the ejection fraction is borderline low at 50-55%. I'm 33 years old and relatively active and dont have any symptoms to reflect this.
I have been using Nattokinase for 9 years with great results. I take it regularly then take a break. I have even used it on my aging dogs and treated a dog who had a hemotoma in her ear with complete reversal and no surgery or curling of the ear.
How much did you give your dog?
How long do you cycle on and off
@@Ryan____Z When I first started I was on it for months as my blood was so thick it looked black and I had clotting problems. I have learned that for me that high blood sugar is one of the causes and without knowing it I had type 2 diabetes. After I changed my diet and got that in control, I don't need it as much. I can tell from how my blood looks when I test my glucose. Now I go a couple of weeks on and a week off. I have gotten where I go a month off. My dogs ear filled with blood and looked like a balloon. I use Nattokinase for two weeks, one tablet daily and the clot was gone and a normal ear without surgery.

Thank you for working in the NHS. Having received help (albeit very late on due to pressures during and after Covid), I am enormously grateful that there are people like you out there.
The best Natto is from Japan I purchase this on a regular basis from my Chinese shop in the UK, for the past 3 years as I had two strokes, and did not want another one, my doctor prescribed a statin that I stopped, when I found out the damage it was doing, as it is nothing to do with cholesterol in the blood, but it is calcium deposits that end up in the blood and tissue, K2 moves this to the bones where it belongs. Bob in the UK
Hi Bob, so you are taking natto as foods or nattokinase in a form of supplement ?
You are an amazing doctor! So many doctors need to learn from you. Humble and sincere in the care of others. And so true on the mention of doctors not learning enough on nutrition. Yet some are so quick to bash their patients when making suggestions. Sad.
You're just a pleasant person in general. Ty for all you do
Thanks for taking the time to produce this. I have wondered for a while whether these complex protein supplements can pass from the digestive tract without being broken down?
I think supplement companies use enteric coated capsules (hypromellose etc) for this purpose.
Thanks Bob... the coatings will certainly help, and there is some scientific literature available about absorbtion further down the gut...

Dr. Sanjay, I agree about the pharmaceuticals. I am allergic to many chemicals. I have found that turmeric/ curcumin reduces swelling in my foot that I injured with canned goods around 15 years ago. One 1300 mg capsule and the foot appears normal. I have used a natto based supplement and found that joint pain has been relieved and the BP stays lower. Amazing how our food and basic herbs can heal us. Take good care, Dr. Health is wealth.

Thank you for being open minded, reasonably skeptical, and not just a cracked pot! There's so much whacky info out there, so it's nice to find someone who uses critical thinking.
I currently have critical Aortic Stenosis and am in the pre-op phase. I was diagnosed on February 14. I had read before about the benefits of natto. But I did not have access to any until 2 months ago. I eat natto on toast most mornings for breakfast.(6 times a week) My blood pressure has dropped 15 points on the systolic and 5 on the diastolic. I have few bouts of fainting. But that can be due to the fact that I have learned what it feels like before I pass out. My Aortic valve area has increased slightly from .3 mm2 to .44 mm2. The mean gradient reduced from 98 mmHg to 91 mmHg. Velocity went from 5.8 m/s to 4.9 m/s. The ejection fraction for both was 65%. They were done 38 days apart. That all could be the difference in the clinician and interpretation. I feel significantly better most days. I feel it's definitely worth a try. But I agree more research needs to be done.
Go and get the operation because out is the quick and reliable way of solving the problem and not dying and getting your full functionality back as well. Suggest choosing a bio replacement valve so you don’t need the blood thinners. Don’t be afraid of having a median sternotomy - it gets better quickly in my experience!
@@lorrainemullins6181 I am in the pre operative testing phase and am awaiting my surgery date. It's just taking a long time. I'm eating the natto in hopes my valve doesn't get more tight in the meantime.I am also hoping it may have some effect of preventing calcification of my new valve. Thanks for your concern.
Thank you for the video as I have recently started taking this within the past month after reading so much about it.. Before watching I thought that would probably be your analysis being there just is not hard data to back up the benefits you read about.. I assume the main thing is as long as it is safe to consume it can't hurt to give it a try.
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for the great info!
This is gold thank you doctor for this update & a new look at natural remedies
There exists a large population of natto eaters readily available in Japan to do retrospective studies compared to non natto eaters.... Wouldn't this solve the cohort problem? It is always good to see you, Dr.! Thank you for your channel.
There have been many studies like this. But results from these natto studies could be from Mk-7 (vitamin K2), which is also very important for heart health. Natto has the highest concentration of Mk-7 of any food on earth by far. So natto studies wouldn't exactly point to nattokinase, but more likely to Mk-7. Straight (extracted) nattokinase studies must be done.
I think we can all surmise the outcome of that study, if it ever were to happen. It’s common knowledge that Japanese and Asian people in general, live a much longer and healthier life than us westerners, despite the fact that a lot of the food they eat is fried. 🤷🏻♂️
Since most studies are funded by pharmaceutical companies, there is only money to be lost by studying and validating a simple, cheap, natural and readily available food can be used instead of an expensive pharmaceutical for improved health.
@@ohbaby-baby k2 blood clots, natto is anti coagulant. you need balance
@@yoyo21926 It makes sense the food Natto has this enzyme because it does have very high amounts of Mk-7. For balance as you say.
But the point I was making, was that studies on the food Natto, would more likely point to the benefits of Mk-7 than it would nattokinase. In studies looking at heart health.
I've been taking Nattokinase, since Dr. Sinatra recommend it in his 2007 book "Reverse Heart Disease Now! In addition to K2 with Mk7. After 3 heart attacks, five stents, back in the mid 2000's. I've been going strong ! Highly recommend it for heart health.
Do you also take any pharmaceutical anticoagulants ?
How much nattokinase you take daily ? Thank you.
I buy fermented soy natto at the japanese grocery store and I take silica , I am a Vegan I look 25 years youger than people my age -------Silica is an important component of collagen and connective tissue.Silica is absorbed quickly and easily. Used commonly throughout Germany for maintenance of youthful, healthy skin, hair and nails. Silicea Gel can be used externally for wrinkles, acne and blemishes or internally helping to replenish collagen supply and encourage skin elasticity. An excellent choice for those who are concerned with brittle nails, thin hair and prematurely aging skin.
Best silica come from Germany called " Hubner, Silicea Colloidal " is not cheap..but ista the best , no additives .
Thank you for sharing the info. Such a great doctor.
Doc your Humble Wisdom is Tops!!👍
Sir... excellent session....pls do a video on menopause with palpitations and ectopics...
This makes me think of the pharma studies on vitamin D where the always use a very low dose of vitamin D in their studies to show no benefit from vitamin D supplementation.
Thank you, Dr. Gupta, for contributing to a life saving conversation on the side of honesty.
I started eating natto about a month ago. Initially I tried it because the health evidence for helping with cardiovascular and bone health. After about 10 days of eating Natto from suppliers in the USA I found some videos on making natto in an insta pot, so I tried to make it last weekend. I found it very easy to make and really enjoyed making a batch of chickpea natto. It came out perfectly and I’ve been eating it daily all week. I’m really enjoying the natto and cannot wait to buy some soybeans and make some soybean natto. I posted a video on my channel of a clip showing my first batch of natto. So happy to have discovered this food. I’m sure it will do wonders for my health. Now if only to get the wife and kids onto this food. So far they haven’t shared my enthusiasm.
