Nattokinase and Endometriosis

Where Nattokinase Comes From
Nattokinase comes from Natto, a Japanese food, and is an enzyme that has been purified and extracted from Natto. Natto is made from fermented soybeans. The Japanese have been eating this soybean food for nearly one thousand years. During fermentation of Natto, soybeans are boiled with the bacterium, Bacillus natto -- a good bacteria -- to produced the desired enzyme. As the soybeans are boiled the bacterium chemically changes the soybeans and produces Nattokinase. It is true that other soybean produces contain beneficial enzymes, but Nattokinase is the only soybean product to have the benefits that can assist endometriosis and other illnesses.

Nattokinase the Enzyme
The human body needs three different types of enzymes to function: digestive enzymes, food enzymes, and metabolic enzymes. In the past Nattokinase was believed to be a digestive enzyme only, but through years of research doctors have found that it is naturally effective as a metabolic enzyme also. This makes it even more beneficial to the human body.

Why Nattokinase Is Used
People with chronic pain are often prescribed daily aspirin therapy. The aspirin acts as a blood thinner. Aspirin also is proven effective in preventing cardiovascular disease. Nattokinase is the alternative medicine form of aspirin therapy. Because it is produced from natural bacterium and soybeans and contains natural enzymes, Nattokinase is often called a healthier aspirin therapy.

Unlike aspirin, Nattokinase is not proven to be effective in preventing cardiovascular disease. It is dangerous to take both Nattokinase and aspirin together as they can increase the risk of an intracranial hemorrhage. However there is evidence that Nattokinase is effective in treating some forms of Alzheimer's Disease by working as a catabolism of toxic amyloid fibrils.

Extensive research has recently shown that Nattokinase is able to support different illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, angina, thrombosis, venous stasis, atherosclerosis, emboli, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, retinal pathology, claudication, hemorrhoid, soft tissue rheumatisms, varicose veins, hypertension, tissue oxygen deprivation, infertility, and gynecology conditions like uterine fibroids and endometriosis.

How Nattokinase Works
Users believe that Nattokinase helps dissolve abnormal blood clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes. It can also assist in treating pulmonary embolisms, phlebitis, and deep vein thrombosis.

Nattokinase theoretically dissolves the small fibers, called fibrin, that are the strong mesh structures in blood clots. Streptokinase and urokinase work the same way when used intravenously after a stroke or heart attack. Nattokinase is taken orally and is said to last longer. Aspirin causes blood cells to be come less sticky in the blood stream to reduce clots. Nattokinase works the same way in preventing fibrin strands from forming clots.

Nattokinase and Endometriosis
Because Nattokinase safely breaks down blood clots, it also has the ability to break down adhesions formed by endometriosis. These adhesions are scar tissues on the bowel from constantly bleeding that is associated with endometriosis. Fibrovan is a supplement often prescribed for the treatment of endometriosis that contains Nattokinase. Because of the complex forms of Nattokinase in Fibrvan, this supplement can last in the human body from anywhere between eight to twelve hours over other supplements that last two to three hours.
