The Japanese have an easy solution to many cardiovascular problems. They eat “natto”, which are fermented soy beans.

Natto is often considered an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and sticky, slimy texture. However, its healthy component, called nattokinase, found in the fermentation slime, is odorless, tasteless, and usually put in a hard shelled capsule which is easy to swallow.

And is readily available online, as well as being inexpensive.

Nattokinase (NK), known as a potent fibrinolytic and antithrombotic agent, has been shown to have antiatherosclerotic and lipid-lowering effects.

The lipid-lowering effect of NK was more prominent in subjects who smoked, drank alcohol, and subjects with higher BMI. Regular exercise further improved the effects of NK. Co-administration of vitamin K2 and aspirin with NK produced a synergetic effect.

No noticeable adverse effects associated with the use of NK were recorded.
