Let me tell you a story John. I have a dear friend who has been my therapist many times through shoulder and knee surgeries. She's a dear. Anyway she took the jabs. She had heart problems, but thankfully they passed. I put her on Nattokinase a long time ago, actually took her a bottle. She started taking it and a few months or so later she had a checkup with her internist. Her blood tests for whatever problems she has came back much, much better than they had been. The doc asked her if she was taking anything different and she told him about Dr. McCullough and Nattokinase. He said, "KEEP TAKING IT." So your good advice has been spread wide. I not only tell people about it, I buy them a bottle of it.

I love natto and have eaten it for years to discourage blood clots from my chronic high platelets from Essential Thrombocythemia. Here is some information on natto and nattokinase. First, nattokinase capsules do not necessary contain nattokinase at all. See the Japanese Nattokinase Society study of several brands on their website: https://j-nattokinase.org/en/.

I prefer eating natto itself although it is impossible to quantify the amount of nattokinase, but then you get everything else too. You can buy natto frozen in Asian stores. It will be labeled by its little flavoring packet containing every chemical known to man and then some. You can throw out the packet and just eat the natto. An excellent source is by mail to your doorstep from Rhapsody Foods in Vermont. It is excellent. OR you can make natto yourself. All natto aficionados start with the website and Youtube videos of NattoDad. I use Laura's small organic soy beans, a few tablespoons of left over natto from Rhapsody Foods for starter, and the temperature/time controlled Luvele yogurt maker. Then I freeze it in paper cups from Dollar Tree. This is very economical but requires some work. To judge the quality of the natto, stir it about 10 or more times to see how the "neba neba" develops. This is the stringy slimy substance, perhaps not attractive or rather perhaps repulsive to some people. All in all, natto is great.
