Covid-19 is estimated to have killed approximately 7 million people since it was found in 2019/2020 until today or just over 4 years.
Atherosclerosis, the main cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) dwarfs all of the deaths from Covid-19 since it was detected and tracked. In just one year, accounting for over 30% of deaths in the world or approximately 18 million deaths per year, atherosclerosis is far and away much deadlier than Covid-19 ever was. Seven million deaths in just over 4 years for Covid-19 compared to atherosclerosis at approximately 18 million deaths in just one year!
For a bit more perspective, the death toll from atherosclerosis is predicted to increase each year, but assuming it stays at approximately 18 million deaths per year for the next 4 years, that will be about 72, 000, 000 deaths over a 4 year period compared to 7 million Covid-19 deaths over a similar 4 year period. That is greater than 10 times the death toll of Covid-19! Excuse me while I go take my nattokinase.

Art, aren't the two related? Since covid can cause heart disease? And the Vax also brought on heart disease as well?Replied by Art from California on 02/21/2024
Hi Hollyhock,Yes, I guess related in the sense that they are both promoters of atherosclerosis(AS) and CVD, but there are many promoters of AS and CVD in many things we eat, drink or are exposed to in life.
I am looking at it in terms of nattokinase, GSPE and vitamin K2M7 potentially ameliorating the atherosclerotic and CVD aspects of all of it in order to avoid becoming another AS or CVD statistic.

I've tried serrapeptase, nattokinase, lumbrokinase, not once, few times, regularly take full spectrum vitamin K+D+ everything that goes with that for full absorption.It had zero effect on my cardio markers (Cardio IQ test and other tests) - I am a walking heart attack my doctor had said.
No, I have no genetic polymorphisms related to CVD or other genetic conditions.
I am 110lb, eat no gluten or sugar.
P.S. IP6 gold supplement does decrease my very high numbers. Interestingly, since I do have elevated bilirubin (harmless, they say), it goes down as well. Scientists should study the correlation of cardio markers and bilirubin. By the way bilirubin is a very strong antioxidant.

Hi Maria,The the study used Nattokinase at a high dose of 10, 800 FU per day for a full year, to very good effect in terms of lowering cholesterol, triglycerides, atherosclerosis, while raising HDL cholesterol. They also found that a dose of 3, 600 FU per day had no effect on the mentioned parameters. You didn't say what dose of nattokinase you used and for how long you used it. The majority of nattokinase supplements are only 2000 FU per capsule while some are only 1000 FU per capsule and the study dose would require more than 5 of these 2000 FU capsules per day to reach 10, 800 or more than 10 of the 1000 FU capsules per day to reach the study dose.
They also found that a low dose of vitamin K2M7 at only 180 mcg per day was additive to the high dose nattokinase in terms of improving the mentioned parameters.
My personal experience showed that nattokinase and vitamin K2M7 very significantly lowered my cholesterol numbers and triglycerides into the normal range.

I had a higher Blood pressure than you have probably ever heard of. I started doing a lot of things to reduce it so all I take now is a low dose of bp med. Not sure what lowered it so much but here is a list of what I did. Quit drinking alcohol, started walking about 2 miles a day Started fasting once a week, Started eating approximatly 2 grams of cayanne pre day, Started lifting weights high reps. I also take Nattokinase, Serrapeptase, K2, D3. My high blood pressure was so high it scared me into doing all of the above. The reading that scared me was taken in the morning after a hot shower when it should be the lowest. My bp machine wouldn't ever register the first several times. so I relaxed for 5 minutes. When it finally registered, it was 245/190. Now it is around 130/70.Replied by Bronna from SC on 05/03/2024
Hi there....I was tested recently for calcium buildup and it's very high....was told about Natto from a friend and I was going to order the beans but after reading all this....I'm going to get the supplements. Have you seen Davinci Nattokinase that is 20,000FU? I'm going to wait until I hear back from this before I order. I'm thinking 1 of those daily is all I would need.

Hi Bronna,I have heard of DaVinci Nattokinase, but have not used it. The main point of the article was that 10, 800 FU was an effective dose of nattokinase for atherosclerosis. The DaVinci product requires two capsules per serving, but that delivers 20, 000 FU plus Serrapeptase and Rutin also.
I tried to stay close to the study dose and took 10, 000 FU per day. If you are going to try and follow the study dose, one capsule should be sufficient. I have not seen any studies using 20, 000 FU of nattokinase and wonder what they were basing that dose on. For me personally, I would not take that high of a dose since there are no studies to support it and 10, 800 FU of nattokinase has shown itself to be an effective dose for the purpose.
