I'm still under educated when it comes to cholesterol and bringing my numbers down. My numbers are not bad but I could bring my LDL's down. I just do not want to go on synthetics and my doctor is pushing it on me. I told him I would bring my numbers down. He told me to stop eating eggs and coconut based foods. For about 5 years I have always tried to reason with him about my coconut intake. He is old school and unfortunately I can not just go out and get a new doctor with my insurance plan.

Here are my numbers and I'm well aware you are not allowed to diagnose but I do have questions in regards to NK and how to take it properly. I did order the Arthur Andrew Supplement and for the last week have been taking 3 capsules about an hour after taking my thyroid prescription.

• HDL: 97
• LDL: 112
• VLDL: 8
• TRIGLYCERIDES: 47
• TOTAL CHOLESTEROL : 242

I'm curious how one should take the supplements. Roughly 3 equal the amount needed for NK to work, so does one take these all at once, or can it be divided throughout the day?

It also seems taking high doses all at once can upset the intestines, which is not fun. I'm also wondering, when it suggests taking on an empty stomach, how long one needs to wait to eat.

Since my cholesterol is high, it has affected my TSH (5.82) and its out of range and so is my Glucose levels (103).

My Endo upped my Armour Thyroid from 30mg to 45mg 3 times a week to try and normalize it.

I need to take my Armour Thyroid on an empty stomach and wait an hour before consuming foods.

My confusion really is, since I cant take NK with other supplements/prescriptions, and need to take on an empty stomach, I need to go about 2 hours after waking to not eat?? It’s already overkill waiting an hour.

My other question is, how long does one take NK for? Do you stop taking high doses once your numbers go down, or stop taking for a period of time or is this like taking medication that you need to take them every day to maintain?

Armour Thyroid is the only prescription medication I am on.

I do take an array of other supplements including a high quality fish oil.

I do have one more question and below, I will recap them so they don't get lost in my message post.

Thank You!

• If you are taking 3 NK supplements to equal about 10,000 FU, do you take them all at once or can it be divided?
• How long to wait to eat or take medication after taking doses of NK?
• How long does one take NK for?
• Do you need to change your diet completely like give up eggs. I mean eggs with yolk.

Question for Art Regarding His Lab Results

Lonnie (VA) on 12/04/2023


Hi Art, I enjoyed your article. The last two lab results you posted on always confuse me. I have asked my provider what they mean, and they dismiss my questions and just say, lets watch it. Can you bring more clarity to VLDL and Non-HDL?

Thanks!

Where to Buy High FU Nattokinase

RedCardinal (St Paul USA) on 12/02/2023


High FU Nattokinase

So glad I got the notice of this article today. I ordered the best nattokinase I could find ~ organic and high FU count for my thick blood and clots (of course, not wanting to take blood thinners as they give me a headache).

So yesterday, I found out I have very high cholesterol and triglycerides from my doctor and she wanted to put me on statins. (which I wasn't comfortable with).

Your report is exactly what I needed. I just received my Nattokinase.
If you're looking for organic and high potency FU nattokinase, I ordered 500 grams of Organic (made with organic soybeans from Brazil) 20,000 FU/gram powder from VitaMondo (it takes about a month to get it) at apx. $73. (way less expensive than buying that much premade, low potency capsules)

I am going to make my own capsules, they should be enteric coated (so they dissolve in the small intestine to get absorbed, not the stomach (acid) where they would just act like a normal enzyme).

I figured out to get 10,800 FU per day (1 cap 2x day/morning & evening) you would put 270 mg in each capsule (.27 grams each).

I look forward to taking for 6 mos and seeing my test results for differences.

P.S. - I am sharing the order with a couple friends one with blood clots and severe atherosclerosis, because this amount will last a good long time (taking just over 1/2 grams per day)

K2 Question for Art

Lora (Valley Springs AR) on 12/01/2023


I have had stent surgeries but they keep blocking requiring more surgeries. For years I have been on Nattokinase, niacinamide and ubiquinol plus K2. Your article indicates your great lab results also using grape seed. I have not been taking the larger doses so realize this is my problem. My concern is taking K2 while on a dose of Plavix and 81 mg aspirin. Does the K2 as a coagulant create additional blockage?

Re: CoQ10/Ubiquinol Not Helpful for Lowering Cholesterol

Deb (MN) on 12/01/2023


Hello Art,

Please don't dismiss the importance of coq10 or ubiqionol. My daughter recovered from postpartum cardiomyopathy. She took a minimum of 800 mgs a day, along with other supplements. I know your article is about cholesterol, but people may get the wrong idea about the use of coq10. Thank you for your article! I'm taking all of the ones you suggested.
