Nattokinase Side Effects

Nattokinase has been used for at least that last 20 years as a blood clot thinner without a lot of side effects; however, there is information of problems in the literature that can only be blamed on Nattokinase side effects. This is from something that had it begins in Japan, several hundred years ago, in the fermenting of a soybean sitting on a pile of straw. It has been eaten by the Japanese for all of this time and has worked its way into the culture of that fairly old country.

  The vast majority of the recommended uses of Nattokinase is by patients who do not take Coumadin or other anticoagulants. A doctor should be consulted if the patient is taking these as well as Warfarin.

  

What are some of the actual Nattokinase Side Effects?

  There have been reports of patients using aspirin for stroke prevention, taking 400 mg Nattokinase for seven days and developing a cerebella hemorrhage. This is one of the Nattokinase side effects that has been repeated in several different studies over the years and does indicate that an increased rate of inter-cerebral hemorrhages may occur in patients who are bleeding prone and are receiving other thinners at the same time.

  Another study has been reported about a gentleman who started Coumadin while in the hospital. After returning home, his herbalist began him on a standard Nattokinase dosage. The patient stopped taking his Coumadin after three weeks and went to his doctor's office with shortness of breath and chest pains. A large sadal pulmonary embolism killed him within ten minutes of his arrival. The Nattokinase side effects, the write up by the doctor indicated that, in his opinion, patients with clotting disorders or factors S, C or V Leiden should not be given any Nattokinase dosage.

  

What kinds of general warnings are associated with Nattokinase?

  Since Nattokinase side effects are associated with bleeding and bleeding disorders, uses of this natural material should be foregone if this is in the patient's history.

  Pregnancy: There is not as much known about the possible Nattokinase side effects during this period or during breastfeeding, however, because of this, it should be avoided during this time.

  Surgery: The natural tendency of this supplement to help in the clot thinning and blood thinning might have an adverse effect on the outcome of any invasive surgeries and should be eliminated from your medicine courses for about two weeks before surgery. Any Nattokinase side effects, here, would be disastrous.

  Any supplement or drug that is suggested to you should be taken up with your doctor before being used, especially if there is not enough information about it to adequately understand what you are putting in our body and/or what it can do to you and the only heart, or brain, you have. Nattokinase side effects can be life threatening.
