Does anyone use or take Natto (nattokinase)?

Question

I know it is a fermented soy product eaten in Japan and has great blood-thinning and clot dissolving properties. Does anyone use it or eat it? Is the pill form as good as the food?

Answer 1

I've bought the pill form before and used it. I know it's supposed to be great for the blood, getting rid of excess fibrin, etc. but I can't say that it really did anything for me.

On the other hand, my doctor keeps telling me that despite my age, weight and other health issues, I have a relatively low risk of heart disease based on the tests they ran. Maybe the nattokinase helped, maybe it didn't. Either way, I'm glad I'm a low risk right now.
