This scientist found nattokinase. At 10,800 FU daily, it reversed arterial plaque in 66.5% of patients over 12 months, with no side effects. The rest of the data is even more insane. Researchers tracked 1,062 people with confirmed hyperlipidemia and carotid artery plaque. These weren't just healthy volunteers. Every person had an ultrasound at the start and another after 12 months of daily nattokinase. The study used two dose groups: 3,600 FU and 10,800 FU per day. The low-dose group saw almost no change in their plaque or lipid markers. Even though it was the same supplement for the same amount of time, the dose made the difference. At 10,800 FU, carotid artery plaque shrank by up to 36%. The arterial wall thickness decreased by 21.7% on average. These are physical, structural changes that doctors measured and confirmed on ultrasound. 77.7% of participants showed measurable improvement in arterial wall thickness. 66.5% showed measurable reduction in plaque size. Improvement rates across all markers ranged from 66.5% to 95.4% for the majority of over 1,000 people, not some few lucky responders. The participants lipid results moved in every right direction simultaneously. - Total cholesterol: down - LDL: down - Triglycerides: down - HDL: up No adverse effects were recorded at any point across the full 12 months. Lifestyle also amplified everything. Participants walking more than 5,000 steps daily responded better than sedentary ones, and those with higher BMI saw larger relative improvements, likely because they started from a higher risk baseline where there was more room to move. The study also tested co-administration. Vitamin K2 and low-dose aspirin taken alongside nattokinase produced a synergistic effect, outperforming nattokinase alone across cardiovascular markers. If you're building a stack, that's the combination the data points to. The researchers found the effective range is 6,000 to 12,000 FU daily. Most supplements in Europe are only 2,000 FU. That's a huge gap. The data shows 2,000 FU does almost nothing to plaque, while 10,800 FU actually shrinks it. All in all, truly an incredible enzyme.
