Nattokinase is a serine protease, which has many functions, such as reducing blood viscosity, improving blood circulation, softening blood vessels, increasing blood vessel elasticity and so on, and has a protective effect on the body. Generally, people who are more suitable for eating nattokinase are mainly:
1, people with high work pressure and low immunity.
People with busy work and life have an unbalanced diet and eat more foods with high oil, high salt and low fiber, which will easily lead to heavy physical burden, poor metabolism and low immunity for a long time. Taking nattokinase health food can regulate physiological metabolism and improve immunity.
2. Patients with metabolic syndrome and myocardial infarction
Nattokinase can reduce the content of cholesterol in blood, dissolve thrombus, help activate enzymes in the body and accelerate metabolism, which is suitable for the prognosis and maintenance of patients with metabolic syndrome and myocardial infarction.
3. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Middle-aged people suffering from arteriosclerosis and stroke have sclerosis because cholesterol in blood will attach to the arterial wall, which will thicken the arterial wall, lose its elasticity and make the lumen smaller, leading to blood circulation disorder. Therefore, nattokinase can be taken properly to protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
4, Alzheimer's disease prevention population
Most of the "vascular dementia" that often occurs in the elderly is caused by blood clots blocking cerebral microvasculature, so taking nattokinase can dissolve blood clots and prevent dementia. In addition, "Alzheimer's disease" is also a degenerative dementia, which is related to abnormal accumulation of brain starch plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Taking nattokinase can decompose this starch plaque and help prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Tips: Nattokinase is a health product, not a medicine, and cannot be used to treat diseases. The above people can take nattokinase products in moderation, but they should not be taken as drugs.
Second, what are the unfavorable groups of nattokinase?
Although nattokinase is good, not everyone can eat it. For some people who are not suitable for taking nattokinase, there may be some side effects. The people who are not suitable for eating nattokinase are mainly:
1, pregnant women, lactating women and children
Because of the lack of evidence about the safety of nattokinase, doctors usually do not recommend children or pregnant or lactating women to take nattokinase.
2. People with unhealed wounds
Nattokinase has a strong anticoagulant effect. If it is given to patients who have just had surgery or the wound has not healed, it will easily cause wound bleeding. Therefore, it is forbidden to eat nattokinase when the wound has not healed.
3. People who take certain drugs
If you take some drugs regularly, tell your doctor before starting to use nattokinase supplements. Drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen will react with nattokinase, which may lead to excessive bleeding and bruising.
