Natto food - latest very interesting research I haven't posted for a while. For those of you like me and Colindo who regularly eat the Japanese fermented soyabean called natto this is some of the latest research into natto (the food NOT nattokinase!). Looks like Scientists are now taking natto seriously with the amount of new research. Natto is high in Polyamines like Spermidine and Spermine so looks like they are trying to increase the Polyamine levels in natto by experimenting with various cultures. Maybe we can get our hands on this new natto type in the future?

Natto is part of my diet. This study is interesting, it did not have any measurable effect on aortic valve calcification: [www.youtube.com]
Yes that's a disappointing result.
But then there is the Rotadam study which is much larger.

"The study shows that people who consumed most vitamin K2 through vitamin K2 rich foods (mainly fermented foods and meat from animals fed K3), had a 50% reduced risk of arterial calcification and also a 50% risk reduction for cardiovascular events during the study period."

The best way to eat natto is to take it from freezer to fridge for a few days then drench it in 20-30ml of olive oil.

The EVOO will increase the K2 bio-availability resulting in an increase of carboxolation of matrix GLA proteins.

I spread natto on a piece of toast then dribble two teaspoons of olive oil on top.
Only because it taste better.]]> colindo GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Wed, 20 Apr 2022 19:47:14 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,184203,185054#msg-185054 Re: Natto food - latest very interesting research https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,184203,185054#msg-185054

For a supplement, you'll be looking for nattokinase--the active fibrinolytic enzyme produced by the bacteria in natto food. There's a lot on this 'round the internet, but see:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6043915/

There's also a long history of valuable, in-depth discussions on nattokinase in this forum. You can use the search function above or try this search link.

So far as I know, the standard dosage is 2000 to 4000 FU twice a day on an empty stomach, one in the morning, one before going to bed.

As to brands, see this recent forum post:

Others may chime in with further info.

Hope this helps! Lance]]> ln108 GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Mon, 11 Apr 2022 15:32:56 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,184203,185003#msg-185003 Re: Natto food - latest very interesting research https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,184203,185003#msg-185003
