Neprinol - has anyone experience with this new version of enzymes?

My Doctor in Canada has suggested a new version of enzymes called Neprinol. She sells this brand in her clinic and states that it has been reformulated to replace Nattokinase in Canada.

The label reads "A proprietary combination of systemic enzymes including serrapeptase, bromelain, papain, and lipase. These enzymes were specifically formulated to support a healthy inflammatory response...... Neprinol can help maintain normal fibrin, blood viscosity, and joint health." The capsules are 500mg and it says to take 1 to 3 of them.

I am currently in a no mans land with anticoagulants. My holter test came back OK, so I have made the decision to stop the Xeralto. I am waiting 36 hours and then having blood tests tomorrow morning for the markers mentioned above by Jackie. This test is not from Meridian, but rather through our Canadian health care. As soon as the blood test is done I intend to start on either Nattokinase (which I have one bottle of, but not sure I could get more) or Neprinol.

Does anyone have any experience with Neprinol?? or thoughts on what I should be using.

I am not getting a lot of good direction from my doctor.

Interestingly, I have had a very strong, hard heart beat since going on Xeralto. I could be fooling myself, but it seems to be resolving somewhat since ending the Xeralto

Ron - a lot will depend on your markers. Neprinol was out back when I began the search for an effective fibrinolytic. What I learned is that for my purposes which was to make sure that the tendency for fibrin to become elevated was best managed by the pure Nattokinase in a consistent, optimal dose (2,000 fibrinolytic units) 3 times a day for 24-hour coverage. That saw me through the rugged times of 24/7 afib and through the LAA clot after cardioversion (post-ablation). Ten plus years later, it is still keeping me safe.

As time went on and just because of the aging factor and again for a preventive measure, I've added serrapeptase separately and I also use the Curcumin (C3) complex to make sure inflammation stays low.... along with a combo product called Inflammatone that contains Protease, Trypsin, Serrizimes, Chymotrypsin, Tumeric, Boswellia, Ginger Extract, Quercetin, Rutin and Rosemary extract.

The new, improved Nattokinase... (Cardiokinase)....has been out for quite some time and should also be a consideration. I believe Shannon has posted on it in the past. A lot of nattokinase products don't contain enough of the enzyme. Read here: [www.pureprescriptions.com]

Once you know your marker results, you'll be able to target specifically those that are elevated, or if none, then select a quality product known to help prevent advese clotting.

Keep in mind that magnesium is the core nutrient that helps prevent cardiac fibrosis because when there is magnesium deficiency, the endogenous enzymes that naturally lyse away and keep fibrosis low can't be produced. The body needs magnesium to produce the enzymes.

Two factors... blood hyper-viscosity and the actual cardic fibrosis or tissue that interferes with electrical conduction pathways and results in arrhythmia. Two separate targets for enzymes.

I'll be interested in your test results.

Be well,
Jackie

Thanks Jackie - I will be sure to let you know when I get the results.

Does anyone have information on shipping Nattokinase into Canada?

Ron

Ron,

As far as I know iherb still ships it to Canada. You can order it through the afibbers.org vitamin shop at [www.afibbers.org]

Hans

I just got some from Iherb

Adrian

Please repeat -- what are the tests for the markers? What are the markers? Thank you.

Iatrogenia - do an 'advanced' search here for the topic Red Flags to Beat the Odds... it's an old post that gives the markers we should monitor to stay healthy. They are not routinely ordered and you have to work with a practitioner of advanced medicine or convince the one you have that you'd like to have these done. I'm in a rush or I'd do it right now.

Jackie

Took some doing, Red Flags to Beat the Odds is from 2004. Here it is
