Nattokinase Interactions

For those of you that have researched Nattokinase, Can you take it with the NOAC's, like Eliquis or Zarelto? Or is there an issue with Statins? I have heard of an issue with Warfarin, involving the Vit K issue.

I did some tests some years ago and although nattokinase thinned my blood it is nothing compared to Pradaxa which I am taking now. (I have just had an ablation)
So, I would expect nattokinase would have very little effect.
I was eating natto while taking Pradaxa up until a week before my ablation with no effect and will resume in a couple of weeks.

There is an issue with Statins, in that they interfere with the production of vitamin K2

Colindo, how do you know how much it thinned your blood?

Anti-Fib, why take natto if you're already on a NOAC?

I carried out some tests with and without nattokinase by launching my finger with a size D launce, and timed how long it took to stop bleeding.
I timed this by dabbing finger on blotting paper every 10 seconds.There was a noticeable difference.
Also when i went for a blood test I was asked if I was taking blood thinners.


BTW natto is not nattokinase.

The reason for eating natto is for the large amounts of vitamin K2 and the other large nutrition benefits.

I know that. I was just using it as an abbreviation.
