Natto is a cheese- like food which is made of soybeans which have been fermented with a bacterium called Bacillus Subtilis. Natto has been consumed as a traditional food in Asian countries for several thousand years and Natto consumption is believed to be a significant contributor to the longevity of the japanese. For a long time, it was not very clear to scientists as to why Natto consumption was linked with good cardiovascular health. In 1987, there was a breakthrough when it was discovered that Natto contained a potent enzyme called Nattokinase and perhaps it was the Nattokinase in the Natto that was responsible for the benefits seen. Incidentally Natto is also a very good source of vitamin K2 and I have recently done a video on the benefits of Vit K2 on heart health. The dose of Nattokinase is measured in FU – fibrinolytic units. 50g of Natto has about 1500 FU of nattokinase in it. There have been many experiments done to study the benefits of Nattokinase but most of these have been done in test-tubes and animals (rats). There have been very few studies done in human beings and this is why one has to be very careful in assuming that all the benefits that have been purported in lab studies could also apply to humans. In any case, I will share what we know about Nattokinase so far.  Continued below the vid

Nattokinase, a natural systemic enzyme supplement has been available to the public since the 1990’s. Clinical research on the effectiveness of Nattokinase and blood pressure, circulation, blood viscosity, spike protein breakdown, deep vein thrombosis, cholesterol, and atherosclerosis is very promising. There is a long list of nattokinase health benefits as well. Consumers have been supplementing with Nattokinase to help support healthy blood flow and circulation, normal blood pressure, inflammation, and immune function. In this video, I’ll be reviewing some of the amazing benefits, and one of the newest studies on this natural, safe dietary supplement.  Continued below the video

Vitamin K2: The Surprising Benefits From Your Heart to Your Bones

The Unheralded Role of Vitamin K2 in Combating Heart Disease: A Closer Look

Vitamin K, typically known for its crucial role in blood clotting, has a less recognized yet incredibly significant variant known as Vitamin K2. This subtype has recently gained much attention in the scientific and medical community for its potential role in the prevention and management of heart disease. Unveiling the details of Vitamin K2’s mechanisms may unlock a new and vital strategy in the fight against cardiovascular ailments, a leading cause of mortality worldwide.

Vitamin K2, unlike its relative Vitamin K1, is primarily found in fermented foods, cheese, and meat, particularly in organ meats and certain types of fish. It is also produced by our gut bacteria, painting a picture of how important a balanced microbiome might be for heart health.

In a nutshell, Vitamin K2 is believed to work by directing calcium to the appropriate areas in the body. It is a catalyst for proteins that inhibit calcification in the arteries and other soft tissues, a process commonly known as “hardening of the arteries,” which can lead to cardiovascular disease.

Researchers found, the one quarter with the highest intakes of vitamin K2 were 28% less likely to have died of any one of the 22 different cancers than the one-quarter of men and women with the lowest intakes of the vitamin.

Vitamin K2 and Heart Disease: A Bi-directional Relationship

Perhaps the most compelling research on Vitamin K2 and heart health is linked to its role in calcium metabolism. This essential vitamin activates a protein known as Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), an inhibitor of vascular calcification. In the absence or deficiency of Vitamin K2, this protein remains inactive, and calcium can deposit in the artery walls, leading to atherosclerosis.

A large-scale study conducted in the Netherlands, known as The Rotterdam Study, highlighted the significance of Vitamin K2 in heart health. The study involved nearly 5,000 participants and showed that high dietary intake of Vitamin K2 – not K1 – was strongly associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease.

Another noteworthy study in 2015 published in Thrombosis and Haemostasis indicated that for every 10 micrograms of dietary Vitamin K2 consumed, the risk of coronary heart disease was reduced by 9 percent.

Have you ever wondered how much vitamin D you should take daily to achieve a 50 ng/mL level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D?

This table is likely the best available (source: https://t.co/D3bjF6qzA9). Ensure that you take it in conjunction with 200mcg of K2-MK7 and 200mg of magnesium. pic.twitter.com/cuNJryeoyQ

The Future of Vitamin K2 Research

As our understanding of Vitamin K2’s role in heart health continues to evolve, researchers are calling for more comprehensive studies to establish definitive guidelines regarding the intake of this vital nutrient. Nevertheless, the mounting evidence cannot be ignored, suggesting that incorporating Vitamin K2-rich foods into our diets or considering supplementation may be beneficial.

A few quotes from respected researchers:

Dr. Johanna Geleijnse, a researcher from the Wageningen University in the Netherlands and one of the scientists involved in the Rotterdam study, stated, “These findings may give us a clear understanding of the protective effect of Vitamin K2 on our cardiovascular system. It highlights the importance of dietary sources of this nutrient and suggests that it may be a key player in heart health.”

Simon Says: Always supplement Vit D together with Vitamin K2-MK7 to avoid the risk of calcification in the arteries & soft tissues. Vit D helps the body absorb calcium, but without K2, calcium can accumulate in the wrong places, leading to health problems. https://t.co/B3W4skDHba

Dr. Cees Vermeer, a globally renowned Vitamin K researcher, has expressed, “We are only at the beginning of understanding the full spectrum of benefits that Vitamin K2 offers. Its role in cardiovascular health is clear, but there’s so much more we need to uncover. However, the link between Vitamin K2 intake and heart disease prevention is undeniable.”

Finally, as pointed out by Dr. Sarah Booth, director of the Vitamin K Laboratory at the USDA, “The relationship between Vitamin K2 and heart health underscores the critical role of nutrition in disease prevention. It’s a stark reminder that a balanced diet goes a long way in maintaining overall health.”

While more research is needed, the potential health benefits of Vitamin K2 in combating heart disease are promising. It serves as a crucial reminder of the complex interplay of diet, nutrients, and health and how much we still have to learn. For now, it might be worth thinking about including more Vitamin K2 in your diet or discussing supplementation with your healthcare provider.
