How Nattokinase and Serrapeptase Work Together in Your Body
Many people know about digestive enzymes that help break down the food you eat, but systemic enzymes do something entirely different. When absorbed into your bloodstream on an empty stomach, they operate like a dedicated cleanup crew traveling through your circulatory and lymphatic pathways.
Think of your blood vessels like clear-running streams: over time, microscopic debris made of an adhesive structural protein called fibrin can build up. While fibrin is needed to stop bleeding from cuts, excess fibrin can thicken your blood, make vessel walls stiff, and trap fluid in swollen, uncomfortable tissues.
1. Nattokinase: The Arterial Sweeper
Extracted from the traditional Japanese fermented food natto, nattokinase is a natural fibrin-dissolving specialist. It specifically identifies and slices through excessive, stubborn fibrin webs inside blood vessels, encouraging smooth arterial dilation, healthy blood viscosity, and balanced blood pressure.
2. Serrapeptase: The Debris & Mucus Dissolver
Originally discovered in the digestive tract of silkworms (now cleanly cultivated via friendly bacterial fermentation), serrapeptase safely digests dead tissue, inflammatory proteins, and thick mucus without harming living cells. It is widely praised for clearing nasal pathways and soothing irritated joint tissues.
The Scientific Evidence: Verified Peer-Reviewed Clinical Research
Unlike generic supplement blends based on guesswork, both nattokinase and serrapeptase are backed by extensive human clinical trials and biochemical evaluations:
✓ Direct Carotid Plaque and Artery Support
In a 12-month clinical study involving 1,062 human participants, daily nattokinase supplementation demonstrated substantial, statistically significant reductions in both carotid plaque thickness and carotid intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT), while promoting healthier lipid balances.

✓ Multi-Path Fibrin Dissolution & Blood Flow
Clinical evaluations demonstrate that oral nattokinase acts through multiple vascular protective pathways: it breaks down cross-linked fibrin networks directly, supports the body's natural tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), and reduces inhibitors that cause sluggish blood flow.

✓ Respiratory Secretion Breakdown & Sinus Comfort
Double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials show that serrapeptase (serratiopeptidase) thins dense nasal and bronchial mucus, allowing the respiratory system to flush out congested fluids quickly and restoring easy, unobstructed airflow through the sinuses.

Why Enteric Coating Is Essential for Enzyme Potency
Many ordinary enzyme supplements fail before they ever get the chance to work. Your stomach relies on strong digestive acid (pH 1.5 to 3.5) to dissolve protein. If delicate systemic enzymes like serrapeptase and nattokinase are unprotected, that harsh acid will destroy them, breaking them down into inactive amino acids.
How Solaray Protects Every Single VegCap:
Acid Armor: The specialized enteric capsule coating remains completely intact as it passes through the corrosive environment of your stomach.
Intestinal Release: Once the capsule reaches the neutral, slightly alkaline pH (6.8 to 7.4) of your small intestine, the coating gently dissolves.
Direct Absorption: Both enzymes enter your bloodstream in their full biological forms, delivering their active 3,000 FU and 60,000 units directly to your circulation.

How to Take for Maximum Results & Safety Precautions
Directions for Daily Use:
Take one (1) VegCap daily on an empty stomach with an 8-ounce glass of water. For best results, take it at least 60 minutes before your morning meal or two hours after eating. Taking systemic enzymes with food causes them to digest your food instead of working systemically inside your bloodstream.
Important afety & Medical Precautions:
Blood Thinners: Do NOT use this product without your doctor's supervision if you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (e.g., Warfarin, Coumadin, Eliquis, Plavix, Xarelto), or daily high-dose aspirin.
Upcoming Surgery: Discontinue use at least 14 days before any surgical or dental procedure to avoid prolonged bleeding times.
Bleeding Disorders: Do not take if you have a history of bleeding conditions, ulcers, or active internal lesions.
Pregnancy & Nursing: Consult a physician prior to use if pregnant or nursing, as human safety trials are currently limited.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Nattokinase and Serrapeptase?
While both are protein-cleaving systemic enzymes, they specialize in different areas. Nattokinase primarily focuses on cardiovascular health by clearing away excess fibrin webs in blood vessels, preventing thick sluggish blood, and maintaining arterial elasticity. Serrapeptase is broader, specializing in clearing dead cellular debris, soothing joint irritation, and liquefying dense mucous fluids in congested sinuses and airways.
Why must I take Nattokinase and Serrapeptase on an empty stomach?
If you consume these enzymes with food, they will immediately begin breaking down the proteins in your meal, acting as digestive aids. To support your cardiovascular, circulatory, and sinus health, the enzymes must remain unattached so they can pass into your small intestine, absorb directly into your bloodstream, and circulate throughout your body.
What does FU mean on a nattokinase supplement label?
"FU" stands for Fibrinolytic Units. It is an internationally recognized scientific measurement of the enzyme's active potency — specifically its ability to dissolve fibrin. Milligrams (mg) only tell you the physical weight of the powder in the capsule, whereas FU verifies how active and effective the enzyme is. Solaray provides 3,000 FU per serving, surpassing standard 2,000 FU formulas.
Can I take Nattokinase and Serrapeptase with prescription blood thinners?
No, not unless you are under the direct supervision of your physician or cardiologist. Because nattokinase naturally thins and clears circulatory pathways, taking it alongside medications like warfarin, Eliquis, Plavix, or high-dose aspirin can increase your chance of bleeding or bruising.
How quickly will I notice the benefits of Nattokinase and Serrapeptase?
For sinus drainage and clearer nasal airways, many people notice positive changes within 3 to 7 days. For cardiovascular goals like healthy arterial flexibility, balanced blood pressure, and long-term circulatory support, clinical studies evaluate benefits over 8 to 26 weeks of consistent daily usage.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. VitaNet® LLC reminds customers that dietary supplements must be used responsibly and under the supervision of a licensed physician, especially when managing cardiovascular or circulatory health conditions.
