Aliness Nattokinase NSK-SD® is a dietary supplement containing a patented and thoroughly tested NSK-SD® nattokinase enzyme, obtained from natto - a traditional dish made from fermented soybeans, popular in Japan and referred to as ‘health for the heart’. In view of the varied preferences of customers, the manufacturer has placed active substances in convenient, easy-to-swallow capsules with high bioavailability.

Nattokinase derived from fermented soy extract is an enzyme with fibrinolytic properties. This means that it is involved in the breaking down of blood clots that are formed in the vessels and block their lumen, what could lead to dangerous embolic complications. In addition, nattokinase has antihypertensive properties and has the potential to inhibit the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Antithrombotic prophylaxis
With age and unhealthy lifestyle, slow degeneration and gradual deterioration of cardiovascular function occurs. There is a narrowing of the vascular walls, degeneration of the heart valve apparatus and an increase in the concentration of factors responsible for blood coagulation. In such circumstances, it is not difficult to develop arterial embolism, which can be disastrous and result in a stroke or heart attack.

Nattokinase may reduce the risk of thromboembolic events. Its action is based primarily on the distribution of fibrin, which is the main component of the resulting thrombotic plaque, taken with the bloodstream.

In addition, Nattokinase also significantly reduces the level of fibrinogen, which is the substance produced by the liver from which aforementioned fibrin is formed. The anti-thrombotic effect is thus obtained thanks to two mechanisms of action.

Regulation of blood pressure
Hypertension is a disease that affects a very large part of people over 50 years of age. Very often, the cause of hypertension is difficult or impossible to find, and a treatment to normalize blood pressure is necessary. Many people, due to the lack of symptoms in the initial phase, ignore the recommendations, which leads to the progression of the disease. With time, it leads, among others to multi-organ failure (kidney, cardiac muscle), hemorrhagic brain stroke, or even dementia.

There are many substances in the body that are capable of raising blood pressure. Nattokinase has been shown to inhibit the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Interestingly, ACE is the uptake point of the extremely effective drugs in the therapy of hypertension. Inhibition of ACE activity reduces the production of angiotensin II, thus preventing the development of the aforementioned serious complications.

In support of the above facts, it is worth mentioning that the action of nattokinase has been confirmed by research - it has been shown that it allows to lower blood pressure on average by 2-5 mmHg (diastolic), even up to 5-10 mmHg (systolic).

Prevention of neurodegeneration processes
With age the nervous system structures degenerate, what leads to disturbance of the homeostasis of the body. Various factors contribute to this, and one of them is individual genetic susceptibility.

Dementia affects many elderly people, and the most common form is Alzheimer's disease (AD, Alzheimer Disease). During its course at the molecular level the deposition of abnormal protein - beta-amyloid is characteristic, which interferes with the function of nerve cells. It has been observed that the use of nattokinase may delay the development of AD due to decreased accumulation of abnormal proteins by nerve cells.

In summary, Aliness Nattokinase NSK-SD® is a high-quality preparation recommended for people who want to enjoy the health benefits of eating traditional Japanese food. The product is primarily aimed at supporting the proper functioning of the circulatory system and general health prophylaxis.
