Lumbrokinase Nattokinase Serrapeptase

Description

Vinatura’s Lumbrokinase Nattokinase Serrapeptase is a combination of three natural enzymes that have been used as dietary supplements for decades. 

Lumbrokinase, a fibrinolytic enzyme obtained from earthworms and historically used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is believed to function by breaking down fibrinogen, a protein that can accumulate in blood vessels. 

Nattokinase, another fibrinolytic enzyme but derived from Japanese natto, may help maintain the body's natural clotting and fibrinolytic processes. A study conducted by Biotechnology Research Laboratories and JCR Pharmaceuticals in Kobe, Japan, demonstrated that nattokinase supports healthy blood flow in animals. Moreover, researchers from JCR Pharmaceuticals, Oklahoma State University, and Miyazaki Medical College found that compared to a placebo, nattokinase promotes healthy clotting function. In 1995, scientists at Miyazaki Medical College and Kurashiki University in Japan exhibited the potential of nattokinase to support blood vessel health in human subjects.

Serrapeptase, also known as serratiopeptidase, belongs to the trypsin family of proteolytic enzymes. Like other proteolytic enzymes, serrapeptase aids in breaking down proteins into smaller molecules. Today, serrapeptase is primarily isolated from the non-pathogenic bacteria Serratia E15, found in silkworms.
