Do you have any recommendations for an inexpensive source Clint? Looking online, most places seem to be charging $80/60 capsules or $160/120 capsules with a recommended dosage for therapeutic effect of 1-2...capsules...1 to 3 times a day. So potentially, 6 times a day to clear a blood clot....once per day for "maintenance". 6x per day means 120 capsules would last just 20 days....or $160 per 20 days = $8/day. Seems rather expensive of a supplement to me. If it works though....

How does "lumbrokinase" differ from "nattokinase?" I know Natto's source is fermented natto beans, found commonly in the Japanese diet were there's low rates of cardiovascular disease....

Hmm, looking it up online, it seems it is related to earthworms. Interestingly though, there is a chart on this page from what looks to be a medical journal, implying Serrapetidase is only 1/294th as effective (ish) at 40,000IU as 40,000IU of lumbrokinase. Nattokinase being 1/36th relative strength. So it does seem like a very potent clot-breaking mechanism. That's quite...interesting.

Although the numbers on the chart appear a bit "rigged" as with Lumbrokinase, they used a dosage of 300,000IU versus 20,000FU of Natto and 40,000 of Serrapetidase. Like comparing the benefit of 15 apples to one orange or two servings of broccoli on fiber content or digestion. If you increase Natto's effectivenesss by 15x to even out the dosage, Natto would become 1/2 as effective as Lumbrokinase. While if you increased serrapeptase's dosage by ~8x, to even out the dosage, its only 1/30th as effective.

I've noticed though, every time I take natto or serrapeptase, I tend to get a small lip-sore, like a boil or something? Mostly clear/see through or white with a tiny black spit in the middle. Its very strange. I find if I take a bunch of Vitamin C at the same time, this doesn't occur. I keep wondering if its like .... left-over clot-stuff that the natto/serrapeptase is removing where there's not enough anti-oxidant to get it all so it just deposits it in a high-blood or low-blood flow area.
