Natto NKCP
It has become perceived ‘accepted wisdom’ over recent years that taking an aspirin a day is the answer to preventing heart attacks and strokes. But several research studies have indicated that aspirin should not be routinely taken by people who don’t already have cardiovascular disease, due to the risk of internal bleeding. So what is the alternative?
NKCP NattoTabs is a food extract clinically shown to help the body maintain optimum blood circulation and it presents a non-drug alternative to aspirin.
Instead of directly affecting blood viscosity like aspirin, which takes regulation control away from the body leading to potentially dangerous side-effects and nutrient depletion, Nattotabs simply contain specific natural enzymes, derived from the traditional Japanese health food Natto.
Natto is able to break down a substance in the blood called PAI-1, which prevents the body efficiently regulating its own blood viscosity. In this way, blood viscosity is optimised without risk of compromising blood clotting.
Research into regular aspirin intake
The study published in The Lancet in May 2009 confirmed that while aspirin is of benefit in preventing heart disease and strokes, it can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. At the time of the report, Ellen Mason, Senior Cardiac Nurse at the British Heart Foundation, who partly funded the research, said that the study “provides further confirmation that in those without existing heart disease, there is limited benefit from taking aspirin due to the risk of bleeding”.
She continued, “For this reason it is better for doctors to weigh up the benefit and risk of prescribing aspirin on an individual basis, rather than develop a blanket guideline suggesting everyone at risk of heart disease is routinely given aspirin.”
Where and how much?
NKCP NattoTabs is available in boxes of 30 tablets for £32.95. It is recommended to take two a day for individuals who have had strokes or heart attacks, but one a day as a preventative measure for those who have not.
