Thrombosis
Summer Thrombosis Alert
Peak season for cerebral infarction is Summer (*1)
The death rate begins to rise when the temperature exceeds 30°C and 1.66(*2) times as high when the temperature exceeds 32℃!
Summer is the season when dehydration causes blood to become thick and blood clots to form. Cerebral infarctions occur more frequently than any other time of the year. Furthermore, when the temperature exceeds 30°C, the death rate due to cerebral infarction increases among the elderly over 65 years old. Moreover, when the temperature rises above 32°C, the death rate increases 1.66 times more. It is important to keep the blood flow smoothly on a daily basis, and not think of it as a winter illness.
*1: National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center website, the number of cerebral infarctions by season from 2008 - 2010
*2: From the following data
Nattokinase for Cerebral Infarction.
We recommend “supplements” for Nattokinase rather than “natto”.
- Q.Why is Nattokinase good for preventing cerebral infarction?
- A.Because it makes the blood flow smoothly. It also activates other enzymes that dissolve blood clots.
- Q. Is “Nattokinase” different from natto?
- A.No, natto and nattokinase is different. It is an enzyme contained in natto that specifically dissolves blood clots.
- Q.What is the recommended daily intake of Nattokinase?
- A.2000 FU per day. FU is a unit that indicates the activity of Nattokinase.*This is the standard amount recommended by JNKA.
- Q.How much does it containes in natto?
- A.The average is 1500 FU (50g per pack). The activity may decrease due to heat, stomach acid, etc.
- Q.I want to take Nattokinase effectively!
- A.Supplements is recommended. It has the advantage of being tasteless, odorless, and easy to take at any time without the worry of decreasing activity.
- Q.Can people taking warfarin eat natto?
- A.No, they cannot. However, Nattokinase supplements are safe to take because they do not contain the blood-clotting component, vitamin K2
Effects of Nattokinase
（Nattokinase vs. Natto）
For cerebral infarction prevention in summer,
Nattokinase supplements are recommended over natto,
which contains vitamin K2.

Completed the Graduate School of Medicine of Tokyo Medical University.
Received the 1st European College of Sports Science (ECSS) Young Investigators Award (ECSS YIA) in 1996, among others. His research focuses on the adaptation of muscle metabolism on different environments and physical activity levels. He also examines the effects of various supplements. He has been studying the effects of Nattokinase on the coagulation-fibrinolytic system during dehydration as a new theme. As one of his habits, he finished the race in 1985 Ironman World Championship.
Voices from Thrombosis Experiences
Thrombosis comes one day unexpectedly
I woke up one summer morning and my vision was distorted.
Stress, inactivity, and I was overconfident my youth.
Yasushi Tachibana, cerebral infarction at age 47
Thrombosis can be developed easily in the summer due to dehydration,
so I want to keep my blood smoothly on my daily basis.
Hiroko Tabata, cerebral infarction at age 62
I collapsed at work.
I can’t take it easy even in an air-conditioned environment.
