Nattokinase is a proteolytic enzyme found in natto, a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans. This enzyme is known for its ability to break down fibrin, a protein involved in blood clotting, which may contribute to the formation of fibroids.
How Nattokinase May Help with Fibroids
- Fibrinolytic activity: Breaks down excessive fibrin, preventing fibroid growth.
- Improved blood circulation: Enhances oxygenation and detoxification, reducing inflammation.
- Hormonal balance: Supports the body’s ability to metabolize estrogen, a key factor in fibroid development.
