Statins are mainly used to lower blood lipids, while nattokinase has the effect of dissolving blood clots, which can treat or prevent various diseases, and they can be taken at the same time and have a mutual promotion effect. Because atherosclerosis is related to elevated blood lipids, the plaque is easily dislodged to generate thrombus over time. When the cardiovascular system is blocked by blood clots, myocardial infarction occurs, and thrombolysis is an important treatment option. The effect of nattokinase thrombolysis is more significant than that of urokinase. When the numbness of the limbs is also related to thrombus blockage, you can take simvastatin and nattokinase to improve the symptoms. Hypertension is caused by poor vascular elasticity or high blood lipids. Nattokinase can soften blood vessels and lower blood lipids, bringing down blood pressure. Because statins and nattokinase are similar in action, the dose of statins can be reduced when taking nattokinase.
