********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Utilize nattokinase for lowering high blood pressure only

Nattokinase supplementation appears to lower blood pressure only in individuals with pre-existing high blood pressure, showing no effect in those with normal levels.

#blood-pressure

#supplement

Understand nattokinase as a protease for blood clot management

Despite its name, nattokinase is not a kinase enzyme but a protease, meaning it works by degrading proteins like the fibrin that holds blood clots together.

#enzyme

#supplement

Utilize high-dose nattokinase to reverse atherosclerosis

A study using a high dose of nattokinase (11,000 FU) reported an impressive 21% reversal of atherosclerosis in just over one year.

#plaque

#supplement

Critique flawed pro-nattokinase study on plaque reversal

The study showing significant plaque reversal is scientifically questionable because it lacked a control group and had potential industry conflicts of interest.

#plaque

#research

Reevaluate nattokinase dosage for atherosclerosis management

In a well-controlled study, a typical low dose of nattokinase (2,000 FU) taken for three years did not reverse or slow atherosclerosis compared to a placebo.

#plaque

#supplement

Determine specific dosages for atherosclerosis treatment

The studies on atherosclerosis used a low dose of 2,000 fibrinolytic units (FU) and a high dose of almost 11,000 FU.

#dosage

Dismiss nattokinase as a cholesterol-lowering tool

Across multiple studies, nattokinase showed no effect on lipoprotein particle numbers, suggesting it is not an effective tool for lowering cholesterol carriers.
