Serrapeptase, Nattokinase and Pycnogenol with Plavix
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2016 7:49 pm
Hi All,
There have been a few threads about Serrapeptase and Natto in the last year.
I 'discovered' serrapeptase via a different source. It seems like an excellent supplement for someone like me who had a By Pass two years ago, has some minor emphysematic scarring of my lungs (ex-smoker) and (I think) some fibrosis issues in the nether parts.
I have added a conservative 1 pill of Doctor'd Best Natto-Serra (40,000SPU and 2,000FU) to my supplement regime. And one capsule of Life Extension's Prelox that includes an unspecified amount of Pycnogenol.
Because pycnogenol, serrapeptase and nattokinase are all said to affect platelet coagulation, or 'thin' the blood - I have cut back my Plavix to one 75mg every other day(every second day).... (after reading a whole bunch of PubMed papers). I don't want to give myself a stroke.
I know Johnwen has some interest in Serrapeptase via his Wife's COPD. And I think that I remember that quite a few people are pretty sceptical about Plavix.
Any info or advice would be welcome, please.
