In our New York, NY office, Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. sees many people who are at risk for cardiovascular disease.

High levels of platelets, fibrinogen and blood clotting factors can increase the chance of forming blood clots (thrombosis) and thereby increase the risk of stroke.  As recent study shows that a proteolytic enzyme called nattokinase, reduced blood clotting factors and fibrinogen significantly.  Another study showed that another proteolytic enzyme, bromelain, can reduce blood platelet count and aggregation.
