Natto is going global. 🌍 Japan’s natto exports rose from 1,752 tonnes in 2017 to 5,248 tonnes in 2025, according to figures reported by The Guardian. A traditional Japanese food is finding a wider global audience. theguardian.com/food/2026/se… #Natto #FermentedFoods

"A professional shows up every day, stays on the job all day, does not take success or failure personally." "An amateur worries about how they feel. A professional doesn't care how they feel. They do it." "All you have to do is say to yourself, I'm going to attack this thing as if I were Kobe Bryant." "Turning pro does have a cost. A lot of times you have to leave people behind."

Japan has 4X lower rates of heart disease than America. Their secret? A natural enzyme in their diet that dissolves clots, lowers blood pressure, and shrinks arterial plaque. Here's how Nattokinase protects your from heart disease (and how to use it properly):🧵

This scientist found nattokinase. At 10,800 FU daily, it reversed arterial plaque in 66.5% of patients over 12 months, with no side effects. The rest of the data is even more insane. Researchers tracked 1,062 people with confirmed hyperlipidemia and carotid artery plaque. These weren't just healthy volunteers. Every person had an ultrasound at the start and another after 12 months of daily nattokinase. The study used two dose groups: 3,600 FU and 10,800 FU per day. The low-dose group saw almost no change in their plaque or lipid markers. Even though it was the same supplement for the same amount of time, the dose made the difference. At 10,800 FU, carotid artery plaque shrank by up to 36%. The arterial wall thickness decreased by 21.7% on average. These are physical, structural changes that doctors measured and confirmed on ultrasound. 77.7% of participants showed measurable improvement in arterial wall thickness. 66.5% showed measurable reduction in plaque size. Improvement rates across all markers ranged from 66.5% to 95.4% for the majority of over 1,000 people, not some few lucky responders. The participants lipid results moved in every right direction simultaneously. - Total cholesterol: down - LDL: down - Triglycerides: down - HDL: up No adverse effects were recorded at any point across the full 12 months. Lifestyle also amplified everything. Participants walking more than 5,000 steps daily responded better than sedentary ones, and those with higher BMI saw larger relative improvements, likely because they started from a higher risk baseline where there was more room to move. The study also tested co-administration. Vitamin K2 and low-dose aspirin taken alongside nattokinase produced a synergistic effect, outperforming nattokinase alone across cardiovascular markers. If you're building a stack, that's the combination the data points to. The researchers found the effective range is 6,000 to 12,000 FU daily. Most supplements in Europe are only 2,000 FU. That's a huge gap. The data shows 2,000 FU does almost nothing to plaque, while 10,800 FU actually shrinks it. All in all, truly an incredible enzyme.

David Sinclair just revealed one of the biggest studies on nattokinase. A comprehensive Chinese study of 1,067 people found that nattokinase reversed cardiovascular disease by removing up to 95% of arterial plaque in one year. This supplement is an enzyme from fermented soybeans and costs almost nothing. Sinclair has been taking it daily for a couple of years. He measures his carotid artery with ultrasound and says there's no plaque buildup at all. Peter Diamandis takes it too. He believes you need at least 6,000 fibrinolytic units per day to reap the benefits. For context: • Statins cost hundreds per month and come with side effects. • Surgical interventions can cost thousands of dollars Nattokinase costs a fraction of both. Sinclair's caveat: "Do this with the knowledge of your physician." But the data exists. A study of over 1,000 people and up to 95% plaque removal in just 12 months. And the man whose lab is reversing aging takes it every day. — David Sinclair (@davidasinclair) on Peter Diamandis' (@PeterDiamandis) Moonshots podcast PS.

Big Pharma will never tell you about nattokinase. It dissolves clots, lowers blood pressure and a new study showed it shrank arterial plaque by 36%. No med or statin does that. Here are all its benefits (& how to use it properly):🧵

Joe Rogan recently discussed a study where 1,062 people took nattokinase for a year. Ultrasound results showed their arterial plaque actually shrank by 36%. This enzyme stops new blockages AND helps reverse the ones you already have. Let's look at the data and dosing: (1/12)
