When is the Best Time to Take Nattokinase?

11/21/2017

When taking any kind of supplement or medication, it is important to know how and when to take it. This can be an especially important question when asking about nattokinase, because nattokinase is classified as a systemic enzyme, which means it works throughout the body, or "system", to build and maintain overall health.

In order for a nattokinase supplement to effectively find its way into the system, it needs to pass through the acidic environment of the stomach in a reasonable amount of time. With this being said, the best time to take nattokinase is on an empty stomach, and preferably with at least 8 ounces of water....

An encapsulated supplement can take anywhere from 15-45 minutes to make its way through the stomach, depending on the individual person. If there is food in the stomach, it can inhibit the pass-through process, and the acidity can even begin to break down the enzymes, minimizing the ability of the nattokinase to assimilate into the body and provide maximum benefit. So, what is considered to be an empty stomach? Arthur Andrew Medical, a leading enzyme supplement brand, suggests at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after eating a meal. It should also be noted that it is okay to take nattokinase with coffee, juices, tea, and other supplements.

Nattokinase Dosage

Nattovena Nattokinase available at Southwest Nutraceuticals

How much nattokinase to take depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and a few other factors. An individual that is looking to take a nattokinase supplement for general health and prevention will most certainly take a lower dosage than someone that has a more serious existing condition. Be sure to follow the guidelines on a product label, especially if it states a maximum dosage, if you are unsure.

At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for nattokinase, so keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe, and understanding the proper dosages can be important. Once again, be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels, and consult your pharmacist, physician or other healthcare professional prior to using.

I've been taking natto miso for years with supplements after the 1st meal. Now I'm seeing advice to take nattokinase on an empty stomach. Yes, it's a food and not a capsule so I'm wondering if I'm negating the benefits of the enzyme not taking it in non-food form. I just turned 80 and the low BP and blood work always draws comments.

Hi Bruce...you are still getting the benefits of natto, but in supplement form, nattokinase products are optimal when taken away from food (30-45 minutes before a meal, or 2 hours after a meal). This allows the enzymes to enter the body without being "distracted" by food nutrients.

Digestive enzyme supplements, which are meant to assist the body in the breakdown of foods, can and should be taken with a meal.

I have been taking nattokinase 2000FU 2-3X/day on empty stomach for a DVT in lower leg... with very good results... much less swelling and pain in only a week. I refused taking Eliquis or Warfarin, after a ton of reading... much to my Doctor's anger.

Is it safe to add Lumbrokinase to the mix... or should I alternate every few weeks? I don't want blood to be overwhelmed, but need the dissolving action to be as strong as is reasonably safe.

I am also taking 80000SPU Serrapeptase 2X/day and applying topical 50%+ DMSO to leg 2X/day.

I'm very positive about this... knock on wood! Thx!

John link

Hi JJ,
I think that taking both together will be expensive and redundant. If anything, maybe switch off every few weeks or a month at a time. This will also help you determine if one of them is providing a greater benefit to you. All the best!

9/10/2020 11:13:31 am

I think you mean taking Nattokinase and Lumbrokinase together... and agree... but I read that taking teh Natto-k and Serrapeptase apart but same day is fine... they seem to do some slightly different things and some similar things... with a DVT, I need anti-coagulation, and the Nattokinase and lumbrokinase I think are much better for that then the serrapeptase... but the Serra works great for the associated inflammation and pain, now much reduced...
Agree?

John link

9/10/2020 11:32:02 am

Yes, I was referring to the lumbrokinase and nattokinase together. Serrapeptase is a fantastic enzyme to be supplementing for pain and inflammation issues. Great for breaking down fibrous tissues.

9/10/2020 11:41:31 am

Got it... any dosage recommendations? think the serrapeptase really needs to be enteric coated?

How about topical DMSO (and magnesium oil) on the bad leg? I think it would be very beneficial, was doing it from the start 10 days ago... lots of claims that it works on clots, especially ischemic strokes... but it may have contributed to what I think was a Herxheimer reaction... I am also considering drinking a small amount of DMSO with juice... but with the enzymes... might be a little much...

BTW: I appreciate your feedback!

I am currently taking Lumbrokinase (20mg) first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. I am now going to be adding Nattokinase (100 mg) to my routine at night, also on an empty stomach. When researching how these supplements should be taken, I read Lumbrokinase is best in morning and Nattokinase us best at night. I don't know if taking both in the same day is over kill or not, but they both seem to have very good benefits and can work on different things.

John link

9/10/2020 12:43:39 pm

Hi JJ,

To be honest, I am not entirely familiar with the effects of DMSO, so you may want to give it a good trial run and see if it provides you any benefit.

As far as a dosage (and this goes for any product really), I can't recommend a dosage that is beyond what is recommended on the bottle. When it comes to enzymes, your body is going to use what it needs and then flush the rest.

It has been shown that serrapeptase does not need to be "enteric coated." We actually sell a form of serrapeptase that is not and it is highly effective. The product is called Serretia, from Arthur Andrew Medical, and it uses a proprietary encapsulation that acts like an enteric coating, but made with cellulose (the main component of veggie caps). You can read more about it here:
https://www.swnutra.com/blog/acid-armor-vs-enteric-coating

Hope that helps!

9/10/2020 01:03:30 pm

Yes, The DMSO was of benefit... I just worry about it accentuating the effects/power of the nattokinase or lumbrokinase...
DMSO is said ti be a strong clot-buster in its own right.

The acid stuff was interesting... thx!

9/10/2020 04:51:06 pm

Hi, John, another question... I read that 1-2 glasses of red wine help thin the blood and help prevent clot formation.
Sounds great, I love the stuff... I until recently drank a glass of red wine with lunch... 6-8oz only.
think it would interact/reduce effectiveness of nattokinase?
thx!

John link

9/11/2020 09:26:59 am

Alcohol in general will thin blood, but as long as it is used in moderation, it should not have much of an effect, if any, with the effectiveness of a nattokinase supplement.

9/11/2020 09:59:51 am

That is great news... I really enjoyed my small glass of red with lunch...

I found what seems to be a good Naturopathic Doctor (NMD) he spent 40 minutes with me to sort of get to know each other before committing... think a regular Doc would? Jeeze. He knows about nattokinase, etc... so might be a good fit.

BTW: I just found out my sensitive estradiol was really low, 8.5... but a friend said that Lab Corp sensitive estradiol is known to be wildly inaccurate... jeeze again! I'll be re-tested soon, regular not sensitive, but the red wine is supposed to mildly up the estrogen... YAY!

Can you take Nattokinase and Horse Chestnut extract together

3/9/2021 08:39:25 am

I am not very familiar with Horse Chestnut, but since it seems to have blood thinning properties, I would not take with nattokinase... which also has blood thinning properties... depending on what you are trying to solve, I would consider lumbrokinase instead... I have not posted here for a while, but I switched to the Boluoke brand of lumbrokinase on the recommendation of my NMD, and with serrapeptase, it defeated my DVT (blood clot) in a bit more than 3 months... FAR better than warfarin or Eliquis would have done, without the risk.
BTW: If choosing only between horse chestnut and nattokinase, I would take the nattokinase... buy the NK-SD form, it is far superior.

I have been taking Nato Kinase for 2 years now, I have been taking 2000 FU + K2 MK-7with Natokinase 100mcg and I just started to take Heal -n- SOOTHE byLiving well can you look at this product online and the ingrediants it's a systemic enzyme blend but I am worried about the product I take the Nato at bedtime and the heal and soothe 2 in the am and one more in the afternoon. But I am wondering if together with the Nato is it safe because the Heal & soothe has got also blood thinning properties in it. I had auto accident in 2018 and have had pain ever since. So that is why I am taking the the Heal & soothe. Today is the 2nd day on it and it already is helping. can you e-mail me back. Thanks so much Kat

3/16/2021 08:29:15 am

Hi, Kat, I think the only thing in your heal n soothe that thins blood is ginger. IMO, that stuff is WAY overpriced... I recommend buying Devil's claw and bromelain individually ( I use Swansons or Ebay)... and adding 40-80,000 spu serrapeptase to that mix, empty stomach... then you save a ton... get a stronger dose of both the DC and Brom, and don't get the ginger... and add a great anti-inflammatory and healer in serrapeptase.
Avoid aspirin too. Ibuprophen should be OK... only if you really need it.
I am not a MD, so just my opinions. Hope they help!

I have a family history of heart disease and a coronary calcium scan show some build up on the left side. My blood pressure is also high. I’ve been working on my diet and fasting for 18 hours daily. Around 16 hours into the fast I take 8,000 fu of Nattokinase in hopes that it will help my arteries. Is there any negative to taking this in a fasted state?

5/15/2021 07:14:52 am

I am not a Doctor... but... IMO...I think Nattokinase is supposed to be taken on an empty stomach, otherwise it becomes an expensive digestive enzyme... fasting means empty stomach, so no problem.
I would recommend adding at least 40,000SPU of Serrapeptase to your daily protocol...
IF you are taking ANY sort of blood thinners, prescription or otherwise (aspirin, turmeric, ginger, etc)... check with your doctor, though most traditional MDs don't know squat about enzymes or most non-Big Pharma treatments... I have a good naturopathic MD (NMD), really helps.

Glenn

9/9/2021 09:15:25 am

Thanks for all of your helpful comments. Can you tell me who your naturopath is? I want to clear my arteries but am confused by how much of what to take etc. Thanks

Bruce winter

9/9/2021 12:58:26 pm

Glenn, I don't have a naturopath I do my own research. I take natto miso which was in supermarkets in Hawaii. Now a friend ships me a box every few months. No problem being room temp for a few days. Or probably longer.

9/9/2021 01:12:38 pm

Sure, Glenn... again, I am not a doctor, so this is not medical advice... but it depends, IMO, on the amount of clogging you currently have in your arteries... your Cardiologist should be able to do tests to tell you that... for MY blood clot/DVT... I took up to two 20mg Lumbrokinase (Blouoke brand) three time/day... and 80,000 SPU of Serrapeptase daily... always on empty stomach... and waited 30-60 minutes after before eating. That was for a serious, even life threatening condition... for maintenance now, I take one 20mg lumbrokinase (either Boluoke or Doctors Best brand) twice a day... and 40,000-80,000 SPU Serrapeptase daily... it is important, IMO to buy enteric coated products.
I have not taken either natto or nattokinase, as the above mix worked so well for me.
As an aside... I am hoping these enzymes also will mitigate the damage that the Covid "vaccines" afflict the bodies of the poor vaxxed can do... I am not vaxxed, but the vaxxed shed the spike proteins, so it is still a concern.
GL to you!

Good day.
I take 100mg Nattokinase and 80,000 of Serapeptase on empty stomach.
I also take Qucertin, ubiniquol and digestive enzymes and the usual multi cal/mag D, B complex.
Is this ok to take on daily basis or am I just wasting my money with some.
Eg: when reading about Nattokinase it seems to also have alot of vitamins and minerals in it plus protein?.
Do i need multivitamins etc too ?
I would hate to be taking unnecessary supplements.

Thank you.
Susan.

6/7/2021 07:00:44 am

Hello, Susan,
I think 100mg Nattokinase daily is a good maintenance dosage, though I prefer Lumbrokinase, as I have had a DVT previously and Lumbrokinase is a much stronger "clot dissolver/preventative"
I sometimes take 40,000 Serrapeptase, sometimes 80,000, usually only 40,000.
I do not think nattokinase has enough vitamins or protein to preclude you taking a multi. I would NOT recommend supplementing calcium, but taking at least 5,000iu of D3 daily... your multi should contain enough B-complex. Most good multis require 2-3 pills daily, taken at different times (meals?). I recommend extra magnesium and boron.
Quercetin is a good supplement, but gives me side effects. Ubiquinol is great, especially if you take a statin drug. I prefer taking Bergamot extract to a statin. Digestive enzymes are fine.
All this just my non-MD opinion!

Is it ok to take Nattokinase as we as olive leaf extract?

8/1/2021 06:12:14 pm

I am no Doc... but I doubt they would interact... BUT... I recommend not taking them at the same time... all such enzymes as nattokinase should be taken on an empty stomach... alone.

Don't waste the enzymatic action on the Olive Leaf extract. Allow it to work on the BAD stuff!

Bradley

8/2/2021 04:15:23 pm

What JJ said is good advice...There aren't any known interactions between the two, but always best to take enzyme supplements (unless it's a digestive enzyme supplement) away from foods and other such dietary products. Doing this will increase the efficiency and absorption of both the nattokinase and the olive leaf extract. All the best!

I suffered a stroke in 2017. I've been on several BP medicines, none of which helped, just made my pressure go very low and caused me dizziness and I was unable to function. I got off of them and now taking Hawthorne berry. But, I need something else to manage my pressure. It goes up to 175/64, and I that's not good. Can take Nattokinaise? I'm 85 yrs old and generally very healthy.

8/9/2021 01:52:03 pm

I am not a doctor... keep that in mind... I would assume you are on blood thinners... so nattokinase may not be a great fit... or serrapeptase... if NOT on blood thinners, they IMO, would be helpful. I think lumbrokinase might do you a lot of good... it supposedly doesn't have the bleeding risk that the others do...
My father was helped a lot by going on an old style BP med... Hytrin... I'd start a 1 mg and ramp up slowly after monitoring your BP closely. You may well have been given too strong of a dose of the others... that is common.
If your pipes are clogged (have them checked if you have not already)... serrapeptase is great, but again. careful if you are on blood thinners...
BTW: Are you scared of having your BP taken now? I am, and often get high readings like yours when in a Doc's office or am anxious... but when at home and relaxed... totally normal, even a little lower... take yours at home with a wrist cuff... often... btw: That 64 diastolic is great! Again, do your homework, I am NOT an MD!

8/9/2021 04:36:47 pm

I am not on blood thinners. My doctor put me HCTZ 12.5mg and Simvastatin 20mg. That made my pressure after a time, very low. I stayed on Simvastatin for my Cholesterol. I was then put on Losartan 50mg/ HCTZ 12.5mg. At first it worked very well, my BP was consistent for a while. Then it started going very low, and I was having the same problem again. So I stopped taking anything, except Hawthorn Blend. I don't feel dizzy but sometimes I feel lightheaded. But that doesn't normalize my BP. I know I should take something because I get a pain in the left side of my head below my ear. It comes and goes. My Blood workup has been very good. I have to keep my pressure under control because I have high pressure in my eye, for which I use eyedrops. (Cataracts removed) I know you are not a doctor, but can you just tell me, can I possibly benefit from Nattokinaise?

8/9/2021 04:54:09 pm

The Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) could cause low BP, if you got to a point that you did not need a diuretic anymore... was your use monitored closely?
The Simvastatin should not have had a major effect either way on your BP... it is a cholesterol med... a Statin, not a BP med.
I would ask your Doc about starting low dose Lisinopril or Hytrin, as I mentioned before... especially if you have consistently high BP... Nattokinase is great, but IMO, will not solve your BP issues in the short or mid-term... it is great for unclogging the veins and arteries over time, which will effect BP positively... I would add in Serrapeptase, which dose similar things, but is a great inflammation reducer and plaque remover... over time...
For now, I would get on low-dose Lisinopril or Hytrin... if the first one gives you problems, switch, but under the supervision of your cardiologist... beginning on low dose should not give you the bad side effects or too low BP... meanwhile, the Nattokinase/Serrapeptase can be working on cleaning your "pipes".
All just my non-medical opinions!! Unfortunately, most "mainstream" MDs know nothing of enzymes like Nattokinase or serrapeptase.

My husband had a ischemic stroke recently. He took a prescription blood thinner for 90 days along with aspirin. Now that he's off blood thinner & aspirin, we are trying nattokinaise. 1 in a.m & 2 bedtime. Problem is he refuses to give up his 6 oz. Of milk at bedtime. Will that negate the natto's effectiveness.

10/1/2021 08:34:30 pm

Hmmmmm... again, I am NOT a doctor, so do your own research... but... I am surprised that your husband was taken off blood thinners after only 90 days... I would HOPE that was due to them confirming his blood clot was completely gone? Perhaps his stroke was "provoked" and the risk is now gone? Unlikely...
Still I would have thought they would keep him on low dose something for a lot longer than 3 months...
The main thing about Nattokinase or the other enzymes is that they need to be taken on an empty stomach... so simply tell him to work around the Nattokinase and the milk... I'd prefer waiting an hour (30 minutes at least) after the Nattokinase dose before eating (or drinking anything but water, coffee or tea)... and two hours AFTER eating/drinking anything is when to take the Nattokinase.
I think Nattokinase would be fine... and effective... but I prefer taking lumbrokinase and serrapeptase instead... Lumbrokinase is a far stronger clot (fibrin) dissolver than nattokinase... but either way should be effective.
If he (and you) are vaxxed... the clotting risk rises significantly, from all that I have read... so taking either the nattokinase or a prescription blood thinner might be even more important... is it possible the stroke was a vaxx side effect?

jan gridley

1/10/2022 03:45:15 pm

No, he's not vaxxed, doesn't intend to. What brand of lumbrokinase do you recommend?

1/10/2022 04:34:01 pm

I took Boluoke brand Lumbrokinase, but I think Dr's Best is probably just fine, and much less.
I use Serra-Rx brand serrapeptase... Dr's Best might even be better...

Good for him on refusing the clot-shot!

Bradley

Prior to bedtime is a good time to take supplements like these because they are generally recommended to be taken away from food. I am not aware of any interactions between the two.

11/9/2021 02:39:16 pm

Nattokinase needs to be taken on an empty stomach... I don't know about combining with probiotics, but I wouldn't...

I think 30 minutes min before or after.... JMHO

I have a hard time swallowing capsules. Can I open up the nattokinase and mix it into some liquid and take it that way?

Thank You!

John link

5/23/2022 02:30:15 pm

Hi RK,

The short answer to your question is yes, you can pull apart the capsules if you have a hard time swallowing them. However, there are two things to note when doing this.

It won't taste good at all. I recommend adding the contents to a flavored beverage or yogurt to help disguise the taste.

Second, anytime that you open up the capsules, you are going to be taking away from the effectiveness and absorbability of the product. The capsules help to protect the contents from the digestive process so that as many of the enzymes can get to where they need to go in the body. People do this all the time though...these are just some things to be aware of. Hope that helps and makes sense.

Best of luck!

What is the big difference between lumbrokinase and nattokinase? Every time I have been vaccinated my d dimer goes up which is terrifying. Is this due to the spike protein and what is that relationship to clotting? The rest of my blood tests are ok, and I actually git a CT scan after the 1st vaccine and all was fine. It does cause great anxiety and eventually, it does resolve itself. Trying to figure out how much nattikonase to take and if U should switch to lumbrokinase. Earth worms?? I also take 1-3 g of fish oil and curcumin. Both are said to help to thin blood. I have high BP and noticed to recommend lisinopril. Why lisnopril? Why Hytrin? The side effects from BP meds have horrific. Got tachy cardia from htz because can’t keep hydrated because any liquid I drink is quickly removed. I and this vaccine also has its issues. Trying to balance it all out.

11/28/2021 09:16:06 am

I am NOT a Doctor... but have done a lot of reading on these enzymes...
I used Lumbrokinase (Boluoke brand) to defeat a serious DVT in 3 months, and took no Eliquis or warfarin (my doctors all went bananas)... do your own research... what I have found might not fit YOUR situation... I think nattokinase is a great every day supplement for many things... I have been on lumbrokinase (LK) daily since my DVT in 9/20, but might switch to Nattokinase (NK) as my DVT was likely "provoked" by testosterone replacement therapy... I do have, supposedly, Leiden V, a clotting disorder, so this is serious stuff for me... I have been also taking Serrapeptase with the Lumbrokinase daily, 40000 to 80000 daily. Personally, I would not combine LK with NK... but would take serrapeptase with either. I think NK benefits more overall than LK, but LK is MUCH stronger in terms of dissolving fibrin/blood clots...
Yes, I would for sure be concerned about the "vaccines" causing blood clotting... VERY concerned... perhaps a combo of LK and Serrapeptase would be appropriate for you, a Naturopathic MD knowledgeable about these enzymes would be a worthy investment. I would not take aspirin with NK. From online articles:

The most unique feature of NK is that, as a single compound, it possesses multiple CVD preventative and alleviating pharmacologic effects (namely, antithrombotic, antihypertensive, anticoagulant, anti-atherosclerotic, and neuroprotective effects). There are no other drugs or drug candidates with multiple pharmacologic properties similar to NK.Of all the proteolytic, or protein digesting enzymes, only serrapeptase and nattokinase come close to resembling lumbrokinase in terms of fibrinolytic activity.

However, lumbrokinase is “king” when it comes to strength, as it’s:

About 300-times stronger than serrapeptase, an enzyme extracted from silkworms.
Nearly 30-times stronger than nattokinase, the notorious enzyme extracted from natto, or traditional Japanese fermented soybeans.

Kristine

12/20/2021 07:25:43 pm

"Personally, I would not combine LK with NK... but would take serrapeptase with either."

I have seen people take LK with NK and am just wondering what your reasons are for not wanting to combine these two together?

Thanks

12/20/2021 08:51:37 pm

Remember, I am no Doc...

I think taking both might be overkill... I prefer lumbrokinase as it's :

"About 300-times stronger than serrapeptase, an enzyme extracted from silkworms.
Nearly 30-times stronger than nattokinase, the notorious enzyme extracted from natto, or traditional Japanese fermented soybeans.

Here’s something else that makes lumbrokinase stand apart from the others...

It has a built-in balancing mechanism that promotes both fibrinolysis and fibrinogenesis. That means it can both break down and build up fibrin, depending upon your body’s needs..."

Nattokinase, to my knowledge, does not have this balancing mechanism... so could cause too much blood thinning... for example, nattokinase and aspirin are not recommended together... and nattokinase has to be stopped well before any surgery...

I take serrapeptase too, for inflammation control and to keep my pipes clear... it eats arterial plaque. I take them at different times... some don't bother.

Kristine

12/21/2021 08:07:10 pm

Okay good points, thanks.

I was thinking of taking LK am, Serrapeptase in afternoon and NK at night.

That way, covering all bases as they are all just a bit different and may have different helpful mechanisms.

I agree though that LK is the winner of them all, if I had to limit to one.

Thanks

I take one Natto capsule everymorning on a empty stomach, and right after that I take one glass of Diatomaceous earth. Now I`m wondering can the particles in the Diatomaceous earth harm the enzymes? or is that not possible?

2/11/2022 08:42:29 am

I think taking the DE right after the natto (you meant nattokinase?) capsule would completely negate any benefit... IMO, the DE would absorb the nattokinase or prevent its absorption. IF you really mean natto, not nattokinase, that would be even more likely to be rendered useless.

I recommend taking them at least an hour apart, both on empty stomach, better yet, take at different times of day. I take DE before bed.

Hi there,
I am hoping you might be able to tell me if taking 60,000 total FU (of a combo) nattokinase and serrepeptase is okay to do (2 in morning 2 later in afternoon) along with a 325mg asprin?

The reason I took the asprin, this evening, was because I felt my hand starting to be tingly; this prompted me to do the asprin for microblood clot concerns....

I believe I am suffering my 5th round of covid... I am unvaxed.

Thank you for your thoughts!

i have enjoyed everyone's honest opinion and sharing of their medical condition me personally i had a lung embolism blood clotting and had some clots removed but after 6 months of taking Eliquis 5mg 2x a day they have not dissolved the clots and the problem with the medical community they are trained to give you a prescription that may or may not work and more importantly cause you more harm so now i am on my own quest to find solutions to my own condition and it has been helpful in hearing from you all even though we are not doctors we can at least give our honest opinions and i sincerely thank you all especially you JJ because you let me see that i am on the right track.

My pleasure, RT, I am glad you are going in the right direction. It is sad that Cardiologists do not recommend Lumbrokinase along with drugs like Eliquis (which do nothing to dissolve a clot)... but... if they keep your clot in place, very slowly dissolving... they make far more PROFIT.

I wish you well...

I'm old. (83) In my past I've had BOTH corotid arteries surgically scrapped out. Both ops were a success. I have no complaint concerning the surgeon nor the ops themselves. I've also had one heart attack resulting in a stent. (not medicated) I used to smoke and as a result Mr. Emphysema knows my name. But that was then and back then I knew NOTHING of serrapeptase nor nattokinase. If I did I would have taken steps to prevent a reoccurrence. However, I am showing symptoms from ALL 3 areas telling me the crud is back. At my age I am NOT a good surgical risk. (Not that I would.) Here's my plan of action: (Due to my schedule I can only carve out 2 "time windows.") When I wake: 250,000 IU serrapeptase and 2000 FU nattokinase. I repeat the procedure every 12 hours thereafter. If anyone has any suggestions toward a better plan I'm all ears. Thank you.

You plan seems sound... personally, I would exchange nattokinase for lumbrokinase... the strong dosage of both serrapeptase and nattokinase might thin the blood (anticoagulant anti platelet action) a bit too much... and lumbrokinase is many times stronger than nattokinase. I recommend no aspirin if you stick with your plan and don't switch.
I would also recommend, for overall health improvement, researching Dr. Kalcker's work with Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS)... on Bitchute, not the censorship monster and Big Pharma shill Youtube... I do not recommend MMS at all. Both demonized, but that is likely due to Big Pharma worrying about their profits. I have taken for a month+ and it has helped a lot, and no side effects.
GL to you and blah blah, this is not medical advice. ;-)

I was recently diagnosed with Afib and have had one additional episode over a 5 month period of time. Prior to this I did have a brain stroke 14 years ago. I am now 75. I was maintained an Plavix following the stroke with no side effects. After the Afib diagnosis I was told to stop the Plavix and prescribed Eliquis. I could not tolerate Eliquis with many side effects. In the meantime, after talking with my local pharmacist, he suggested I try a quality Nattokinase (DaVinci Labs). I take one 150 mg a day with absolutely no side effects.

Now, my cardiologist is recommending I take Xeralto. I have taken Xeralto in the past due to a blood clot in my leg and the bleeding side effects were significant.

I know you are not a doctor as I am just looking for another opinion.

My question is this: considering the recent diagnosis of Afib, and the Nattokinase I now take, should I also take the Xeralto and just tolerate the bleeding side effects (bleeding when brushing teeth, blood under skin on arms)? Taking both ok?

Well... unfortunately Afib is really tough to treat naturally... beyond any expertise I may have... I will say though... that nattokinase and serrapeptase, especially together, like in your DaVinci supplement (a good one, IMO) can cause blood thinning... when combined with a prescription blood thinner/anticoagulant,,, it might be too much... I worry about a hemorrhagic stroke... make darn sure your MD (and pharmacist) knows about you taking them together... I bet he says NO.
Look into lumbrokinase, it does not have the potential bleeding side effects that nattokinase and serrapeptase have, serrapeptase much less that nattokinase... and may help you to knock out mini-clots if they form.
I really dislike prescription blood thinners, especially Eliquis, but all are nasty drugs... with Afib, though... your options are so limited... perhaps your MD will reduce the dosage of Xarelto if he is OK with you taking your DaVinci supplement... IF you can handle a strict diet... warfarin may be a better option with less side effects... BTW: Dabigatran or Pradaxa get far better reviews than Xarelto, which gets worse reviews than even Eliquis...
Get your exercise, move to a strongly anti-inflammatory diet, avoid aspirin... they say Yoga helps (jeeze!)... I sure wish you well...
