Many people‚ understandably‚ don’t spend too much time thinking about blood clots. However‚ the clotting (coagulation) process is essential for survival. In other words‚ it stops too much blood from escaping your body and helps you heal from wounds and injuries. If your blood fails to clot correctly‚ an otherwise minor paper cut could be catastrophic. However‚ too much clotting is also a bad thing; it may potentially lead to organ failure. This is the reason why many heart patients are prescribed clot-busting drugs. The downside of other medications is that they may have the side effect of interfering in the normal coagulation process at the same time as the unhealthy clotting. Levels of plasmin‚ the substance your body creates to break up fibrin‚ decrease as you get older.
If your blood doesn’t clot effectively‚ supplementing with an enzyme called lumbrokinase can help. According to medical research‚ it works to promote normal levels of clotting. It also enhances the ability of certain enzymes to dissolve the fibrin in blood clots‚ encouraging the healing process. Fibrin‚ the final step in the coagulation process‚ is a stringy insoluble protein that forms strands to hold a blood clot in place by adding bulk. As a result‚ any injured blood vessel walls are plugged‚ preventing further bleeding. While this is mostly good‚ it’s easy to see how an insufficient amount of fibrinolytic activity can lead to main blood vessels being clogged.
Allergy Research Group’s Lumbrokinase (LK) capsules are made with a group of proteolytic enzymes naturally derived from a particular earthworm species. Since these capsules contain e-PA‚ a plasminogen activator biologically similar to another tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)‚ it’ll only reduce blood clotting when fibrin is present. This makes lumbrokinase unique‚ in that it doesn’t cause excessive bleeding. Unlike other traditional Chinese supplements‚ Allergy Research Group’s LK product has been shown to be far more effective.
It’s also been approved and awarded by several ministries in China‚ due to the positive results of several local studies. These LK capsules are commonly used by renowned hospitals‚ and commonly sold in stores throughout Asia and Europe.
