Thanks for this post!

I took 2000 FU of nattokinase three days in a row and that made me worse. Then I opened the capsule and poured out the powder to make capsules of 500 FU. That was just right. From there I slowly increased all the way up to 8000 FU. Titrating/start-low-go-slow works.

I made a YouTube video showing exactly how I made lower dose capsules, putting it here hopefully it helps people https://youtu.be/dG8m9VexgzY

I currently have itching and burning of skin. This went on for a week and turned into tachycardia and high lactic acid Dec 9. Sent me home with omeprazole. It was controlled for a while with vitamins then not. Then a day or two with vitamins and reveretrol then not - so I had to add an antihistamine. Any idea what this is? Is this MCAS? What can I do about this? Should I stop the antihistamine and go for the natto et al?

Awesome. Thanks for sharing the insight. I am two weeks into starting Nattokinase for Long COVID. Up to 8000FUs this week. The last two days I've felt more anxious. And I do feel a bit more "under the weather". Could this be a herx response? How long does it typically last? Thank you for sharing. This could be the most perfectly timed share of al time!
