#667: Nattokinase vs. Statins: The Plaque Study You Were Never Told About Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

Does lower cholesterol equal less plaque? The answer may surprise you. On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared explores emerging research on nattokinase, a systemic enzyme derived from fermented soybeans, and its potential role in supporting cardiovascular health. He reviews a 2017 clinical trial comparing nattokinase with a commonly prescribed statin, discusses why imaging studies of arterial plaque may offer a different perspective than cholesterol markers alone, and explains how fibrin may influence plaque structure. Jared also breaks down the importance of dosage, why many studies suggest higher amounts may produce different results than standard servings, and how systemic enzymes fit into a broader heart health strategy. As always, he encourages listeners to understand the research, ask better questions, and work with qualified healthcare professionals when making decisions about their cardiovascular health.
