This is quite interesting - it's a twitter thread by a pharmacist who has ME, and is posting about nattokinase survey - tbh, I can't tell who performed the survey but and there's not a lot of info about it anyways, but I think it's still quite interesting - it might be that that the NK helps with microclots. So I'm going to try to post the tweets here (I have a rough time posting them properly!)
(5) LongCovidPharmD on Twitter: "💊NATTOKINASE Survey Data💊 Interesting results! Efficacy appears to ⬆️ w total daily dose (TDD). While 2000-4000 FU TDD looks similar, efficacy appears to improve around ≥6000 FU TDD w/ most taking ≥4000 FU twice daily. Note no one reported feeling worse at ≥9000 FU TDD.🧵 https://t.co/SMpePaGffZ" / Twitter
(5) LongCovidPharmD on Twitter: "Q: Does ACID RESISTANT COATING affect efficacy? I believe yes, but there is a possible confounding factor: 28 out of 36 respondents who took NK w/ enteric or acid resistant coatings were taking COMBOS with SP and a few with additional ingredients. However... 👇" / Twitter
(5) LongCovidPharmD on Twitter: "Charts shows Overall improvement on scale of 0 (no benefit) to 10 (full recovery): 77% reported some level of improvement.👍 👇 https://t.co/bOVmBv8NhR" / Twitter
(5) LongCovidPharmD on Twitter: "Many of the other respondents in the "no coating" category were ALSO taking SP (separately), so I do not believe it to be a large confounder. The results are quite stark: No coating (n=132) vs coating (n=36): 52% vs 83% felt better; 9.8% vs 0% felt worse👇 https://t.co/fRPFWmLA63" / Twitter

(5) LongCovidPharmD on Twitter: "The acid resistant & enteric coated brands used were: Dr's Best SP + NK (n=17) Solaray (n=9) Neprinol (n=4) RedFood (n=4) Naturally Vitamin (n=2) See graphs comparing Dr's Best NK (no acid resistance) vs Dr's Best NK/SP (acid resistance +SP), two of the most popular brands👇" / Twitter
(5) LongCovidPharmD on Twitter: "Dr's Best Natto-Serra appears superior to NK alone. It's unclear if this is due to the serrapeptase, the acid-resistant coating, or both. Dr's Best Natto-Serra vs other acid-resistant brands yielded somewhat similar efficacy, but the sample size is quite small (n=19 vs n=17). 👇 https://t.co/tmpbXRLog7" / Twitter
(5) LongCovidPharmD on Twitter: "Out of the brands with no acid-resistance, sample size is low so take w/ grain of salt: A shout-out to "Best Naturals" NK which performed particularly well. NOW performed the worst. Brands with n≥9 shown below in chart.👇 https://t.co/4IEkthhZo9" / Twitter
