The earthworm has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for a few thousand years, and is considered to be one of the safest ingredients in the traditional pharmacopoeias. The studies on Earthworm extract--Lumbrokinase showed that when taken at high dosage, some people may experience nausea, diarrhea, bloating, skin itch/rash, which resolved when the product was stopped.

Earthworm extract--Lumbrokinase is the only fully researched oral enzyme on the market supporting a healthier blood state, and it shows great promise in supporting a healthy coagulation/fibrinolysis balance in the body.  Coagulation system is a complicated and highly regulated system. Modern lifestyles often tip the balance towards hypercoagulation (thick blood) and rarely towards hypocoagulation.  For most people, Earthworm extract--Lumbrokinase can support the body in keeping the system in a more balanced state.

Lumbrokinase is a more potent enzyme preparation than nattokinase. One of the advantages of Earthworm extract--Lumbrokinase is that it does not interfere with the clotting cascade, but instead, works by reducing fibrinogen and fibrin.

These proteolytic enzymes have been studied and utilized extensively in China for many years. Research suggests that lumbrokinase may have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Best Lumbrokinase is a highly active form of this enzyme group and may be used to support and maintain healthy cardiovascular function.

Lumbrokinase is an enzyme mixture obtained from earthworms. It reduces coagulation by lowering blood viscosity, lowering the activity of clotting factors including fibrinogen, and degrading fibrin, a critical factor in clot formation. It has a stronger effect on reducing blood viscosity than other enzyme preparations.
