Fibrinase

Fibrinase is a specialized enzyme blend, often derived from botanical sources like Papaya and Bromelain (Pineapple). While our bodies produce fibrin to heal wounds, excess fibrin can lead to stiffness, scar tissue, and poor circulation. Fibrinase works as a 'scissor,' selectively targeting and breaking down these excess protein chains. Think of it as a cleanup crew for your blood and tissues, helping you maintain flexibility and healthy blood flow naturally.

Health Benefits & Sources

Why You Need It

  • Supports Healthy Circulation: By breaking down excess fibrin, it helps blood flow more freely, reducing that heavy feeling in legs or hands.
  • Reduces Occasional Swelling: It aids the body's natural recovery process after physical stress or injury by clearing out debris.
  • Promotes Joint Comfort: Less fibrin buildup around joints means better flexibility and less stiffness.

How It Works

Fibrinase is unique because it contains specific enzymes like Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, and Bromelain. These are proteolytic, meaning they digest protein. Unlike standard pain relievers that mask symptoms, Fibrinase addresses the physical buildup of fibrin—a fibrous protein that acts like 'mesh' in your body. By dissolving this mesh, it supports the body's ability to repair and regenerate tissue.

Natural Food Sources

While you cannot eat 'Fibrinase' directly from a tree, you can consume the raw plants that contain these potent enzymes. Note that cooking destroys these enzymes, so raw is best.

Supplementation

Dosage: Typical doses range from 100,000 to 150,000 Fibrinolytic Units (FU) per day, usually split into two doses (morning and evening).

Who Should Use It:

  • Individuals with sedentary jobs or low circulation.
  • Athletes recovering from intense training.
  • Those looking to support respiratory health (by thinning mucus).

Best Practice: Take on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after). If taken with food, the enzymes will digest the food instead of the fibrin in your body.

Source of Nattokinase, a key component in many Fibrinase blends.
Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
Contains mild enzymes and acids that support digestion.
Ginger Root
Contains zingibain, which aids in protein digestion.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. It is technically a 'fibrinolytic.' It breaks down existing clots and fibrin buildup, whereas chemical blood thinners stop the blood from clotting in the first place. They are different mechanisms.
It helps the body break down excess fibrin, which is the main component of clots. However, never use it to treat a known DVT or pulmonary embolism; that requires immediate emergency medical treatment.
Some feel results in a few days (less sinus congestion), but for joint stiffness or scar tissue, consistent use for 4-8 weeks is often needed.
Yes. By thinning mucus, it helps clear sinus passages and reduces inflammation in the nasal passages.

Safety & Side Effects

Safety & Interactions

Potential Side Effects: When starting Fibrinase, some people experience a 'healing reaction' (Herxheimer reaction) which can include mild nausea, skin rash, or loose stools as toxins are released. These usually pass in a few days.

Who Should Avoid It (Caution):

  • Blood Thinners: If you take Warfarin, Heparin, or Aspirin, do not take Fibrinase without doctor supervision. It increases bleeding risk.
  • Upcoming Surgery: Stop taking it at least 2 weeks before any scheduled surgery.
  • Stomach Ulcers: The enzymes may irritate an active ulcer.
