Nattokinase for heart health in people with high cholesterol
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether nattokinase, a natural enzyme, can reduce inflammation and improve heart health in people with high cholesterol or high triglycerides. If you have elevated LDL or triglycerides, you may be eligible even if you are already taking cholesterol medication.
