Lumbren LR 75mg

Uses
Lumbren LR (Lumbrokinase/Vitamin B1/Vitamin B2/Vitamin B6) is a fibrinolytic dietary supplement produced from a type of earthworm called lumbricus rubellus. It has been extensively researched for its antithrombotic properties and its ability to prevent or treat blood clots. The earthworm has been used as a traditional remedy in Japan and other parts of Asia for its medicinal properties and many people believe that it can promote healthy circulation.

Lumbrokinase is often referred to as a fibrinolytic enzyme, meaning that it can promote fibrinolysis (the breakdown of blood clots). Its mechanism of action is thought to be dissolving fibrin (a protein which helps cause the blood to clot). This in turn can help to cause these clots to breakdown and prevent further health complications. Other possible benefits could include reducing the viscosity of blood and decreasing the aggregation of blood platelets.

Conditions for which doctors have used it include deep vein thrombosis, cerebral infarction, diabetes, heart disease and maintenance of cardiovascular health. A medical research team examined its effects if used on patients suffering from stable angina pectoris. Other ingredients include a variety of B vitamins designed to benefit the health.
