Conclusion
DR. ZOLTAN RONA, MD
Enzymes: like bromelain from pineapples, serrapeptase derived from the silkworm, and other pancreatic digestive enzymes can also dissolve fibrin and reduce the risks of blood clots. For blood clot prevention and treatment they work best when taken on an empty stomach. If the enzymes are taken to digest foods better, they can all be taken with food.
