I had a Coronary Artery Calcium scan (CAC scan) done in January of 2022. My score was bad, 563, indicating likely significant coronary artery disease. A few months ago, I tried the high dose Vitamin C (4,000 mg/day) and L-Lysine (4,000 mg/day) for four weeks. This therapy had been mentioned on GAW a few times in the past year or so. I had a follow-up CAC scan done on Tuesday, my new score is 698. I'm not too happy. This therapy may have worked for some people, but seems pretty clear it didn't work for me. I also did a round of a lemon juice/garlic elixer earlier in the year. If anyone else has tried the Vit C-Lysine therapy and have results to report, please post here. Thank you. (now I need to figure out what to do with a few bottles of Vitamin C and Lysine; I had planned on doing more rounds of the "therapy" if it had shown ANY positive results. I guess it could be argued "well, just think how high it would have been if you didn't do that therapy!" :) )

Nattokinase helps with blood pressure and clots, however not much help with calcification.
You need to look at vitamin D3 taken together with vitamin K2 as well as Magnesium, all of which help balance calcium in your body.

Magnesium balances out calcium in the body. Magnesium makes things bendy, you may need to sit down so take at night.
The heart muscle loves magnesium. If you get palpitations or irregular beats, be sure and take some. Doesn't hurt to take daily.
