What it is & primary uses
A group of earthworm-derived fibrinolytic enzymes studied mainly as adjunctive treatment in clinical stroke settings.
Main benefits
- A recent meta-analysis reported functional signals when lumbrokinase was added to supportive care after acute ischemic stroke.
- The evidence is treatment-specific, geographically concentrated and not a basis for preventive or unsupervised supplement use.
Studied protocols
Research doses are grouped by outcome. They describe study designs—not a personal prescription.
Trial-specific oral products; no validated self-use dose
- Study duration
- Commonly 4–12 weeks; protocol and outcome vary
- Interpretation
- The evidence is treatment-specific, geographically concentrated and not a basis for preventive or unsupervised supplement use.
Clinical or experimental context—professional guidance is especially appropriate.
04Food sources & equivalents+
Can food provide a studied amount?
Lumbrokinase in this supplemental form does not have a reliable one-to-one food equivalent.
Dietary exposure; verify composition before comparing with a studied supplement dose
- How this was estimated
- Dose Radar compares the declared active ingredient with official composition data or the studied standardized extract—not with marketing names.
- Important limitation
- Natural content, preparation, bioavailability and formulation vary. This comparison does not prove equal physiological effect.
Food equivalents compare ingredient mass using published composition values. They do not prove equal absorption, formulation, physiological effect, safety or personal need.

With or without food
Human research has not established a universally superior fed or fasted protocol for this ingredient.
- Practical approach
- Clinical protocols only. Keep the formulation and daily total consistent with the evidence context shown above.
- Watch for
- Anticoagulants
Meal guidance reflects human pharmacokinetic, clinical, official-label or evidence-review sources where available. A food pairing can change absorption or tolerability, but does not make a supplement necessary, effective or safe for every person.

An unlisted pair means no established pair-specific interaction was identified in this review—not proof that every dose, product or person is safe.
This is not proof that every dose, product or user context is safe. Medication and condition checks still apply.
07Research notes+
Insufficient evidence for the stated context. The evidence is treatment-specific, geographically concentrated and not a basis for preventive or unsupervised supplement use.
The displayed amount comes from human research or an official evidence summary. It is not a personalized prescription, and formulation can change whether the comparison is valid.

09Expert & media references+
Podcast and practitioner statements are clearly separated from research. They may explain practice or emerging ideas, but do not prove efficacy.
Dose Radar will leave this lane empty rather than invent or infer a professional opinion.
