I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice or approved by the FDA. Someone asked for a supplement to be taking. You have to take large amounts of vitamin K2. While this does not attack the underlying cause (which we knew was inflamation and now appears to be inflammation caused by suPAR) K2 will slowly remove calcium from the atherosclerotic plaque and redeposit it in your bones. It also appears to help stabilize the calcium part of the plaque and helps somewhat to stop the plaque from breaking off and causing heart attacks and strokes. For a numbet of very complex reason (that I'm not going to get into here) most of the plaque is calcium. There are a number of anti-inflammatory supplements but somebody that knows more than I do needs to suggest which one might be better to help counteract suPAR. Everyone older than 35 should be taking an anti-inflammatory and probably several anti-inflammatory supplements as we already knew that inflammatory molecules not only causes atherosclerotic heart disease but it is a major cause of Aging. We did not know the exact mechanism but this paper probably has discovered this mechanism and may lead to the savings of millions of people's lives. Once again we have an effect of aging where in this case, a bad chemical increases as we age and we have to counteract it if we are really going to get serious about extending our lifespan. Heart disease in the US kills over 10,000 people a week and seriously disables at least another 10,000 every week. The worldwide death toll is staggering. Most of the places in the world that they have studied groups of people that live longer do not have heart disease and it is one of the major reasons why they live longer. Maybe there's something in their diet that reduces suPAR? Who knows it could also be genetic? The authors of this paper might be able to get some clues in their development of a anti-suPAR drug by talking to some of the nutritional people that have made these studies of these long lived groups.

Reply to Heart Disease Breakthrough: New Immune Target Discovered. Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Research has identified suPAR as a protein that contributes to the development of atherosclerosis and kidney disease, offering new opportunities for treatment. by Creepy_Toe2680
