8 Natural Ways to Support Healthy Blood Flow & Prevent Clots. Blood clots are vital for healing—but when they form without injury, they can lead to serious issues like strokes, heart attacks, or DVT. While prescription blood thinners work, many seek gentler, natural options. Here’s how to support circulation and reduce clot risk naturally:
1. Vitamin E
Supports circulation and prevents thick blood. Found in almonds, spinach, sunflower seeds, and avocados.
2. Nattokinase
An enzyme from fermented soybeans (natto) that breaks down fibrin in clots. Often paired with serrapeptase for added benefits.
3. Vitamin C
Strengthens blood vessels and reduces oxidative stress. Get it from citrus, bell peppers, broccoli, and berries.
4. Phytochemicals (Spices & Herbs)
Garlic, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne act as natural blood thinners and reduce inflammation.
5. Bromelain
Pineapple-derived enzyme that helps dissolve fibrin and soothe inflamed blood vessels.
6. Magnesium
Lowers blood pressure, eases platelet clumping, and supports heart rhythm. Found in beans, greens, and dark chocolate.
7. Omega-3s (Fish Oil)
Reduces inflammation and clotting risk. Found in salmon, sardines, flaxseeds, and walnuts.
8. Berberine
A plant compound that prevents clots and supports vessel health. Found in barberry and goldenseal.
