How it Works in the Body (Medical Use)
To stop bleeding, your body naturally forms a mesh-like plug called a fibrin clot.
- The Problem: An enzyme in your body called plasmin normally comes in to dissolve these clots once healing is done. However, during heavy bleeding or surgery, plasmin can activate too early and destroy the clots before the bleeding stops.
- The TXA Solution: TXA is an “antifibrinolytic.” It physically binds to plasminogen (the inactive form of plasmin).
