The Science

Nattokinase is named after natto, a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans fermented by Bacillus subtilis. Natto has been eaten and became a staple for over thousands of years in Japan. Nattokinase is the naturally occurring enzyme extracted from natto that Bacillus produce during the process of fermentation. Since nattokinase was discovered in the 1980s by Hiroyuki Sumi, a Japanese researcher at the Chicago University Medical School, clinical studies have emerged and illuminated that nattokinase has a strong ability to breakdown thrombi and fibrin. Since then, nattokinase has been able to be sourced directly from Bacillus subtilis. The clinical properties of nattokinase closely resemble the properties of plasmin in that it also dissolves fibrin directly. Fibrin is well documented as a naturally occurring protein involved in the clotting of blood. Plasmin is an important enzyme promoting fibrin degradation and clotting reduction further. It is now well understood that nattokinase is a potent fibrinolytic agent. Nattokinase’s main physiological effect is enhanced fibrin degradation and increased plasminogen activation.

Recommended Dose

1 capsule 3 times daily on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. More may be taken as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Consult a physician before use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medications or have a medical condition.
