Nattokinase

Nattokinase is a potent enzyme extracted from natto, a food that has been consumed in Japan for over a thousand years.

Natto is made by fermenting soybeans with a specific type of bacteria called Bacillus subtilis. During this fermentation process, nattokinase is produced.

Unlike other enzymes that require specific conditions to function, nattokinase is remarkably stable, making it effective when consumed as a supplement.

Nattokinase may be beneficial for a variety of individuals, particularly those concerned with cardiovascular health.

Main users of Nattokinase include:

• Individuals with cardiovascular risk factors
• People with poor circulation
• People with high blood pressure
• Older adults worried about cognitive health

When it comes to supplementing with Nattokinase, it’s essential to follow the recommended dosage to ensure safety and efficacy.

The typical dose ranges from 100 to 200 milligrams per day, usually standardized to 2,000 to 4,000 fibrin units.

It’s generally recommended to take Nattokinase on an empty stomach to maximise absorption and effectiveness.

However, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting Nattokinase, especially if you are on blood-thinning medications, as the enzyme’s blood-thinning effects could enhance the medication’s action, potentially leading to excessive bleeding.
