Learn more about Nattokinase

What is Nattokinase?

Nattokinase is a purified enzyme extracted from a Japanese food called nattō.

Nattō is produced by fermentation via adding the bacterium Bacillus Natto, which also produces the enzyme, to boiled soybeans. While other soy foods also contain enzymes, it is only nattō that contains the specific nattokinase enzyme.

Nattokinase was first discovered in 1980. Dr. Hiroyuku Sum isolated nattō's active ingredient and called it "nattokinase," which means "enzyme in natto."

How does Nattokinase work?

Studies show that nattokinase dissolves blood clots, which helps maintain good blood vessel structure, improves blood flow, and lowers the risk of heart disease.

It can also help lower your blood pressure, reducing strain on the heart that can lead to heart attacks.

Studies have found that nattokinase can help with cardiovascular diseases and heart conditions. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nattokinase?

Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted from nattō, a traditional Japanese food made by fermenting soybeans with the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. This enzyme is renowned for its potent fibrinolytic (blood clot-dissolving) properties.

What is Nattokinase used for?

Nattokinase is primarily used to support cardiovascular health. Its applications include:

  • Blood Clot Prevention: By breaking down fibrin, it helps prevent the formation of abnormal blood clots, potentially reducing the risk of conditions like deep vein thrombosis and stroke.
  • Blood Pressure Regulation: Some studies suggest that nattokinase may help lower blood pressure by improving blood flow and reducing arterial stiffness.
  • Cholesterol Management: Emerging research indicates potential benefits in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, though more studies are needed.
How does Nattokinase work?

Nattokinase exhibits its effects by:

  • Fibrinolysis: It directly degrades fibrin, a protein involved in blood clot formation, thereby promoting the dissolution of existing clots and preventing new ones.
  • Plasminogen Activation: It enhances the body's natural ability to break down clots by activating plasminogen to plasmin, the primary enzyme responsible for clot breakdown.
Is Nattokinase safe?

Nattokinase is generally considered safe when consumed in amounts typically found in food. However, as a supplement, it may increase the risk of bleeding, especially in individuals with bleeding disorders or those taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications. Reported side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions, particularly in those sensitive to soy products.

What foods contain Nattokinase?

Nattokinase is naturally found in nattō, a fermented soybean dish popular in Japan. The fermentation process with Bacillus subtilis leads to the production of this enzyme. Nattō is characterized by its strong flavor, sticky texture, and distinct aroma. Other soy-based foods do not contain nattokinase unless they undergo a similar fermentation process.

Who should avoid taking Nattokinase?

Individuals who should avoid nattokinase include:

  • Those with bleeding disorders: Due to increased bleeding risk.
  • Individuals scheduled for surgery: To prevent excessive bleeding during procedures.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women: Due to a lack of safety data.
  • People allergic to soy: As nattō is soy-based.
How much Nattokinase should I take ?

The recommended daily dose of Nattokinase is 0.1g to 0.3g. Do not exceed this dosage.

For accurate measurement, Hansen Supplements provides a free measuring spoon with each product. The spoon holds 0.4g of Nattokinase and is dishwasher safe. If greater accuracy is required, we recommend using our precision scale, available here​.

Nattokinase is best taken with water on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before eating to enhance absorption.
