- What is 10,000 FU?
- FU stands for fibrinolytic units, a measure of nattokinase enzyme activity. 10,000 FU is a high dose; many nattokinase products are sold at 2,000 FU.
- Who should avoid nattokinase?
- People taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, anyone scheduled for surgery, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should talk to a doctor before using it.
- How does it compare with lower-dose nattokinase?
- It delivers more enzyme activity per capsule, so you take fewer capsules to reach a given dose. The trade-off is less flexibility to fine-tune a smaller dose.
- Is it the same as eating natto?
- No. Natto is a fermented soybean food; this is an isolated enzyme in capsule form, so it carries the enzyme without the food's vitamin K2 content.
- How should I take it?
- Follow the label directions. Because it is a high-potency product, start with the recommended dose and do not stack it with other nattokinase supplements.
- Where is the Nattokinase 10,000 FU+ Capsules cheapest?
- At Nutiriva, for $39.99, as of our latest check.
