This supplement contains nattokinase, an enzyme produced when Bacillus subtilis ferments soybeans into natto, a traditional Japanese food. Each vegan capsule supplies 2000 FU of nattokinase. It also contains a 1000 mg proprietary blend of garlic and turmeric. Each bottle holds 60 capsules.
FU stands for fibrin units, a measure of enzyme activity rather than weight. Two products that list the same milligrams can therefore differ in activity. In this product, 2000 FU corresponds to roughly 100 mg of the enzyme itself. The dose is the amount used in a double-blind crossover trial.
Take one capsule daily with food. Nattokinase acts on clotting, so the label advises not starting it without a prescriber if you take warfarin, a DOAC, aspirin or clopidogrel, or if you have a mechanical valve, stent or cardiac device. People with a bleeding disorder or past hemorrhagic stroke, who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who are allergic to soy should avoid it. Stop 1 to 2 weeks before planned surgery or dental work and tell the care team.
