Doctor's Best Nattokinase provides a therapeutic 2,000 FUs (fibrinolytic units) of powerful active Nattokinase enzyme per veggie capsule. This proteolytic enzyme is extracted from a Japanese fermented soy food called natto. During the production of natto, friendly bacteria Bacillus subtilis ferment boiled, non-GMO soybeans, producing nattokinase. Nattokinase has been identified to be a potent fibrinolytic enzyme, showing an ability to break down fibrin, a blood clotting protein. Doctor's Best nattokinase has had the Vitamin K2 removed, since it assists in blood coagulation. Nattokinase helps the body keep blood flowing in a healthy way, which promotes all round health for the heart, brain and muscles by increasing circulation and therefore much needed oxygen supply to all organs. Contains soy. Vegan. 90 Veggie Capsule
- Helps support cardiovascular and circulatory health
- Helps support a healthy circulatory system
- Non-GMO
Per one veggie capsule
Nattokinase (enzyme activity in fibrinolytic units) - 2,000FU
Other ingredients: Modified cellulose (vegetarian capsule), maltodextrin, magnesium stearate (vegetable source). Contains soy
Adults: Take 1-2 capsules daily, between meals.
Note: Best Nattokinase should be taken with no food in the stomach and one hour before eating. This is important because the enzyme needs to be activated in the lower intestine, so it can be absorbed into the blood stream and perform its primary function, which is to digest dead proteins.
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use this product if you are pregnant or nursing, are allergic to soy, or if you have a blood coagulation disorder. If you are taking an anticoagulant (blood-thinning medication) or vitamin K, consult a physician before taking this product.
Nattokinase provides 2,000 FU of nattokinase per capsule from natto-derived enzyme activity. The product is focused and simple, which is useful if you know you want nattokinase rather than a mixed circulation formula.
As with other nattokinase supplements, the FU activity rating is the key number to notice. Nattokinase is commonly discussed in relation to healthy circulation, so the product tends to appeal to people specifically shopping in that area rather than for general nutrition.
What is the important number on this Nattokinase label?
The 2,000 FU tells you the activity level of the enzyme in each capsule. That is the most useful figure for comparing nattokinase products.
What is nattokinase made from?
Nattokinase is derived from natto, a fermented soy food. That is why the label notes soy.
Is this a simple nattokinase supplement?
Yes. The formula is very straightforward and keeps the focus on nattokinase alone.
The most positive thing I can say is that it is completely free of any side effects, so much so, that it is hard to tell if they have the desired effect. I cant really feel any difference in taking it, so I have to take them by faith that they do some good. The first time I took one of these tablets I did feel a difference, but now I must just be used to them?
