Description
Allergy Research Group Nattokinase provides NSK-SD nattokinase, an enzyme derived from natto, the traditional fermented Japanese soy food, in a softgel format rather than a capsule. NSK-SD is a specific, standardised nattokinase ingredient used across a number of brands, and Allergy Research Group has built its reputation on carefully sourced, hypoallergenic-focused formulations aimed at people who are sensitive to unnecessary additives.
What's in each softgel
Each softgel provides 100 mg NSK-SD nattokinase (soya), standardised to 2,000 FU. Because this is delivered as a softgel rather than a hard capsule, the other ingredients differ from most nattokinase products on the market: soya bean oil, gelatine, glycerine, a glycerine fatty acid ester, soya lecithin and beeswax. This means the softgel is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. If you need a plant-based nattokinase capsule instead, our Natural Factors Nattokinase, 100 mg is a vegetarian alternative at the same 2,000 FU strength.
Who this suits
A twice-daily softgel can suit people who find softgels easier to swallow than hard capsules, or who simply prefer that format. It is a simple, single-ingredient nattokinase product rather than a multi-ingredient blend, which makes it straightforward to compare against other NSK-SD nattokinase products on FU strength and serving size alone.
How to use it
The label directs adults to take one softgel twice daily, with 8 to 10 ounces of water, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Each 60-softgel bottle provides 30 servings, a one-month supply at this dose. Taking it with a full glass of water follows the same general guidance as many enzyme supplements, which are typically taken on an empty stomach with plenty of water.
Who should be cautious
If you are pregnant or lactating, have any health condition or are taking any medicine, speak with your healthcare practitioner before starting this product. It should only be used under medical supervision if you are taking anticoagulant drugs, and should not be used in any condition associated with bleeding. Because it contains soya, gelatine and beeswax, it is also worth checking the full ingredient list if you manage food allergies or intolerances beyond soy.
