Description
Amazing Nutrition Nattokinase is an enzyme derived from natto, the traditional fermented soy food popular in Japan. During production, non-GMO soybeans are boiled and fermented with Bacillus subtilis, the bacteria responsible for natto fermentation, producing nattokinase with vitamin K2 removed.
Why vitamin K2 removal matters
Natto naturally contains vitamin K2 alongside nattokinase, and some people specifically look for a nattokinase product with the K2 removed, whether because they take vitamin K supplements separately or prefer to manage their intake independently. This formula is processed to strip out the K2, leaving nattokinase as the active ingredient.
What's in each serving
Two veggie capsules provide 200 mg nattokinase, delivering 4,000 FU of enzyme activity. Other ingredients are vegetable cellulose (capsule), magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. The formula contains no preservatives, artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners, sugar, milk, lactose, gluten, wheat, yeast, fish or sodium, and the capsule itself is vegetable-based rather than gelatine.
How nattokinase is thought to work
Nattokinase has been shown to support a healthy circulatory system by helping maintain normal fibrinogen levels in the blood, which is one of the ways it is linked to cardiovascular function and overall wellness. Fibrinogen is a blood protein involved in clotting, and researchers have looked at nattokinase's effect on it as one measure of the enzyme's activity in the body.
Who this suits
This product suits people who have specifically been comparing nattokinase supplements and want one with vitamin K2 removed, as well as anyone avoiding the longer list of common allergens covered by the free-from claims above. It is a simple, single-ingredient formula, which makes it easy to compare directly against other nattokinase products on FU strength and serving size.
How to use it
As a dietary supplement, adults take two veggie capsules daily between meals, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Each 90-capsule bottle provides 45 servings, a supply of around six weeks at this dose.
Who should be cautious
Do not use this product if you are pregnant or nursing, are allergic to soya, or have a blood coagulation disorder. If you are taking an anticoagulant or other blood-thinning medication, consult a physician before taking this product.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
