Description
Probase Nutrition Nattokinase is a straightforward, single-ingredient nattokinase supplement providing a higher 4,000 FU strength per serving, made with natto, the traditional fermented Japanese soy food. It is positioned as an ultra high purity formula, without the added botanicals or blended ingredients found in some other nattokinase products in our range.
What's in each serving
Two capsules provide 200 mg nattokinase, standardised to 4,000 FU. That is double the strength of the more common 2,000 FU nattokinase products, in the same two-capsule serving size, which can suit people who have already tried a lower strength and are comparing higher-FU options.
The capsules are made from vegetable hydroxypropyl methylcellulose rather than gelatine, along with microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide and vegetable magnesium stearate, making this a vegetarian and vegan-friendly option.
Who this suits
Because this is a simple, single-ingredient formula, it suits people who want to compare nattokinase products primarily on FU strength, capsule count and price, without factoring in additional ingredients like CoQ10, vitamin K2 or pine bark extract. At 120 capsules per bottle, it also provides 60 servings, a two-month supply at the suggested dose, which is a larger count than many single-ingredient nattokinase products in this range.
If you are weighing up FU strength against price, it is worth remembering that FU (fibrinolytic units) reflects enzyme activity rather than milligram weight. A 4,000 FU product is not simply a doubled-up 2,000 FU capsule. It is formulated and tested to a higher standardised activity level per serving, which is why the milligram amount and FU rating are usually listed together on the label.
How to use it
The label directs adults to take two capsules per day, preferably with a meal. As with any nattokinase supplement, check with your doctor before use if you are taking any medications, and do not use it if you are pregnant, nursing or under 18. Discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately if you experience any adverse reaction. The label also advises against operating heavy machinery while taking this product, so it is worth reading the full warnings before you start.
