Description
Swanson Nattozimes is inspired by natto, the traditional Japanese fermented soy food, and delivers 195 mg of enzyme activity per capsule, standardised to 6,750 FU. This is the highest single-capsule FU strength in our nattokinase range, from a brand that has been formulating supplements since 1969. It is positioned to promote healthy circulation function and support cardiovascular health as part of a daily wellness routine.
Is Nattozimes the same as nattokinase?
Nattozimes is Swanson's branded name for its Exo/Endo Protease enzyme blend, measured in fibrinolytic units (FU) in the same way as standard nattokinase. If you have seen "Nattozimes" listed alongside "nattokinase" while comparing products, this is the reason: it is Swanson's own proprietary name for its version of this enzyme category, rather than a completely different ingredient. Comparing the FU rating on the label, rather than the ingredient name alone, is the most reliable way to line this product up against other nattokinase supplements.
What's in each capsule
Each veggie capsule provides 6,750 FU of Nattozimes Exo/Endo Protease. Other ingredients are hypromellose (vegetarian capsule), maltodextrin and medium-chain triglycerides from palm or coconut. Notably, this product contains both wheat and soya, which is worth checking if you are managing a wheat or gluten sensitivity, since most nattokinase products in our range are wheat-free.
How to use it
As a dietary supplement, take one veggie capsule per day with water on an empty stomach, at least two hours before or after a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Each 60-capsule bottle provides a two-month supply at this dose.
Who this suits
The higher 6,750 FU strength suits people who have already tried a lower-strength nattokinase product and are looking to step up, in consultation with a healthcare professional, rather than those just starting out. The vegetarian capsule format may also suit people who have been comparing plant-based options, and the once-daily, single-capsule dose keeps the routine simple even at this higher strength.
Who should be cautious
This product is for adults only. Consult your healthcare provider before using it if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, especially blood-thinning medication, or have a medical condition.

Storage
Keep out of reach of children, do not use if the seal is broken, and store in a cool, dry place.
