Nattokinase by Swanson
Nattokinase is an enzyme with a remarkable origin: it comes from natto, a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans. Swanson offers nattokinase in capsules with 2,000 fibrinolytic units (FU) each, equivalent to 100mg. It is intended for adults who want to take this enzyme in a fixed, measured form. Due to the nature of this substance, please read the safety information carefully before starting.
What nattokinase is
Nattokinase is an enzyme that is created during the fermentation of soybeans into natto. The bacterium Bacillus subtilis natto is used in this fermentation, and it is precisely this bacterium that produces the enzyme. Natto itself is an ancient breakfast dish in Japan with a strong odor and a sticky texture. The enzyme extracted from it is called nattokinase, named after the dish from which it originates.
What fibrinolytic units are
The strength of nattokinase is not expressed in milligrams but in fibrinolytic units (FU). This is a measure of enzymatic activity. Each capsule delivers 2,000 FU, which corresponds to 100mg of nattokinase. By working with FU, you know how much active enzyme you are getting, regardless of weight. The recommendation is one capsule per day, on an empty stomach.
From fermented soy
Because nattokinase is extracted from soybeans, this product contains soy. This is important for those who are allergic to it. The enzyme is isolated from the natto and put into capsule form, so you can take it without the smell and taste of the original dish. Many people are unfamiliar with natto, and that is not surprising: outside of Japan, the dish has remained relatively unknown.
The capsule and what's inside
In addition to the enzyme, the capsule contains maltodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose as a vegetable fiber, and magnesium stearate. The capsule itself is made of gelatin. In short: this is nattokinase, an enzyme from fermented soy, with 2,000 FU per capsule, in a jar of 30 pieces. Please read the safety information below carefully, as there are clear points of attention for this enzyme.

What is natto?
Natto is a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans, with a strong aroma and a sticky texture. In Japan, it is often eaten for breakfast.
What does FU mean?
FU stands for Fibrinolytic Units, a measure of the enzymatic activity of nattokinase. Each capsule provides 2,000 FU, which is equivalent to 100mg.
Is this product vegan?
No. The capsule is made of gelatin, an animal protein. In addition, the product contains soy, as nattokinase is extracted from fermented soybeans.
How to take nattokinase?
The advice is 1 capsule per day, on an empty stomach, with water. Stick to the indicated amount and read the safety information carefully.
Can I use this with blood thinners?
No. Do not use this product if you are taking blood-thinning medication (anticoagulants) or have a blood clotting disorder, and discontinue at least two weeks before surgery. If in doubt, always consult your doctor first.
