Doctor's Best Nattokinase is a highly purified with vitamin K removed. Nattokinase is naturally occurring in traditional Japanese food (natto) fermented by Bacillus subtilus natto.
Each capsule offers 2000 Fibrinolytic Units. Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme that supports healthy circulation by its effects on serine protease-mediated digestion of fibrin to dissolve blood clots.

A study was performed to examine the effects of nattokinase supplementation on blood pressure in subjects with pre-hypertension or stage 1 hypertension. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 86 participants ranging from 20 to 80 years of age with an initial untreated systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 130 to 159 mmHg received nattokinase (2,000 FU/capsule) or a placebo capsule for 8 weeks. Seventy-three subjects completed the protocol. Compared with the control group, the net changes in SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were -5.55 mmHg (95% confidence interval [CI], -10.5 to -0.57 mmHg;
<0.05) and -2.84 mmHg (CI, -5.33 to -0.33 mmHg, respectively, after the 8-week intervention. The corresponding net change in renin activity was -1.17 ng/mL/h for the nattokinase group compared with the control group (0.05). In conclusion, nattokinase supplementation resulted in a reduction in SBP and DBP. These findings suggest that increased intake of nattokinase may play an important role in preventing and treating hypertension.
Benefits:
1. Lower Blood Pressure
Nattokinase thins the blood and dissolves accumulated solids in it. Consequently blood pressure is lowered.
2. Reduce Pain from Arthritis and Endometriosis
Because of its anti-inflammatory effects, nattokinase has been used to help with pain from arthritis, including that of rheumatoid arthritis.
Women with painful periods, especially if the pain is caused by fibroids or endometriosis, may find that their pain is reduced with a nattokinase supplement.
3. Dissolve Clots/Fibrin
Because nattokinase is an enzyme, it can dissolve proteins like fibrin, which are a cause of clots and blockages in the blood in the first place. This can help protect you from heart attack or stroke. Fibrin can also contribute to joint pain associated with arthritis.
4. Nattokinase
has a proven ability to reduce the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides as well as increase the amount of good cholesterol in the bloodstream. This benefit is even stronger when combined with
Red Yeast Rice Extract.
5. Facilitate Brain Function
Because nattokinase thins and cleans up the blood the resulting improved circulation improves oxygenation to the brain. This can reduce brain fog and may lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
6. Assist Vision
Nattokinase have been used to treat cataracts and eye floaters because of its ability to dissolve proteins and fibers that are the cause of these eye issues.
7. Increase Fertility
Fibroids and endometriosis are both chronic and painful conditions that can cause infertility. Nattokinase can be used in these conditions to help dissolve the fibroids and endometriosis.
8. Improve Libido
Because nattokinase improves circulation as it thins bloods and breaks up congestion, it is helpful for low libido in men, especially when the low libido is caused by poor circulation.
9. Eliminate Migraines
Migraines can have many causes. For those whose migraines are caused by thick blood and poor circulation, regular use of nattokinase can solve the root cause of migraines.
10. Relieve Edema
A common theme edema is poor circulation. Because nattokinase improves circulation, a benefit of nattokinase is a reduction in edema. Clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) can also cause edema. Nattokinase addresses this cause of edema as well.
11. Heal Varicose Veins
The blood thinning and oxygenating properties of nattokinase make it an appropriate remedy for varicose veins. Hemorrhoid sufferers will be glad to know that nattokinse works for hemorrhoids as well since hemorrhoids are a type of varicose vein.
