FAQ: Nattokinase NSK-SD® Information

From traditional Japanese soy food comes a breakthrough supplement. Nattokinase (nat-oh-KY-nase), an enzyme that is extracted from the fermented soy food called “natto.” Natto is regarded by the Japanese as a very healthy food and has been consumed there for centuries. Nattokinase, however, has only recently been discovered, isolated and investigated. The research and anecdotal reports are very promising, suggesting that nattokinase confers several important health benefits.

Who discovered Nattokinase (Nattokinase)?

Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi, M.D., Ph.D. discovered nattokinase in the 1980’s. Dr. Sumi had studied about 200 different foods from around the world, and found that natto was the best fibrinolytic agent (see below). He did further research and was able to isolate the specific enzyme responsible for this fibrinolytic activity. He named this enzyme nattokinase. *

What is a fibrinolytic enzyme?

A fibrinolytic enzyme is an enzyme that breaks down or dissolves fibrin. There are 3000 + enzymes in the human body yet only one, plasmin, breaks down fibrin. Unfortunately, the body’s production of fibrinolytic enzymes tend to decline with age. Nattokinase and plasmin are known as fibrinolytic enzymes. *

Is Nattokinase safe?

Yes. Toxicity studies on nattokinase have indicated no toxicity for this ingredient.

Nattokinase can be taken in conjunction with other medications. However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking prescription medications, please consult with your health care professional before using Nattokinase.
