NATTOKINASE 100 mg

What is nattokinase? What the enzyme is all about

Nattokinase is an enzyme contained in the Japanese dish natto (nattō) - a traditional dish made from fermented soybeans. Natto first appeared around 1,000 years ago in the writings of Japanese monks.

However, the vegan dish from Japan's temple cuisine is not only considered healthy and easy to digest thanks to the proteins it contains, the high proportion of vitamin K2 and the probiotic bacteria: the special thing about natto is the nattokinase it contains. The enzyme is produced during the fermentation of soybeans, triggered by the reaction with the bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis natto ("hay bacillus").

Japan has had one of the highest life expectancies in the world for many years. The extent to which the consumption of natto or nattokinase is related to this is not yet clear. What is certain, however, is that Japanese cuisine and food are often cited as the reason for the high life expectancy - and natto is considered one of the healthiest foods in the world by the Japanese. In 2013, Japanese cuisine was declared an intangible world cultural heritage by UNESCO.

Cardiovascular diseases caused by "too thick blood"

Cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks, strokes and thrombosis, are the most common cause of death worldwide. Blood clots are the cause. No wonder that more and more blood thinners, i.e. anticoagulants, are being taken. There are three golden rules that can naturally ensure good blood circulation and therefore a healthy heart:

• Exercise

• Avoid stress

• Eat a healthy diet

If the daily diet is not balanced, a dietary supplement should be considered, e.g. with vitamin B1 - as in NATTOKINASE + vitamin B1. The B vitamin supports energy metabolism and contributes to normal heart function.*

A Japanese study, which analyzed the data of 29,000 people over a period of 25 years, also produced promising results for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. It came to the conclusion that regular consumption of natto could lead to a significant reduction in mortality from cardiovascular disease^.1

What should I bear in mind when taking nattokinase?

As nattokinase can have a blood-thinning effect, it should not be taken in combination with coagulation-promoting medication. Furthermore, it can only ever have a preventative effect: Under no circumstances should you use it to treat an illness on your own initiative or even discontinue medication. If you are unsure before taking nattokinase, you should consult a doctor in case of doubt.

Why Nattokinase capsules?

While natto is part of the diet for many Japanese people, the intense smell and the sticky, slimy consistency of the food take some getting used to for us in the West. It is not for nothing that natto is also known as "vegetable cheese".

Those who want to consume the enzyme in a more pleasant way are well advised to use nattokinase products. Capsules are a good way to regularly integrate it into your diet.

The amount of nattokinase is measured in the unit FU. The abbreviation stands for fibrinolytic units and describes the enzyme activity. One capsule of NATTOKINASE + Vitamin B1 from Vitactiv contains 2000 FU of nattokinase. This corresponds to one portion (50 g) of pure natto, as the Japanese regularly eat for breakfast.
