High-Quality Nattokinase: What You Need to Know
When manufacturing nattokinase capsules, as with all dietary supplements, purity and safety of the product are the primary concerns.
At BioProphyl, we source our raw materials from a certified supplier in India. Since it is a soy-based raw material, we have placed great importance on ensuring that the source material is not genetically modified, meaning no genetic engineering is involved. Before processing, a check is conducted for possible contamination with heavy metals and microorganisms, and of course, the enzyme activity is determined. The latter is considered the defining characteristic of nattokinase and is expressed in fibrinolytic units (F.U.). To take full advantage of this valuable enzyme, our capsules provide the dosage derived from studies of 2,000 F.U. per day.
A Closer Look: What Is Nattokinase?
Nattokinase is an enzyme derived from the traditional Japanese dish Natto. Cooked soybeans are fermented using the bacterium Bacillus subtilis natto.
There are many legends and theories about the exact origin of Natto. However, it is certain that it has been consumed as a traditional food in Asian countries for over 2,000 years and is also valued as a potent remedy. Studies have shown that high Natto consumption contributes significantly to the longevity of the Japanese population. Since the discovery of nattokinase, research on the enzyme has advanced considerably, and numerous scientific studies have been conducted on its effects.
What Ingredients Are in Nattokinase?
For our nattokinase capsules, we process a soybean extract with an enzyme activity of 20,000 F.U. per gram. Each capsule contains 100 mg of extract, providing the recommended dosage of 2,000 F.U. without any artificial additives or excipients. Thanks to the use of plant-based capsule shells, the product is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Nattokinase in Capsule Form: Your Benefits
Nattokinase capsules have a significant advantage: they deliver nattokinase in a concentrated and standardized form, allowing for precise dosing and convenient use.
We offer nattokinase in two different variants:
Our jar with 60 capsules is ideal for those new to nattokinase and wanting to try it.
Our bulk jar with 180 capsules is for those already convinced and wishing to supplement with nattokinase daily. It comes with a lower price per capsule and is also environmentally friendly as it lasts for six months.
Who Can Benefit from Nattokinase Capsules?
Nattokinase is generally suitable for all adults. However, there are two criteria that exclude its consumption. One is the presence of a soy allergy, and the other is the use of blood-thinning medications.
Since nattokinase is derived from soy, the powder contains allergenic components. Our product is labeled accordingly in the shop and on the packaging in compliance with food regulations, so those with allergies can easily check if the product is suitable for them.
Additionally, nattokinase should not be combined with blood-thinning medications such as Warfarin due to possible interactions, as it may enhance their effect, leading to unwanted side effects.
Tips for Use: How to Take Nattokinase Capsules Properly
We recommend taking one capsule of nattokinase with 2,000 F.U. per day. You are free to choose the time of consumption. Do you find swallowing capsules difficult? In this case, you can safely open the nattokinase capsules and consume the powder without the capsule shell.
