Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted from a popular Japanese food called natto. Natto is boiled soybeans that have been fermented with a bacterium called Bacillus natto.
Nattokinase is used for cardiovascular diseases including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, chest pain (angina), deep vein thrombosis, atherosclerosis, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, poor circulation, and peripheral artery disease.
It is also used for pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, muscle spasms, infertility, cancer, and a vitamin-deficiency disease called beriberi.
There are not enough studies about how nattokinase works. Please discuss with your doctor for more information. However, it is known that nattokinase decreases the ability of blood to clot. This “thins the blood’ and might protect against conditions caused by blood clots such as stroke, heart attack, and others.
