How are we different?

The direct isolation of nattokinase from the most natural of all sources—the traditional Japanese dish natto—is extremely complex and difficult to standardise. Therefore, we have opted for the manufacturing process that comes closest to this tradition.

Our nattokinase boasts a peak enzyme activity of over 60,000 FU per gram. It is sourced from one of the world's top three leading quality manufacturers and is derived 100% through the fermentation of non-GMO soya beans with the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The bacteria use the soya beans merely as a nutrient medium to grow. Nattokinase is therefore not a component of the bean itself, but is naturally produced by the bacteria.

Once the bacteria have completely metabolised the soya substrate, a multi-stage refinement process begins: the enzyme is extracted from the pure bacterial biomass and purified using column chromatography. This step removes the last remaining bacterial proteins as well as unwanted metabolic by-products such as vitamin K2. The result is the pure, isolated enzyme.

Due to the complete metabolisation of the nutrient medium and the subsequent purification, we obtain a product that, according to laboratory analyses, no longer contains any soya isoflavones. However, production-related traces cannot be 100% ruled out.

We clearly distance ourselves from inferior qualities on the market: some manufacturers use genetically modified soya or, instead of a purely plant-based foundation, use waste from shrimp production (crustacean shells) as a breeding ground for the bacteria. Such nattokinase products are often not vegan—ours, however, is 100% vegan.

As a purely natural filler, we use premium acacia fibre (gum arabic) cultivated without plant protection products. In contrast to the commonly used synthetic filler microcrystalline cellulose, which is often laced with nanoparticles, we use a natural, fibre-rich food source as a filler. Our acacia fibre is sourced from climate-neutral, sustainable and fair cultivation.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

Nattokinase

Nattokinase is an enzyme that naturally occurs in the traditional Japanese dish nattō, which has been regarded as a healthy food for centuries and that science has recently shown to be rich in enzymes.

Nattō is made from unshelled, green soybeans that have been fermented with Bacillus natto bacteria. The bacteria synthesises large quantities of the enzyme nattokinase, a protease with 275 amino acids, in order to digest the nutrients in soybeans. Protease enzymes are capable of cleaving proteins, and nattokinase is specialised in cleaving fibrins and is thus fibrinolytic.

Due to the pungent aroma of nattō, the food is considered an acquired taste.

Dosage

Directions

Take 1 capsule daily (30mg, providing 2000 FU of nattokinase) with 200ml of water, before or after a meal.

Contraindications

Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not take nattokinase in combination with blood-thinning medication, if you have a bleeding tendency, or prior to surgery. We recommend consulting a doctor before use. If taking medication, consume only under medical supervision.

According to the manufacturer's analyses, no soya protein is detectable in the raw material; however, we do not recommend the product for individuals with a soya allergy.

Food Supplement

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
