Fibrinolytic and anti-inflammatory.
Nattokinase is a protease (protein-breaking) enzyme produced by the bacterium Bacillus subtillis found in natto, a food widely consumed by the Japanese. The presence of nattokinase in blood plasma peaks approximately 12 hours after oral ingestion. Taking nattokinase at a dose of 2,000 FU of fibrinolytic enzyme activity per day for two months has been shown to reduce plasma levels of fibrinogen and coagulation factors VII and VIII, three hematologic factors that, when elevated, significantly increase the risk of thrombus formation.
Nattokinase has potent fibrinolytic and anti-inflammatory activity. It can act to break down fibrin (fibrinolysis), improving blood flow and reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems caused by excess fibrinogen—fibrin is a protein involved in clot formation during bleeding. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory action has proven beneficial in atherosclerosis and hypertension. It has antithrombotic effects, meaning it can break up clots or thrombi.
It is important to clarify that Nattokinase does not interfere with the lipid profile, therefore it does not reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with high blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
In the normal coagulation process, a protease called thrombin acts on fibrinogen molecules. This action results in degradation products (polypeptides and peptides) that combine into a new molecular form, forming fibrin, the main constituent of clots. Fibrin formation and degradation are maintained in balance by the hemolytic system. When homeostasis is lacking, fibrin cannot be degraded, increasing the likelihood of thrombus formation in artery walls. Clots or thrombi can impede blood flow and lead to serious consequences such as heart attack, thrombosis, stroke, and pulmonary embolism.
NATTOKINASE helps prevent the formation of thrombi and clots, as well as helping to restore homeostasis in arteries and blood vessels.
