What is Nattokinase

Nattokinase (“Natto”) is an enzyme (protein) found in natto and fermented soybeans. Natto is a traditional dish in Japan. The bacterium Bacillus subtilis natto is used for the specific fermentation process. This process has been used in Japan for centuries to make the traditional dish Natto. But what makes this enzyme so special?

The benefits of fermenting food are increasingly recognized today. The fermentation process not only extends the shelf life of food, but it also releases enzymes by adding specific microorganisms to the food. This converts substances such as sugars and starch, which changes the taste, digestibility and absorption.

Fermented foods offer many health benefits, including a beneficial effect on the gut microbiome and easier digestion by the intestines.

In addition to the fact that natto is a source of nattokinase, it is also an excellent plant-based protein source that fits perfectly in a vegetarian or vegan diet. And as if that weren't enough, natto also contains vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7), the most absorbable form of vitamin K.

The history of Natto as a supplement

Natto has been a favorite breakfast in Japan for over a thousand years and is eaten by many people every day. This unique fermentation product is made from soy beans. It is not only produced in factories, but also often made at home by families, similar to making kefir from milk with a kefir plant.

Natto is not only a tasty and healthy breakfast, but it also has some interesting properties. One of these properties is the content of vitamin K2 and nattokinase, which can be extracted from the enzyme in natto. In the 1980s, the first discoveries were made about the fibrinolytic action of nattokinase, meaning that it can help split protein-rich fibrin in the body.

With this science in mind, it can be concluded that natto is not only a delicious breakfast, but also a healthy and functional food option that can make an important contribution to a healthy lifestyle. Experience the unique taste and health benefits of natto and add it to your diet today or use it as a nattokinase supplement.
