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. As a result, substances such as sugars and starch are converted, 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 gut.

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

The history of Natto as a supplement

For over a thousand years, natto has been a favorite breakfast in Japan and is eaten daily by many people. This unique fermentation product is made from soybeans. It is not only produced in factories, but also often made at home by families, comparable 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 80s, the first discoveries were made about the fibrinolytic activity of nattokinase, meaning that it can help cleave protein-rich fibrin in the body.

With this knowledge 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.
