The enzyme was first identified and isolated by Japanese researcher Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi in 1980, and has since been the subject of extensive scientific research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product provides \u003cstrong\u003e2000 Fibrinolytic Units (FU) per 100mg capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e — the standard unit of measurement for nattokinase potency.

It is naturally produced during the fermentation of soybeans by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis natto. It is one of the most extensively researched food-derived enzymes in cardiovascular and circulatory wellness research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatto itself has been a staple of traditional Japanese cuisine for centuries, particularly in the Kanto region, and is associated with the longevity traditions of Japanese dietary culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePotency\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2000 FU (Fibrinolytic Units)\u003c\/strong\u003e per capsule — 100mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFU is the internationally recognised unit for measuring nattokinase enzymatic activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-GMO soy source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Roles of Nattokinase\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCardiovascular Wellness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNattokinase has attracted significant research interest for its potential role in cardiovascular wellness. It works by breaking down \u003cstrong\u003efibrin\u003c\/strong\u003e — a protein involved in blood clotting — which may help promote better blood flow and support healthy circulation. Research has explored its potential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular conditions associated with impaired fibrinolysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlood Pressure Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome studies suggest that nattokinase may help support healthy blood pressure levels by promoting vasodilation and improving endothelial function — the health of the inner lining of blood vessels. Healthy endothelial function is a key factor in long-term cardiovascular wellness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCirculation Enhancement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy supporting the body's natural fibrinolytic (clot-dissolving) processes, nattokinase may help improve circulation and blood flow to various organs and tissues. This makes it a subject of interest for those focused on circulatory and cardiovascular wellness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAnti-inflammatory Properties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNattokinase may also have anti-inflammatory properties that benefit cardiovascular health and overall wellbeing. Chronic low-grade inflammation is a recognised factor in cardiovascular and metabolic health, and nattokinase's enzyme activity may play a role in modulating inflammatory processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExpert \u0026amp; Research Interest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNattokinase has been discussed by a number of prominent researchers and clinicians in the context of cardiovascular and longevity medicine, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Peter Attia\u003c\/strong\u003e (physician and longevity expert, \u003cem\u003eThe Peter Attia Drive Podcast\u003c\/em\u003e and Huberman Lab) — known for his extensive work on health optimisation and longevity, including natural approaches to cardiovascular wellness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Layne Norton, PhD\u003c\/strong\u003e (scientist and physique coach, Huberman Lab and Found My Fitness) — known for research-based discussions on nutrition and supplementation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Craig Koniver MD\u003c\/strong\u003e (Huberman Lab) — known for discussions on health supplements and their clinical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis research interest reflects the growing scientific attention nattokinase has attracted as a food-derived enzyme with potential cardiovascular applications.
