5 Facts About Natto and Nattokinase
5 Facts About Natto and Nattokinase
Natto is a fermented soybean food from Japan. Nattokinase is an enzyme associated with that fermentation.
Here are five useful facts to separate the food, the ingredient and the supplement label.
Natto is a food; a capsule is a different preparation
Natto and a nattokinase supplement are not interchangeable. A food tradition does not establish a health result for a finished supplement.
Research is not a product guarantee
Research on an ingredient does not prove that a particular bottle changes your blood pressure, clears arteries or prevents illness.
FU and milligrams describe different things
FU means fibrinolytic units: a measure of enzyme activity. It is different from milligrams, which measure weight. A higher FU number does not by itself show that a product will work better or be right for you.
Read the complete label and serving size, not just the largest number on the front.
Count the capsules in a serving
Helixa Nattokinase lists 10,000 FU per serving. Each bottle contains 30 vegetarian capsules for a 30-day supply when used as directed.
Use the product as directed. Do not take extra capsules to copy the dose from a study.
