Nattokinase extract powder, often referred to simply as Natto Enzyme or Bacillus Subtilis Natto Extract, is derived from Natto—a traditional Japanese fermented soybean food. The star of this product is the powerful enzyme, Nattokinase (NK). Nattokinase is a serine protease, specifically recognized for its potent fibrinolytic activity. Essentially, it acts as a natural blood clot dissolver, helping to break down fibrin, the protein responsible for forming blood clots.
This unique mechanism is what positions Nattokinase as an exceptional supplement for supporting overall cardiovascular wellness. Studies suggest that this fibrinolytic enzyme may contribute to maintaining healthy blood flow, supporting already-normal blood pressure, and promoting arterial cleansing—all crucial factors for heart and circulatory health. Unlike some other ingredients, Nattokinase is valued for its multi-faceted benefits in circulation support, giving it a distinctive advantage.
The global market for Nattokinase extract and its supplements is experiencing steady growth, driven by an increasing consumer preference for natural, functional ingredients, particularly those targeting heart and circulatory health. As awareness of lifestyle-related diseases rises, so does the demand for natural alternatives like this Natto-derived enzyme. It is rapidly expanding beyond its traditional Asian base, becoming a sought-after component in dietary supplements and nutraceuticals across Western markets. Its application is primarily centered on cardiovascular support, but its inclusion in functional foods and even cosmetic products is also expanding, highlighting its versatility and positive market trajectory.
Crucially, our Nattokinase extract powder is processed to offer a guaranteed, high-potency Fibrinolytic Unit (FU) activity. Since the effectiveness of Natto Enzyme is directly measured by its ability to break down fibrin, ensuring a high, consistent FU count is a distinct selling point that competitors with generic powders often cannot match. We focus on producing a high-purity, often deodorized, extract, addressing the strong odor typically associated with Natto, which makes the final supplement more consumer-friendly.
Our proprietary cold-wave extraction and dual-layer enteric coating technology ensure a minimum of 20,000 FU/g potency at the point of delivery. More importantly, third-party dissolution studies show we maintain over 95% enzyme integrity in simulated gastric fluid, compared to the industry average of 60-75%. This means your end-users get the active nattokinase where it needs to be—in the bloodstream.
Leveraging our nearly two decades of experience, we have optimized our fermentation strain (Bacillus subtilis natto), resulting in a product with exceptionally low residual Vitamin K2 (MK-7) – typically <0.5 mcg/g. Furthermore, our fine-mesh powder (90% pass-through 80 mesh) ensures excellent solubility and blending performance for your capsule, tablet, or powdered drink formats.

Caution is advised when taking nattokinase alongside blood thinners or antiplatelet medications. Consult a healthcare professional before combining supplements with prescribed treatments.
Unlike general digestive or proteolytic enzymes, nattokinase specifically targets fibrin. This focused action helps support cardiovascular health and optimal blood flow directly.
To preserve maximum enzymatic activity, store the powder in a cool, dry place. Keep it away from direct sunlight, moisture, and high temperatures.
Yes, our extract powder is highly water-soluble. It can easily be blended into functional beverages, health shakes, or custom powdered formulations.
While the enzyme begins working shortly after absorption, its cumulative circulatory and cardiovascular benefits are gradual. Consistent daily intake over several weeks is recommended for optimal wellness support.
