Nattokinase is a proteolytic enzyme with fibrinolytic (anti-clotting) effects that can help maintain a healthy immune system. The enzyme comes from a Japanese food called natto, which is made from boiled soybeans that have been fermented. It is produced by a probiotic bacterium - Bacillus subtilis - found to grow naturally during the fermentation process. This enzyme is well-researched and known for its ability to dissolve fibrin, a strong protein that assists with the blood-clotting process. Nattokinase thins the blood and helps break up blood clots, which can protect against heart disease and conditions caused by blood clots.
