Natto enzyme (nattokinase) primarily promotes blood circulation, breaks down blood clots, and improves cardiovascular health. It also aids digestion, intestinal flora balance, bone strengthening, and metabolism.

Key Benefits Overview

Natto enzyme is derived from fermented soybeans and is rich in nattokinase, proteolytic enzymes, vitamin K2, and probiotics. Its most significant functions include:

• Breaks down blood clots and promotes blood flow: Natto enzyme can break down fibrin in the blood, reducing blood clot risk and helping prevent high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
• Protects the heart, lowers cholesterol, and prevents arteriosclerosis: Regular supplementation helps improve blood flow, enhance cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and supports overall cardiovascular health.
• Promotes metabolism: Assists in wellness and enhances circulation, helping with nutrient transport and maintaining a healthy complexion.
• Intestinal health and digestive support: Natto bacteria promote beneficial intestinal flora balance, aid digestion, and improve gut health, reducing symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, and enteritis.
• Strengthens bones and prevents osteoporosis: Natto is rich in vitamin K2, which can enhance bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
