Author: Lisa Kitahara
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: 2 cups 1x
Category: basics
Method: fermenting
Cuisine: japanese
INGREDIENTS
Natto from scratch (bacteria starter)
380g dry soy beans
Natto from frozen pack
1 pack of frozen natto (or 60g from previous natto)
~380g dry soy beans
1 tbsp filtered water
Natto from previous batch
~400g cooked soy beans
60g natto from previous batch
INSTRUCTIONS
Soak the soy beans overnight– it should expand and look plump.
Discard the water and then cook the soy beans in an instant pot, pressure cooker or over the stove until tender.
Lay cling wrap on a tray or shallow tupperware (this step is not essential but helps immensely with the clean up process). Sterilize any utensils and bowl with hot water to remove any bacteria. Drain the soybeans well and then add the soy beans to the tupperware.
Add 1 tablespoon of filtered water into the pack of natto and mix to loosen. Then spread the natto over the soy beans and mix well. If using the starter, sprinkle the starter over and mix. If using previous batch, add the natto and mix well. Cover with paper towel, cling wrap and then elastic bands to secure.
Place in a yogurt maker, fermentation box or a warm area at 40 C for 24 hours. The next day, place into the fridge and continue to ferment for another 24 hours.
The natto is complete! Store in the fridge for up to 2 days or transfer to portioned size freezer safe reusable bags or tupperware. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge and enjoy!
You can repeat this process maximum 3 times with previous natto. Then you must use the frozen store bought natto (because the bacteria is stronger).

Nattokinase - Anti Coagulant
Nattokinase (NK) is an enzyme derived from a traditional Japanese food called natto, and it is thought to help lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.
Nattokinase for Blood Clots
Nattokinase dissolves blood clots by directly hydrolyzing fibrin and plasmin substrate. It converts endogenous prourokinase to urokinase (uPA). It also degrades plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) and increases the level of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). (Source)
Tanikawa et al. (2022) examined the effect of nattokinase on the COVID-19 spike protein. In the first experiment, they demonstrated that spike was degraded in a time and dose-dependent manner in a cell lysate preparation that could be similar to a vaccine recipient. The second experiment demonstrated that nattokinase degraded the spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells. This was reproduced in a similar study done by Oba and colleagues in 2021.

In a randomized controlled trial (2015), a single-dose of 2,000 FU NK (NSK-SD, Japan Bio Science Laboratory Co., Ltd) appears to potentiate thrombolysis and anti-coagulation profiles.
In another 8-week randomized controlled trial (2016), subjects were given 8 weeks supply of either a placebo or a nattokinase. Nattokinase NSK-SD® (subtilisin NAT) was encapsulated in veggie caps with 100 mg/capsule and standardized to at least 2,000 fibrinolytic units (FU) per each 100 mg daily oral dose. Subjects were instructed to take one capsule daily in the morning and to return the bottles with any remaining capsules at the 8-week visit.
The average level of vWF (Von Willebrand Factor) was reduced by 15% in the nattokinase group, whereas no consistent change was seen for the subjects consuming placebo for 8 weeks. The difference in vWF levels at 8 weeks between the two groups showed a statistical trend (P<0.09). This decrease in vWF levels was sex specific, as it was seen for the group of females consuming nattokinase (26% reduction, P<0.09) but not in the male group consuming nattokinase.
Dosage: Nattokinase 100 mg/day (equivalent to 2,000 fibrinolytic units [FU]), typically for a duration of 8 weeks, has been used in some studies evaluating thrombolytic/fibrinolytic and blood pressure effects.
Nattokinase’s Amazing Effect on Blocked Arteries & Circulation – Natural Blood Thinner – Dr.Berg
The health benefits of nattokinase
In Japanese tradition, eating natto is associated with better heart health and lifespans. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition backs up this observational trend, concluding that regular natto consumption significantly decreases the risk of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD).
While he says that much more research is needed, Dr. Lin and his team explored what role the enzyme nattokinase plays in these positive health outcomes. Between their Biomarker Insights findings and other research, here’s what medical and nutrition experts suggest.
Nattokinase health benefit: It may improve blood circulation
In 1980, researchers at the Chicago University Medical School observed natto dissolving blood clots in their lab. The team isolated the enzyme responsible for this anticoagulant activity—to be specific, it was nattokinase—and demonstrated that it can improve blood circulation, according to research published in the International Journal of Molecular Science. (Remarkably, the Biomarker Insights research also found that this effect on blood circulation may actually be stronger than aspirin.)
Better blood flow is good news for heart health. Subsequent studies in Scientific Reports have found that the enzyme’s blood-clot-busting activity could reduce the risk of thrombosis as well.
Nattokinase health benefit: It may promote good cholesterol levels
Hyperlipidemia means that your blood contains high levels of fats like cholesterol or triglycerides. This condition can increase your risk of fatty deposits getting stuck in your arteries, ultimately causing blockages.
Dr. Lin says that nattokinase lowers these blood lipid (also known simply as fat) levels—but the effect goes beyond that. His team found that taking the enzyme regularly contributes to a healthy cholesterol profile altogether. In their study, while measures like LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol levels lowered, HDL (good) cholesterol levels went up.
Nattokinase health benefit: It could lower your blood pressure
Thanks to its blood-thinning ability, nattokinase may play a role in preventing or treating high blood pressure as well, according to a study published in Integrated Blood Pressure Control.
The clinical study found significant decreases in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in people after eight weeks of taking nattokinase, reducing risk markers for heart disease.
Nattokinase health benefit: It helps to keep your arteries in great shape
Dr. Lin explains that the fats in our blood can eventually lead to atherosclerosis. This condition results from fatty buildup over time—causing your arteries to harden and narrow. “If you don’t do anything, the buildup can become bigger and bigger,” Dr. Lin says. “This might block the vessel and cause a heart attack, ischemic heart condition, or other [heart problem].”
By keeping your cholesterol and blood pressure levels in a healthy range, nattokinase can potentially lower your risk of developing this form of heart disease. Based on their study, Dr. Lin says that the enzyme appeared to effectively reduce the atherosclerosis progression in people taking nattokinase for six to 12 months. In most cases, the clots reduced in size—and some actually disappeared. (Read about the silent symptoms of clogged arteries.)
Nattokinase health benefit: It may aid in respiratory health
Research published in Allergology International found that nattokinase can shrink nasal polyp tissue, similar to how the enzyme dissolves blood clots. This may help relieve people with conditions like chronic asthma, rhinosinusitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by improving airflow and thinning mucus.
Nattokinase health benefit: It could help protect your brain
Studies suggest that nattokinase may support long-term cognitive health, too. According to research published in Stroke, nattokinase may even have therapeutic effects on brain damage caused by heart attacks and stroke by promoting blood circulation.
“There are also animal studies that suggest nattokinase may be beneficial in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, but human studies need to be conducted before drawing any conclusions,” Mosquera-Cochran says.
How much nattokinase should you take?
The European Union recommends taking 2,000 fibrin units (FU) of nattokinase daily, or 100 milligrams (mg). However, Dr. Lin says that researchers continue to investigate the optimal amount an individual should take to achieve the therapeutic benefits. For example, he explains that in clinical settings, higher doses of nattokinase are more effective in lowering blood cholesterol and blood pressure. But overall, the data is not yet available to change current recommendations.
As for the safety of nattokinase? “So far, we haven’t found any toxicity concerns associated with nattokinase use,” Dr. Lin explains. That said, most studies to date involve taking nattokinase over short periods—like six or 12 months—so more research is needed to provide concrete guidelines on dosing and safety of long-term usage, Mosquera-Cochran says.
As with any supplement, if you’re interested in adding nattokinase to your diet, speak with your doctor first.
Should some people avoid nattokinase?
Because of its cardiovascular system effects, it’s not recommended to use nattokinase if you take an anticoagulant agent (like Warfarin) or use aspirin, Mosquera-Cochran says.
Another important point: Make sure you choose a reliable brand of nattokinase. Dr. Lin recommends searching for a supplier or manufacturer with research available on their product to ensure what’s in the bottle has the enzyme activity you expect.
Natto or nattokinase: which is better?
Dr. Lin says that you can get the health benefits of nattokinase from natto itself, but you’d have to eat it regularly. “It won’t be as [effective] if you’re only eating natto once a week or a few times a month,” he says. “If you eat natto regularly—like people in Japan who eat it daily—you can get the benefits that we see in the clinical studies.”
Still, while taking nattokinase is a lot more convenient, there may be additional benefits to eating natto in its fermented food form. “Research is still underway to determine exactly how fermented foods affect human health,” says registered dietitian Cassie Madsen. “But the data we have so far is promising.” She explains that current research suggests fermented foods may have a positive effect on our gut microbiome, inflammation, heart disease risk, diabetes, and weight management.

If you do a search for Nattokinaise, you will see claims Natto does nothing against the BioWeapon. Tell that to the Japanese who have been eating Natto for 1200 years.
Natto and Nattokinase - A traditional Japanese food “Natto” is a food made from soybeans fermented by Bacillus natto, and has been eaten since about 1,200 years ago. Enzymes that Bacillus natto produce by fermentation include protease and Dr. Oshima at Hokkaido Imperial University reported its purification and characteristics. Since then, it was investigated as a serine protease, and, in 1980s, the enzyme that degrades fibrin proteins (a cause of thrombi) was named as “Nattokinase”. Nattokinase is found in the sticky part of Natto.
Functions of Nattokinase include directly degrading a fibrin (the main component of thrombi), activating pro-urokinase (precursor for urokinase that is an thrombolytic enzyme in the body) and increasing the amount of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) that produces a thrombolytic enzyme, plasmin. In addition, recent research has revealed that Nattokinase has a function of degrading plasminogen activator inhibitor, PAI-1 and reducing the euglobulin lysis time, and therefore, it has a function of improving the thrombolytic activity. Furthermore, the reduction of blood pressure has also been confirmed.
Degradation of Thrombus by Nattokinase
A thrombus is a blood clot formed in blood mainly consisting of a protein called a fibrin, which is necessary for restoring the damaged blood vessel and stopping bleeding. Once bleeding stops and the damaged blood vessel is restored, thrombi are degraded. This phenomenon is called the fibrinolytic action. However, when there is an imbalance between the production of thrombus (coagulation) and its degradation (fibrinolysis), or the condition that thrombus are difficult to be degraded due to aging or stress, blood cots accumulate in blood vessels. These blood clots cause thrombosis such as cardiac infarction and cerebral infarction when they block the blood vessel of the heart and brain, respectively.

Dosage:
Between 600–1,800 milligrams of NAC daily seems to be effective against many conditions; a 600 mg. capsule taken two to three times a day is the recommended dosage to start with.
There’s evidence that 2,000 milligrams is safe for most adults.
Higher doses may be needed to treat certain chronic and degenerative diseases, including COPD, impaired glucose control and cancer. For example, doses of about 2,800 milligrams per day for up to three months seem to be effective for adults with COPD, according to some studies.
My only comment is Thank you each and everyone. We Do Water and I thank everyone doing more than their fare share. I am impressed beyond measure.
Thank you thank you for posting so much important information!
I’ve forwarded this to a dear friend whose 11 year old son is allergic to pineapple! Unfortunately, that’s found in the wonderful products at The Wellness Co.. She was very disappointed to learn it was in the child version of their NATTOKINASE. Unable to recommend a less dosage to her with the adult version, she’ll be happy to have this information! That said, I’m now wondering if bromeliad is important for absorption? Surely not as it’s not in the adult product. I’ll definitely be researching that part.
I’m just grateful to have found you Geneva!
