Nattokinase NSK - 60 caps

The Japanese dish natto is known as a superfood. It is made by fermenting soybeans and is rich in nutrients such as vitamin K2 and the enzyme nattokinase. Nowadays, both vitamin K2 and nattokinase are available separately as supplements. This is a great advantage for people who don't like the overpowering taste of natto. Vitals Nattokinase-NSK contains very high-quality nattokinase with the brand name NSK-SD® from the Japanese company Japan Bio Science Laboratories (JBSL). By far the most human studies have been conducted with NSK-SD®. Moreover, NSK-SD® is the only nattokinase that has been evaluated by the EFSA, which has led to nattokinase being approved as a supplement in Europe. In short, with Nattokinase-NSK, you can be assured of a very pure nattokinase with optimal enzyme activity. A special superfood for breakfast With the advent of the internet and social media, we have gained much more insight into foreign cuisines. As a result, dishes that are very specifically associated with a certain region have become increasingly well-known. This also applies to natto, a fermented soy product that has been part of Japanese cuisine for hundreds of years. Natto is produced by fermenting soybeans with the bacterium Bacillus subtilis natto. During the fermentation process, characteristic ingredients such as vitamin K2 (in the form of menaquinone-7) and nattokinase (a unique enzyme with a specialized function) are formed. Natto is an unprecedentedly rich source of these nutrients and is therefore known as a superfood. In Japan, it is typically eaten for breakfast with some rice, egg, and mustard. Japanese people who regularly consume natto ingest larger amounts of nattokinase and vitamin K2 than people who do not eat natto. Natto is not easily available everywhere. Moreover, to say the least, it has a very characteristic taste, which means that eating natto is not for everyone. Fortunately, it is now also possible to process nattokinase (and vitamin K2) into food supplements, so you don't have to eat natto to benefit from these nutrients. The best nattokinase comes from Japan In 1998, the Japanese company Japan Bio Science Laboratories (JBSL) succeeded in isolating nattokinase from fermented GMO-free soybeans using a patented production process. Their nattokinase bears the brand name NSK-SD®, which stands for Natural Super Kinase-Spray Dried. One capsule of Vitals Nattokinase-NSK contains 100 mg of NSK-SD®. This corresponds to an enzyme activity of 2000 Fibrinolytic Units (FU). 2000 FU approaches the amount of nattokinase someone would get from an average portion of approximately 50 grams of natto. Nattokinase-NSK does not contain vitamin K2. This is available as a separate supplement if desired. It turns out to be far from easy to produce pure nattokinase with good enzyme activity. Several laboratory tests are needed to properly assess the quality of a nattokinase supplement. NSK-SD® passes all these tests with flying colors, unlike some other nattokinase supplements on the market. Moreover, the quality and safety of NSK-SD® have been confirmed time and again in various human studies. Finally, it is the only nattokinase on the market that has received an official safety assessment from the EFSA, on the basis of which nattokinase has been approved as a supplement in Europe. In short, the best nattokinase comes from Japan and can be found in Vitals Nattokinase-NSK.
