Interesting facts about nattokinase:
Nattokinase - A potent enzyme catalyst for fibrinolysis
Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted from fermented soybeans. Its main function as a natural anticoagulant makes it a promising agent in preventive medicine for cardiovascular conditions. There are ongoing studies investigating its efficacy against the spike protein of SARS-CoV2.
Mechanism of nattokinase
Nattokinase belongs to the protease family, which also includes the endogenous enzymes plasmin and thrombin. While thrombin promotes clotting, plasmin dissolves clots through a process known as fibrinolysis. The dynamic balance of these enzymes ensures optimal blood flow. Nattokinase has similar fibrinolytic abilities to plasmin and can therefore break down clots.
Origin and properties of nattokinase
Nattokinase is one of the dominant enzymes in the traditional Japanese food natto. To produce it, soybeans are fermented with the specific bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis var. natto. This enzyme, consisting of around 275 amino acids, is particularly important for breaking down proteins. It has the remarkable ability to reduce clots and is therefore considered a natural anticoagulant.
Natto - A culinary and medicinal delicacy
Natto not only represents a cultural delicacy in Japan, but is also recognized as a traditional remedy, especially for cardiovascular challenges and fatigue. In addition to nattokinase, it also contains other proteases with fibrinolytic effects, with nattokinase being the most intensively studied. It is often postulated that natto contributes to the overall health and longevity of the Japanese population.
Important notes:
People taking blood thinners and those about to undergo surgery should avoid nattokinase.
