Mechanism of Action of Nattokinase

Nattokinase significantly contributes to preventing high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases by facilitating the degradation of fibrin, a protein that produces thrombus. Consequently, it inhibits the formation of blood clots, activates pro-urokinase which is a precursor to urokinase, an enzyme that dissolves blood clots in the body, and increases the amount of plasminogen activator that produces plasmin, a thrombolytic enzyme, and facilitates blood circulation.

Competency of GF Nattokinase

Bacillus subtilis natto extracts powder containing nattokinase is produced through state-of-the-art fermentation and purification technology. The technology uses Bacillus subtilis natto strain, isolated from Chunggukjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean food that has been used traditionally. It is a government-approved health food ingredient in Korea by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KFDA) for blood circulation. Its efficacy has been verified through a clinical trial in Korea in 2013. It has now become a global health food ingredient that is consumed by people not only in Korea but also all over the world with exports continuing to expand to the countries including the United States and Japan, etc.
