Who Is Nattokinase Blend For?
This blend is designed for adults who want proactive circulation and heart health support, especially if you:
-
Spend long hours sitting (desk work, driving, travel)
-
Have cold hands and feet or feel “sluggish” circulation
-
Are focused on healthy blood pressure and arteries as you age
-
Have a family history of heart or vascular issues (and want lifestyle support)
-
Are working on a longevity routine and want to support healthy blood flow, mobility, and resilience
Important: Nattokinase is not a replacement for prescription blood thinners or medical treatment. Always talk to your healthcare provider if you are on medication or have existing cardiovascular conditions.
How Nattokinase Works in Your Body
The short version
Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme originally discovered in natto, a traditional Japanese fermented soybean dish. It helps your body maintain healthy blood flow by supporting the natural breakdown of fibrin – a protein involved in clot formation.PMC+1
In plain language:
It helps keep your “blood highways” flowing more smoothly, which is essential for heart, brain, and whole-body health.
What the research shows
Emerging human and observational studies suggest that nattokinase may:
-
Support healthy blood pressure
-
In one randomized, placebo-controlled trial, adults with elevated blood pressure who took 2,000 FU/day for 8 weeks saw modest reductions in systolic blood pressure vs placebo.Nature+1
-
-
Improve lipid profile & arterial plaque measures at higher doses
-
A large human study (over 1,000 participants) using 10,800 FU/day for 12 months reported improved blood lipids and a reduction in measures of atherosclerotic plaque, with good tolerability.Frontiers+1
-
-
Support overall cardiovascular health
-
Population research in Japan links regular natto consumption (the original food source of nattokinase) with reduced cardiovascular disease mortality.PMC+1
-
These findings are promising, but nattokinase is still a dietary supplement, not a drug. It should be used as part of a broader heart-healthy lifestyle (diet, movement, sleep, stress management) under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

-
Works best when stacked with movement, nutrient-dense foods, sleep, and stress management
Supplements support your body’s natural processes over time. Consistency is key – think in months and lifestyle, not days.
Who Should Not Take Nattokinase Blend?
Because nattokinase has effects on fibrin and clot-related pathways, it’s not appropriate for everyone.
You should avoid nattokinase or use it only under medical supervision if you:
-
Are currently taking blood thinners, anticoagulants, or antiplatelet medications
-
Have a history of bleeding disorders, hemorrhagic stroke, or serious clotting abnormalities
-
Have an active peptic ulcer or uncontrolled bleeding risk
-
Are scheduled for surgery (typically discontinue well before and after per medical advice) Drugs.com+1
-
Are pregnant or breastfeeding, as safety data are limited Drugs.com+1
Safety reminder:
Always discuss nattokinase with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have cardiovascular conditions or take prescription medication.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nattokinase Blend
1. Is Nattokinase Blend a blood thinner?
Nattokinase supports the body’s natural ability to break down fibrin and maintain healthy circulation. Research suggests it has antithrombotic and fibrinolytic activity, but it is not a prescription blood thinner and should not be used in place of medications your doctor prescribes.MDPI
If you’re on anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, or have a clotting/bleeding condition, talk to your healthcare provider before using it.
2. How long can I take Nattokinase Blend?
Human studies show nattokinase used safely for months to years at various doses, with good tolerability in healthy adults.PMC+1
However, because heart health is complex, it’s wise to re-check with your healthcare provider periodically and monitor any changes in your meds, conditions, or lab work.
3. How soon will I feel a difference?
Some people feel subtle changes (like less heaviness, warmer hands/feet, more ease with activity) within a few weeks, especially when combined with movement and healthier habits. Clinical improvements in certain blood markers or arterial measures in studies have typically been seen over 8–12 weeks or longer.Nature+1
Think of this as a long-term daily ritual, not an instant fix.
4. Can I take Nattokinase Blend with my current supplements?
In many cases, nattokinase can be combined with other supplements aimed at heart, energy, and longevity support, but interactions are always possible—especially with products that also affect blood flow or clotting.
You should definitely check with your healthcare provider if you’re taking:
-
Omega-3s or high-dose fish oil
-
Other circulation or “blood thinning” formulas
-
Any prescription cardiovascular medications
5. Is Nattokinase Blend safe for people with high blood pressure or cholesterol?
Some clinical studies suggest nattokinase may help support healthy blood pressure and lipid profiles when combined with lifestyle changes.Nature+2Dove Press+2
However:
-
It is not a replacement for prescribed blood pressure or cholesterol medication.
-
Always involve your doctor if you have hypertension, high cholesterol, a history of heart disease, or are on related medication.
6. Is Nattokinase Blend vegan and allergen-friendly?
(Use your actual label details here.)
-
Note capsule shell (vegan or not)
-
Any major allergen info (soy traces due to natto, etc.)
-
Free-from list (gluten, dairy, synthetic colors, etc. if applicable)
7. Can I take Nattokinase Blend if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
Because safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding are limited, major references recommend avoiding nattokinase during these times.Drugs.com+1
Always consult your OB/GYN or pediatric provider before taking any supplement while pregnant or nursing.
8. What’s the difference between eating natto and taking Nattokinase Blend?
-
Natto: Whole traditional food with nattokinase plus vitamin K2, fiber, and other nutrients. Taste & texture can be challenging, and nattokinase content varies by batch. Generally speaking, a normal serving of natto can have around 2,000FU in it. PMC+1
-
Nattokinase Blend: Convenient, standardized enzyme dose (6,000 FU) plus synergistic ingredients like GABA, garlic extract, and moromi vinegar, without the natto flavor. This makes it a lot easier to get a larger dosage on a daily basis.
Many Japanese longevity routines rely on both: traditional foods + smart supplementation.
A Brief History of Natto & Nattokinase

To understand nattokinase, it helps to go back to its source: natto, a sticky, stringy, strongly flavored dish made from soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis natto. Natto has been eaten in Japan for hundreds of years, with written records tracing it back at least to the 11th century, and legends suggesting it may have been discovered accidentally when cooked soybeans were left to ferment in straw. Light Cellar+1
For generations, natto has been considered a kind of “food medicine” in Japan—associated with heart health, strong bones, and longevity. It’s naturally rich in vitamin K2, probiotics, and a fibrin-dissolving enzyme that would later be identified as nattokinase.Light Cellar+1
In the early 1980s, Japanese researcher Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi, working at the University of Chicago, was searching for natural substances that could help dissolve blood clots. In a now-famous experiment, he placed natto on an artificial fibrin (clot) in a petri dish and saw it dissolve the fibrin within hours. He isolated the active enzyme, named it “nattokinase” (“enzyme from natto”), and opened the door to decades of cardiovascular research. Physicians Preference Vitamins+3PMC+3Media Website CDN+3
Since then, studies have explored how both natto itself and purified nattokinase may support healthy blood flow, blood pressure, and cardiovascular outcomes. Population research in Japan suggests that higher intake of natto and fermented soy products is associated with reduced cardiovascular disease mortality and better longevity, which aligns with what Japanese culture has intuitively believed for generations. Dr.Oracle+4ScienceDirect+4PMC+4
Crane Wellness’ Nattokinase Blend builds on that heritage—capturing the circulatory-supportive power of nattokinase in a precise, daily dose, while layering in other Japanese-inspired ingredients for a modern, easy-to-take ritual.
