MST Nattokinase 90 Capsules

One MST Nattokinase capsule contains 100 mg of fermented soybean extract with nattokinase. The enzymatic activity is 20,000 FU/g, which corresponds to 2,000 FU per capsule with 100 mg of extract.

MST Nattokinase 90 capsules are suitable for a vegan lifestyle, as they are labeled "Vegan Capsules" and the nattokinase is derived from fermented soybeans, a plant-based source.

For optimal absorption, it is recommended to take one capsule daily with water, ideally on an empty stomach or between meals to avoid interfering with the enzyme activity of the nattokinase due to stomach contents. It is also recommended to swallow the capsule with plenty of water.

Taking MST Nattokinase in conjunction with blood-thinning medications or before surgical procedures carries significant risks, as the nattokinase enzyme contained in the capsules itself possesses fibrinolytic properties and can affect blood clotting. When used concurrently with anticoagulants such as phenprocoumon or warfarin, as well as platelet aggregation inhibitors such as acetylsalicylic acid or clopidogrel, there is a risk of mutual potentiation of effects, which significantly increases the risk of uncontrolled bleeding, hematomas, or severe internal bleeding. MST Nattokinase also poses a potential safety risk in the context of upcoming surgery, as delayed blood clotting during or after the procedure can lead to complications and increased blood loss. For this reason, the medication should be discontinued well in advance of any surgical procedure after consulting with the treating physician. It is essential to have any planned supplementation with MST nattokinase medically clarified beforehand if medications affecting blood clotting are already being taken or surgical interventions are pending, in order to avoid health complications.

Enzymatic activity, expressed in fibrinolytic units (FU), is the key measure of the strength, quality, and biological efficacy of nattokinase capsules. It indicates how effectively the enzyme can break down fibrin—the protein responsible for blood clotting—and thus dissolve blood clots. A higher FU count signifies greater fibrinolytic activity; common high-quality preparations often offer 2,000 FU per capsule as a standard dosage to support cardiovascular health.
