Doctor's Best Nattokinase 2,000 FU - 270 Vegetarian Capsules
Doctor's Best Nattokinase 2,000 FU - 270 Vegetarian Capsules
Doctor's Best Nattokinase delivers 2,000 FU of nattokinase enzyme in a single vegetarian capsule, in a 270-capsule bottle.
Nattokinase is an enzyme produced when soybeans are fermented into natto, a traditional Japanese food, using Bacillus subtilis. Doctor's Best supplies it at 2,000 fibrinolytic units (FU) per capsule with the vitamin K2 removed. The 270-capsule pack is a full nine-month supply at one capsule a day, so the cost works out lower per capsule than the 60, 90 and 100-count bottles that are more common in Ireland.

It is a food supplement providing 2,000 FU of nattokinase enzyme per vegetarian capsule, in a 270-capsule bottle. The nattokinase has the vitamin K2 removed.
What is nattokinase?
Nattokinase is an enzyme produced during the fermentation of soybeans into natto, a traditional Japanese food, using the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Its potency is measured in fibrinolytic units (FU) rather than in milligrams.
How much nattokinase is in each capsule?
Each vegetarian capsule provides 2,000 FU of nattokinase.
What does FU mean?
FU stands for fibrinolytic units, the standard measure of nattokinase activity. It is the figure used to compare potency between nattokinase products, since there is no established NRV for the enzyme.
How many capsules are in a bottle and how do I take it?
There are 270 vegetarian capsules per bottle. The suggested adult use is one capsule daily between meals, which makes the bottle about a nine-month supply.
Is it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. The capsule shell is hypromellose, the product is non-GMO and labelled vegan. Note that it is derived from soybeans and contains soy.
Does it contain vitamin K2?
No. Natto naturally contains vitamin K2, and Doctor's Best processes this nattokinase with the vitamin K2 removed.
Are there any precautions?
It contains soy, so it is not suitable for anyone with a soy allergy. The manufacturer advises against use if you are pregnant, lactating, or taking anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medication. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if any of these apply to you.
Is nattokinase legal in Ireland?
Yes. Nattokinase is sold legally in Ireland as a food supplement, regulated by the FSAI and HPRA.
How is it delivered?
Orders are dispatched from our Dublin warehouse by DPD on a next-day service. Because it ships from within Ireland there are no customs charges, and delivery is free on orders over €75.
