From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product's single active ingredient is nattokinase NSK-SD, an enzyme derived from natto (fermented soybeans). The inactive ingredients are soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, glycerin fatty acid ester, soybean lecithin, and beeswax.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Nattokinase product and its label doesn't state a use — see Nattokinase's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for nattokinase in the conditions listed—angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome—is insufficient to rate. In other words, we don't have reliable data yet showing whether it works for these purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Nattokinase

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Nattokinase is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but because of its blood-thinning effects, it's not appropriate for people at risk of bleeding. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Rare reports of bleeding, including a case of brain hemorrhage, have been documented. Additionally, some people may have hypersensitivity reactions to nattokinase or related proteins in natto, including anaphylaxis, with symptoms appearing within 2 hours of taking it—mainly affecting the throat and larynx.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Nattokinase.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 289 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin, apixaban, or aspirin)—there's a Moderate risk of increased bleeding, including rare serious bleeding. Also confirm if you're on blood pressure medications, since nattokinase may lower blood pressure further.

B12 Methylcobalamin 3000 mcg with Folic Acid by Allergy Research Group: Common Questions

Does B12 Methylcobalamin 3000 mcg with Folic Acid by Allergy Research Group interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, B12 Methylcobalamin 3000 mcg with Folic Acid has a known interaction with 289 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
B12 Methylcobalamin 3000 mcg with Folic Acid contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on aspirin?
You should not take this product with aspirin without clearing it first with your doctor or pharmacist. There's a documented case of brain bleeding in someone who combined nattokinase with aspirin. This is a Moderate-severity interaction.
Is nattokinase safe during pregnancy?
No, the safety data advises against it during pregnancy. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe, so it's best avoided.
Is nattokinase safe while breastfeeding?
Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it's best avoided during that time. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Can nattokinase cause an allergic reaction?
Yes. Some people can have hypersensitivity reactions to nattokinase or related proteins in natto, ranging from throat and larynx symptoms to anaphylaxis. Symptoms typically appear within 2 hours of taking it. If you're sensitive to natto or have a soy allergy, discuss this with your pharmacist first.
Does this product actually work for heart disease or fatigue?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that nattokinase works reliably for angina, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, or chronic fatigue. The research available so far is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for these purposes.
What is nattokinase?
Nattokinase is an enzyme from natto, a fermented soybean food. It has blood-thinning and blood-vessel-clearing properties, which is why it may lower blood pressure and why it interacts with blood thinners.
