HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nattokinase 4,000 FU 200 mg by Double Wood Supplements

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

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 contains one active ingredient: nattokinase, an enzyme derived from natto (a fermented soy food). Each capsule delivers 4,000 fibrin units (FU) of nattokinase in a 200 mg dose.

The remaining ingredients—hypromellose, rice flour, and microcrystalline cellulose—are inactive fillers and capsule material that help deliver the active ingredient.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Nattokinase's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Heart and circulatory health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Angina, Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Nattokinase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Angina (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Nattokinase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, and more.

The evidence for nattokinase isn't established in our data for the conditions we checked. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, or chronic fatigue syndrome.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—just that the research we have access to doesn't yet support a clear effectiveness claim for these uses.

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 the short term, but its blood-thinning effect means caution if you have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners. Rare cases of bleeding—including serious bleeding into the brain—have been reported, especially when combined with aspirin or other anticoagulants.

The safety data advises against using nattokinase during pregnancy, and there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided in both situations. People with a known sensitivity to natto (the fermented soy food nattokinase comes from) should also avoid it, since hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Nattokinase

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.

Check with your pharmacist before taking this product if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel, or aspirin)—Moderate risk of increased bleeding. Also check if you take blood pressure medications, since nattokinase may lower blood pressure further.

Altogether, these interactions span 287 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Nattokinase may appeal to people interested in cardiovascular support, but the documented blood-thinning effect means you need to be cautious if you take any blood thinners or blood pressure medications. Talk with your pharmacist before starting this product—especially if you're on aspirin, warfarin, or other anticoagulants.

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 nattokinase if I'm on aspirin?
No—there's documented risk here. A case report shows someone taking nattokinase alongside low-dose aspirin developed serious bleeding in the brain. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
Is nattokinase safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
