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 fermented soybeans that breaks down proteins with blood-thinning and clot-dissolving effects. The capsule also includes inactive ingredients (hypromellose, rice flour, and microcrystalline cellulose) that serve as filler and binder.

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 remains insufficient across the conditions studied in our data — angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome all lack reliable evidence to establish whether it actually works for these purposes. If you're thinking about taking it for any of these, talk with your doctor about what the science supports.

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 short-term, but its blood-thinning effect means you need to be careful if you already have a bleeding risk. Rare cases of bleeding — including brain hemorrhage — have been reported, particularly when combined with aspirin or other blood thinners.

Not enough safety data exists for pregnancy, so it's best avoided if you're pregnant. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it should be avoided then as well.

Additionally, people sensitive to natto or its components (including polygamma glutamic acid) can have hypersensitivity reactions, ranging from local throat or larynx symptoms to anaphylaxis, usually within 2 hours of taking it.

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.

Double-check this with your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — nattokinase can increase your bleeding risk, and there's a case report of serious brain bleeding when combined with aspirin. Also check if you're on blood pressure medications, as nattokinase may lower your blood pressure further.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Nattokinase may appeal to you if you're interested in cardiovascular support, but the evidence for it remains unproven. The biggest concern is its blood-thinning effect — if you take aspirin, warfarin, or other blood thinners or blood pressure medications, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Talk it over with your healthcare provider first.

Nattokinase 4,000 FU 200 mg by Double Wood Supplements: Common Questions

Does Nattokinase 4,000 FU 200 mg by Double Wood Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nattokinase 4,000 FU 200 mg 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?
Nattokinase 4,000 FU 200 mg 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.
Does nattokinase actually work for heart health or blood clots?
The evidence isn't established yet in our data. We have insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works for angina, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, or other conditions it's marketed for. Talk with your doctor about whether it's worth trying and what the science currently shows.
Can I take nattokinase if I'm on aspirin or warfarin?
Not without checking with your doctor first. Nattokinase thins the blood on its own, and combining it with blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin raises your risk of bleeding — a case report even documented brain hemorrhage when someone added nattokinase to aspirin therapy.
Is nattokinase safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, not enough safety data exists. It's best avoided during pregnancy. Safety while breastfeeding is also unknown, so avoid it then too. Talk with your doctor if you're considering it during either phase.
Can nattokinase cause allergic reactions?
Yes, if you're sensitive to natto (fermented soybeans) or its components. Reactions can range from throat or larynx swelling to anaphylaxis, usually within 2 hours of taking it. If you have a soy allergy or natto sensitivity, steer clear.
What are the main side effects?
Nattokinase is generally well tolerated short-term, but rare cases of bleeding — including serious brain hemorrhage — have been reported, especially when combined with blood thinners. If you have a bleeding disorder or are on blood-thinning medication, that's your biggest risk.
What's actually in this capsule besides nattokinase?
The capsule contains hypromellose, rice flour, and microcrystalline cellulose — these are inactive filler and binder ingredients that help form the capsule.
