HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nattokinase 50 mg by Bronson Laboratories

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 27, 2026

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 extracted from natto (fermented soybeans). Nattokinase has thrombolytic and anticoagulant properties — meaning it can help break down clots and thin the blood.

The inactive ingredients are gelatin, soybean oil, vegetable glycerin, yellow beeswax, natural caramel color, and purified water.

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: Overall cardio support derived from soybeans.
  • 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 yet in the data we hold. The product claims to address angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome, but all these conditions show insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for them.

If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk it over with your doctor to weigh whether the evidence fits your situation.

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 you need to be cautious if you have any bleeding risk — including if you're scheduled for surgery or have a bleeding disorder. The safety data advises against using it during pregnancy, and there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding, so those should be avoided.

Rare reports link nattokinase to hemorrhage, including a case of brain bleeding when combined with aspirin. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have also been reported in people sensitive to natto or its components.

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 doctor or pharmacist before taking nattokinase if you use anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners like warfarin, dabigatran, or aspirin) — there's a moderate risk of bleeding, including severe bleeding in the brain. Also check if you take blood pressure medications, since nattokinase may lower blood pressure further.

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 is an enzyme supplement marketed for cardiovascular and other conditions, but evidence for those claims is thin. It has real blood-thinning properties, so if you take anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, or blood pressure medications, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it.

It should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Nattokinase 50 mg by Bronson Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Nattokinase 50 mg by Bronson Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nattokinase 50 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 50 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 disease?
The evidence isn't clear yet. We don't have reliable evidence to rate nattokinase for cardiovascular disease, angina, atherosclerosis, or the other conditions it's marketed for. Talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense for your situation.
Is it safe if I'm taking aspirin?
Not without checking first. There's a documented case of someone who had brain bleeding after taking nattokinase while on aspirin therapy. Since nattokinase thins the blood, this combination carries a moderate risk of bleeding. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to weigh whether it's right for you.
What's in this supplement besides nattokinase?
The only active ingredient is nattokinase. The inactive ingredients are gelatin, soybean oil, vegetable glycerin, yellow beeswax, natural caramel color, and purified water.
Can I take it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, you should avoid it. The safety data advises against nattokinase during pregnancy, and there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
What side effects can it cause?
Bleeding — including rare severe bleeding in the brain — is the main concern, especially if you take blood thinners. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur in people sensitive to natto or its components. Most people tolerate it without problems, but these risks are real.
