HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nattokinase Complex by OL Olympian Labs
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains 2 active ingredients: nattokinase and grape seed extract. Nattokinase is an enzyme derived from fermented soybeans (natto) that's being studied for cardiovascular effects.
Grape seed extract comes from the seeds of grapes and has been used traditionally for circulation and cellular health. The inactive ingredients include a vegetarian capsule, rice flour, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and ascorbyl palmitate.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for nattokinase isn't yet established for the conditions listed — angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome all have insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works. Grape seed extract shows more promising findings for chronic venous insufficiency (swelling and discomfort in the legs related to vein function), rated possibly effective, but it's rated possibly ineffective for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, hay fever, and obesity.
What either ingredient actually delivers depends on your specific use, so talk with your doctor about whether this product fits your goals.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Nattokinase is generally well tolerated in the short term, but its blood-thinning effect means you should be cautious if you have any bleeding risk. Rare cases of bleeding have been reported, including a serious brain hemorrhage.
Some people can have allergic reactions to natto components (nattokinase or the sticky substance around natto soybeans), with symptoms like throat or laryngeal swelling appearing within 2 hours. Grape seed extract appears well tolerated overall, though mild side effects like abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, and nausea occur in some users — rates similar to placebo — and anaphylaxis to grape skin is very rare.
For pregnancy, the safety data advises against nattokinase; grape seed extract in concentrated supplement form should be avoided during pregnancy due to limited data. Neither ingredient has adequate safety information for breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor before taking it while nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check this product with your pharmacist or doctor if you take blood thinners (like warfarin or aspirin) or blood pressure medications — nattokinase carries a Moderate risk of increased bleeding and low blood pressure. Also verify with your provider if you take cyclosporine, midazolam, or any medication metabolized by your liver (CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, or CYP2E1 pathways), since grape seed extract can interfere with how your body processes these drugs.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may appeal to people interested in cardiovascular support, but the evidence for nattokinase's effectiveness isn't yet solid. If you take blood thinners, blood pressure medications, or have any bleeding concerns, you need to clear this with your doctor or pharmacist first — the bleeding risk is the biggest flag.
Check your exact medications on this page before starting, and talk it over with your own healthcare provider to decide if it's right for you.

Nattokinase Complex by OL Olympian Labs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Nattokinase Complex by OL Olympian Labs has documented interactions with medications through both its nattokinase and grape seed extract.
The most serious concern is a Moderate-severity risk of bleeding with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs like aspirin — nattokinase has blood-thinning effects, and there's a case report of brain bleeding in someone who combined it with low-dose aspirin.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Nattokinase also carries a Moderate risk of low blood pressure (hypotension) if you're already taking blood pressure medications. Grape seed extract introduces additional Moderate-severity interactions with several drug-metabolizing enzymes in your liver (CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP2E1), which can alter how your body processes certain medications — the direction of effect isn't always clear from the evidence, but it means some drugs may become less or more effective.
Grape seed extract also theoretically shares the bleeding risk with blood thinners.
Additionally, grape juice or grape seed extract can reduce the absorption of cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant) by up to 30%, and long-term grape seed extract may decrease midazolam (a sedative) effectiveness. Altogether, these interactions span 1,026 individual medications.
If you take any prescription drug — especially blood thinners, blood pressure meds, or medications processed by your liver — run your exact medications through the checker on this page before starting.

For each ingredient in Nattokinase Complex with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Grape seed extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, grape extracts may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape extracts might decrease platelet aggregation.
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Ingesting grape juice with cyclosporine can reduce cyclosporine absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy young adults shows that intake of purple grape juice 200 mL along with cyclosporine can decrease the absorption of cyclosporine by up to 30% when compared with water. Separate doses of grape juice and cyclosporine by at least 2 hours to avoid this interaction.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, grape juice might reduce the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of CYP1A2.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, grape seed extract may increase the levels of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP2D6 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates
Theoretically, grape seed extract might increase the levels of CYP2E1 substrates.
In vitro and animal research suggests that grape seed proanthocyanidin extract inhibits CYP2E1 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
It is unclear if grape seed extract inhibits or induces CYP3A4; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. However, evidence from animal research shows that grape seed extract may induce CYP3A4 in the liver. So far, these interactions have not been reported in humans.
Midazolam (Versed)
Theoretically, long-term intake of grape seed extract might decrease the effects of midazolam.
Animal research shows that subchronic ingestions of grape seed extract can increase the elimination of intravenous midazolam by increasing hepatic CYP3A4 activity. Single doses of grape seed extract do not appear to affect midazolam elimination.
Phenacetin
Grape juice might decrease phenacetin absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2).
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
It is unclear if grape juice or grape seed extract inhibits CYP2C9; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence shows that grape seed extract or grape juice might inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, a small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that drinking 8 ounces of grape juice once does not affect the clearance of flurbiprofen, a probe-drug for CYP2C9 metabolism. The effects of continued grape juice consumption are unclear.
Nattokinase
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Nattokinase might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
Nattokinase has thrombolytic and anticoagulant effects. There is a case report of intracranial hemorrhage in a patient who added nattokinase to aspirin therapy.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, nattokinase might increase the risk of hypotension when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Some clinical research suggests that nattokinase may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
