HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nattokinase NSK-SD by Pure Prescriptions

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
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.

Nattokinase NSK-SD by Pure Prescriptions contains one active ingredient: NSK-SD nattokinase, a protein-digesting enzyme derived from fermented soybeans. The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, and rice flour is included as an inactive 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 we have doesn't establish whether nattokinase works for any of its proposed uses—angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, or chronic fatigue syndrome all carry insufficient reliable evidence ratings in our data. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the evidence isn't solid enough for us to rate it one way or the other.

Talk with your doctor about whether this product makes sense for your specific health goal.

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 because of its blood-thinning effects, it carries caution for anyone at higher risk of bleeding. Rare cases of hemorrhage—including brain bleeding—have been reported, particularly when combined with other blood thinners.

If you have a history of bleeding problems or take blood thinners, this is something to discuss with your doctor before starting. Not enough safety data exists for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

The safety notes advise against use during both. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

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 before starting if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin or aspirin, or any antiplatelet drugs—there's a Moderate risk of bleeding. Also flag any blood pressure medications you're on, since nattokinase may lower pressure further, creating a Moderate risk of blood pressure dropping too low.

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 with blood-thinning and blood pressure-lowering properties. If you take blood thinners or blood pressure medications, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product—the interaction risk is real.

The effectiveness for heart health and other conditions isn't established in the data we hold. Discuss with your own healthcare provider whether nattokinase is appropriate for you and your medications.

Nattokinase NSK-SD by Pure Prescriptions: Common Questions

Does Nattokinase NSK-SD by Pure Prescriptions interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nattokinase NSK-SD 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 NSK-SD 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 nattokinase with aspirin?
No—combining nattokinase with aspirin or any blood thinner carries a Moderate risk of bleeding. There's even a documented case of brain bleeding when someone took nattokinase with low-dose aspirin. Talk with your doctor before taking this product if you're on aspirin or any blood thinner.
Will nattokinase lower my blood pressure?
Some clinical research suggests nattokinase may reduce blood pressure. If you already take medication to manage high blood pressure, adding nattokinase could push it lower than intended. Check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Is nattokinase safe during pregnancy?
No—the safety notes advise against it during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety data. If you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Can I take nattokinase while breastfeeding?
No—safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so the recommendation is to avoid it. If you're breastfeeding and interested in nattokinase, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it's appropriate for your situation.
What if I'm allergic to soy or natto?
Nattokinase is derived from fermented soybeans (natto), and rare hypersensitivity reactions—including anaphylaxis—have been reported in people sensitive to natto. Symptoms can start within 2 hours. If you have a known soy or natto allergy, do not take this product.
Does nattokinase actually work for heart disease?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence for cardiovascular disease, angina, and atherosclerosis. That means we don't have solid proof it works for those conditions. Talk with your doctor about whether nattokinase is supported by science for your particular health goal.
