HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nattokinase Serrapeptase Enteric Coated by Solaray

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: nattokinase and serrapeptase. Both are enzymes — nattokinase is derived from fermented soybeans, and serrapeptase is a protease enzyme.

The product also includes inactive ingredients like cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, dextrin, and an enteric coating, which allows the capsule to release its contents in the small intestine rather than the stomach.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Sinus and cardiovascular support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Angina, Asthma, Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Chronic bronchitis, Hypertension — 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.
  • Also on file: Serrapeptase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic bronchitis, Asthma.

The evidence supporting these ingredients is limited. For serrapeptase, the data we hold rates its use for chronic bronchitis, asthma, atherosclerosis, back pain, and osteoporosis as having insufficient reliable evidence.

Similarly, nattokinase's effectiveness for angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome are all rated as insufficient reliable evidence. Neither ingredient has established proof in the studies we hold.

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Both serrapeptase and nattokinase are generally well tolerated in the short term, though long-term safety hasn't been thoroughly studied. Serrapeptase may cause epigastric pain, stomach upset, and nausea, though these side effects occur at the same rate as placebo in trials.

Nattokinase carries a rare but serious risk of bleeding, and case reports exist of brain hemorrhage when combined with aspirin. If you're sensitive to natto (fermented soybeans), nattokinase can trigger allergic reactions including anaphylaxis.

During pregnancy, neither ingredient has enough safety data — both should be avoided. The same applies to breastfeeding: there isn't enough information to know they're safe, so it's best to skip them while nursing.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding and considering this product.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Nattokinase, Serrapeptase.
  • 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with us if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel, or aspirin) — both ingredients carry a moderate risk of increased bleeding. If you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), nattokinase may lower your pressure further.

These are the main medication types to verify.

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.

This product pairs two blood-thinning enzymes, which means it's not right for anyone taking blood thinners or blood pressure medications without a conversation first. If you don't take those drugs and you're looking for symptom relief for one of the conditions listed, keep in mind the evidence to support either ingredient is weak.

Nattokinase Serrapeptase Enteric Coated by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Nattokinase Serrapeptase Enteric Coated by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nattokinase Serrapeptase Enteric Coated 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 Serrapeptase Enteric Coated contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 this if I'm on aspirin?
No — not without checking with your pharmacist first. Nattokinase has a documented case report of brain bleeding when combined with aspirin, and both ingredients in this product have blood-thinning effects that could increase your bleeding risk. Always verify with us before pairing this with any blood thinner.
What are serrapeptase and nattokinase, exactly?
Both are enzymes. Nattokinase comes from fermented soybeans and serrapeptase is a protease enzyme. They're included in this product because they have blood-thinning properties, though the evidence that they actually help treat the conditions they're marketed for is weak.
What are the most common side effects?
Serrapeptase may cause stomach pain, upset, or nausea, though in trials these happened at the same rate as placebo. Nattokinase is generally well tolerated short-term. The bigger concern is rare but serious bleeding.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
No. There isn't enough safety data for either ingredient during pregnancy, so both should be avoided. Talk with your doctor if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety information for either ingredient while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it. Chat with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice if you're nursing.
Does this actually work?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that these ingredients reliably work for the conditions they're marketed for — everything from heart disease to back pain rates as insufficient evidence. Short-term use appears well tolerated, but proof of benefit isn't there yet.
