HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nattovena Pure Nattokinase by Arthur Andrew Medical

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

Nattovena Pure Nattokinase is a single-ingredient supplement: nattokinase, an enzyme extracted from natto (fermented soybeans). It's designed to support circulation and cardiovascular function through its blood-thinning and clot-dissolving properties.

The capsule also contains cellulose 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: circulatory and heart health.
  • 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's effectiveness for specific conditions — angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome — is insufficient to make a reliable rating at this time. If you're considering it for a particular health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the current evidence supports its use for 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 because of its blood-thinning effect, caution is warranted if you have any bleeding risk or a history of bleeding disorders. Rare cases of severe bleeding, including brain hemorrhage, have been reported.

Some people are sensitive to natto or nattokinase itself and may have hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis; symptoms typically appear within 2 hours of taking it and affect the throat and airway. There isn't enough safety data to use nattokinase during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

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 or antiplatelets) like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel — moderate risk of increased bleeding. Also flag any blood pressure medications you're on — nattokinase may lower your blood pressure further.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Nattokinase may help support circulation, but the evidence for specific health claims isn't yet established. If you take blood pressure medications or blood thinners, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting — the combination could increase your bleeding risk or drop your blood pressure too low.

If you have a natto allergy or unexplained bleeding history, this product isn't right for you. Your healthcare provider can help you decide if it fits your needs.

Formula

Many Asian cultures exhibit superior cardiovascular health in comparison to average US adults, which is widely attributed to a diet higher in natural food-based enzymes. The Japanese have consumed a dish known as Natto for centuries which contains the heart healthy enzyme nattokinase. Nattovena is one of the world's strongest pure-nattokinase products on the market, rated at 4,000 fibrinolytic (fibrin-dissolving) units of activity per capsule. Nattovena supports circulatory and heart health by supporting normal Fibrin Levels. Fibrin is a protein that develops in excess as we age and plays a significant role in our health and general well-being. Nattovena is a powerful blood-cleansing enzyme, formulated to help maintain normal cardiovascular health.

Nattovena Pure Nattokinase by Arthur Andrew Medical: Common Questions

Does Nattovena Pure Nattokinase by Arthur Andrew Medical interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nattovena Pure Nattokinase 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?
Nattovena Pure Nattokinase 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 this if I'm on aspirin?
Not without checking first. There's a documented case of serious brain bleeding when nattokinase was added to low-dose aspirin. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them — they can assess your individual bleeding risk.
What is nattokinase, and where does it come from?
Nattokinase is an enzyme from natto, a traditional Japanese fermented soybean food. It's isolated and concentrated into supplement form. It works as a natural blood thinner and may help dissolve clots.
Is it safe if I have a soybean allergy?
Be cautious. Some people allergic to natto have had anaphylaxis-type reactions to nattokinase. If you have a soybean or natto allergy, avoid this product or talk with your doctor first.
Can I take this during pregnancy?
There isn't enough safety data, so it's best avoided during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
What conditions does this actually help?
The evidence for nattokinase in angina, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic fatigue isn't solid enough yet to make reliable claims. Your doctor can discuss whether it might be worth trying for your situation.
