HelloPharmacist Scorecard of NattoZyme Nattokinase 36 mg by NutriCology

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.

NattoZyme contains one active ingredient: nattokinase NSK-SD, a fibrinolytic enzyme derived from natto (fermented soybeans). The softgel capsule also contains inactive ingredients — soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, soybean lecithin, glycerin fatty acid ester, and beeswax — that help deliver the active 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 hold does not establish nattokinase as effective for any condition we checked — angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the clinical data available to us isn't strong enough to say one way or the other.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor about what the current evidence supports.

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 short-term, but because it has blood-thinning effects, caution is warranted if you have any bleeding risk. Rare reports of bleeding have occurred, including a case of brain hemorrhage in someone combining nattokinase with aspirin.

Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in people sensitive to natto or to components in it — symptoms can start within 2 hours and may involve the throat and larynx. There isn't enough safety data to recommend nattokinase during pregnancy, so it's best avoided then.

Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid it to be safe. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

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.

Before you take NattoZyme, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin — nattokinase can increase bleeding risk, and a case of brain hemorrhage has been reported with the combination. Also double-check if you take blood pressure medications, as nattokinase may lower blood pressure further.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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.

NattoZyme is a single-ingredient product that may appeal to people looking for a fibrinolytic enzyme, but the clinical evidence we hold doesn't yet establish it for any specific condition. The main concern is interaction with blood thinners and blood pressure medications — a combination that requires careful oversight from your doctor or pharmacist.

If you're on any anticoagulant or antihypertensive drug, or if you have a bleeding disorder or sensitivity to soy products, check with your healthcare provider before starting it.

NattoZyme Nattokinase 36 mg by NutriCology: Common Questions

Does NattoZyme Nattokinase 36 mg by NutriCology interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, NattoZyme Nattokinase 36 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?
NattoZyme Nattokinase 36 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.
Can I take nattokinase if I'm on aspirin?
Not without talking to your doctor first. There's a documented case of brain bleeding in someone who added nattokinase to aspirin therapy. Nattokinase has blood-thinning effects, and combining it with aspirin raises the bleeding risk. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to evaluate whether it's safe for you.
Does nattokinase actually lower blood pressure?
Some clinical research suggests it may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If you already take blood pressure medication, adding nattokinase could theoretically lower your pressure too far, which is why you should check with your doctor first.
What's nattokinase, and where does it come from?
Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme — a protein that breaks down fibrin, a clot-forming substance in blood — extracted from natto, which is fermented soybean. This product contains the NSK-SD form.
Can I take this if I'm allergic to soy?
No. This product contains soybean oil, soybean lecithin, and nattokinase derived from fermented soybeans. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in people sensitive to natto or its components, so avoid it if you have a soy allergy.
Is nattokinase safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Not based on current safety data. There isn't enough information to know it's safe during pregnancy, so it's best avoided then. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid it to be safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
What conditions does this product treat?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish nattokinase as effective for any condition we checked — including angina, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The research so far is insufficient to say one way or the other. If you're thinking about it for a specific health goal, discuss that with your doctor.
