Nattokinase and Cardiovascular Health
NSK-SD®, manufactured by Japan Bio Science Laboratory Co., LTD (JBSL),
is a best-selling raw material for nattokinase supplements and is
considered a key ingredient for maintaining good cardiovascular health.
Unlike other anti-coagulant agents such as streptokinase, heparins or
urokinase, nattokinase appears to prevent thrombosis without destroying
plasma’s clotting capability. This presentation will describe the
discovery and purification of nattokinase, explain how it works in the
fibrinolytic system, review the current consensus of published data,
summarize our lab’s coagulation profile of NSK-SD, and present our
opinion on the current status and future potential of nattokinase.
Speaker: Brad H. Lewis, M.D., medical director, Machaon Diagnostics,
