Vitals Nattokinase-NSK, the one and only NSK-SD® with 2000 FU nattokinase
- unique enzyme from fermented soybeans
- high-quality and pure nattokinase with high enzyme activity
- most widely used in scientific research
The Japanese dish natto is known as a superfood. It is made by fermenting soybeans and is rich in nutrients such as vitamin K2 and the enzyme nattokinase. Both vitamin K2 and nattokinase are now available separately as supplements. This is a great advantage for people who dislike the overpowering taste of natto.
Vitals Nattokinase-NSK contains high-quality nattokinase branded NSK-SD® by the Japanese company Japan Bio Science Laboratories (JBSL). By far the most human studies have been conducted with NSK-SD®. Moreover, NSK-SD® is the only nattokinase assessed by the EFSA, meaning nattokinase is approved as a supplement in Europe. In short, with Nattokinase-NSK, you can be assured of a highly pure nattokinase with optimal enzyme activity.
A special superfood for breakfast
With the advent of the internet and social media, we have gained much greater insight into foreign cuisines. As a result, dishes specifically linked to a particular region have become increasingly well-known. This also applies to natto, a fermented soybean product that has been part of Japanese cuisine for hundreds of years. Natto is made by fermenting soybeans with the bacterium Bacillus subtilis natto. During the fermentation process, characteristic components such as vitamin K2 (in the form of menaquinone-7) and nattokinase (a unique enzyme with a specialized function) are created.
Natto is an incredibly rich source of these nutrients and is therefore known as a superfood. In Japan, it's typically eaten for breakfast with rice, egg, and mustard. Japanese people who regularly consume natto ingest higher amounts of nattokinase and vitamin K2 than people who don't eat natto. Natto isn't readily available everywhere. Moreover, it has a very distinctive flavor, to say the least, making eating natto not for everyone. Fortunately, it's now possible to incorporate nattokinase (and vitamin K2) into nutritional supplements, so you don't have to eat natto to still benefit from these nutrients.
The best nattokinase comes from Japan
In 1998, the Japanese company Japan Bio Science Laboratories (JBSL) succeeded in isolating nattokinase from fermented GMO-free soybeans using a patented production process. Their nattokinase carries the brand name NSK-SD®, which stands for Natural Super Kinase-Spray Dried. One capsule of Vitals Nattokinase-NSK contains 100 mg of NSK-SD®. This corresponds to an enzyme activity of 2000 Fibrinolytic Units (FU). 2000 FU approximates the amount of nattokinase a person receives with an average serving of approximately 50 grams of natto. Nattokinase-NSK does not contain vitamin K2. This is available as a separate supplement if desired.
Producing pure nattokinase with good enzyme activity is far from easy. Several laboratory tests are required to accurately determine the quality of a nattokinase supplement. NSK-SD® passes all these tests with flying colors, unlike some other nattokinase supplements on the market. Moreover, the quality and safety of NSK-SD® have been repeatedly confirmed in various human studies. Finally, it is the only nattokinase on the market that has received an official safety assessment from the EFSA, based on which nattokinase has been approved as a supplement in Europe. In short, the best nattokinase comes from Japan and can be found in Vitals' Nattokinase-NSK.
who benefits from nattokinase?
The use of muscle-strengthening substances, substances that promote red blood cell production, and substances used by top athletes to recover faster all carry risks.
Nattokinase can be seen as a form of prevention, a guarantee that you won't pay the full price for these substances.
The Japanese eat fermented soybeans as part of their daily breakfast.
Consumers in Western Europe can benefit from this healthy Japanese lifestyle by taking a simple supplement like this daily.
