That’s why I put them in the smoothie. They just vanish into the other flavors. But chewing beans - no thanks.

you ferment the soya beans first? how about regular tofu or fermented tofu???

That’s what natto is: fermented soybeans with a very particular bacteria that produces the nattokinase. I ferment the beans for 36 hours.

How many times do I have to mention the smoothie? :joy: Can’t taste it.

Just take the pills. :slightly_smiling_face:

I apologize if this information was already posted. There are relatively few primary studies examining the effects of nattokinase on arterial health, including regressing plaque, but one below ran for 12 months and reported encouraging findings on arterial health and lipid levels. While it was a retrospective study, it was well done and presents several findings of significance.

I have been taking 4,000 GU of Natto for a few months but recently increased it to 10,000 FU. I have these questions about timing (better with or without food or with a particular food) and the co-administration of K2 (with or w/o food). Currently I’m splitting the 10,000 FU into a morning and an afternoon dose, both without food. I’m taking capsules. Does that seem to be the best form in terms of ensuring a consistently adequate dose?
