The reason natto itself isn’t just eaten whole is fourfold: it has an unpleasant smell and taste; it contains high amounts of vitamin K2, which can interfere with medicines such as Warfarin; the nutrients (enzyme active components) can vary greatly between different natto brands; and it is difficult for Westerners to find. The Japanese developers of NattoTabs have solved these problems by extracting the enzymes from the natto - the nattokinase - and presenting it in an easy-to-take odourless tablet, so that everyone can now enjoy the benefits of natto. They do this by culturing the natto bacilli (good bacteria) that form during the fermentation process of natto, and then extracting the nattokinase enzyme component, discarding everything else including the Vitamin K2. And unlike competing nattokinase brands, the manufacturers of NattoTabs extract the nattokinase during the end of the fermentation cycle, making this brand the most effective and highest quality nattokinase supplement available. And what is more, NattoTabs natto kinase can be taken safely and effectively long-term. NKCP NattoTabs nattokinase is available in a handy 10 tablet travel pack and a larger 60 tablet pack. The tablets are small and easy to swallow, and for normal health maintenance, the recommended intake is 1 - 2 tablets (250mg in total) per day with water after the evening meal, or as directed by your health practitioner.
