You’ve made a great decision to support your cardiovascular health with Nattokinase, a powerful Japanese enzyme. But to get the most out of any supplement, it’s important to know how to take it effectively.
Is there a "best time" to take it? Should you take it with food? Let's cover the simple guidelines for incorporating Nattokinase into your daily routine.
What is the Best Time to Take Nattokinase?
The most common recommendation for taking Nattokinase is on an empty stomach.
Why? Nattokinase is an enzyme. Its job is to support circulation. If you take it with food, especially a protein-heavy meal, the enzyme might get "used up" helping to digest that food in your stomach, rather than being absorbed into your bloodstream to do its intended job.
To ensure maximum absorption, most experts suggest taking Nattokinase at least 30 minutes before a meal or at least 2 hours after a meal.
Many people find these two schedules work best:
-
First thing in the morning: Take it with your morning glass of water at least 30 minutes before you eat breakfast.
-
Right before bed: This is a popular option. You're well past your evening meal, so your stomach is empty, allowing for optimal absorption as you sleep.
How Much Nattokinase Should You Take?
The "dosage" for Nattokinase isn't measured in milligrams (mg) but in Fibrinolytic Units (FU). This measures the enzyme's activity level.
A common and effective daily dose for general cardiovascular support is 2000 FU. However, many people seeking more robust support opt for a higher-potency dose, such as 4000 FU per day.
This can be taken all at once or split into two doses (e.g., 2000 FU in the morning and 2000 FU at night).
A Clean Formula for a Clean Routine
When you're taking a supplement daily, especially on an empty stomach, you want to be sure it's as clean as possible. The last thing you want is to ingest unnecessary fillers, binders, or artificial additives.
Always check the "Other Ingredients" label for things like magnesium stearate, which are manufacturing agents, not health ingredients.
