Natto: The Japanese Superfood You Never Heard Of

A friend of mine just had surgery and goes to physical therapy every week. Her therapist remarked about how great her scar looked. My friend said, “Maybe my daily nattokinase has something to do with it,” to which the therapist replied, “What’s nattokinase?”

In my experience, very few people have heard of nattokinase, an enzyme that comes from the food natto, made from boiled soybeans that have been fermented with a specific bacteria, Bacillus subtilis var. natto. Natto is considered a new and exciting superfood in the US but in Japan, natto has been a foundational part of their diet for centuries, and many varieties of natto are sold in Japanese grocery stores. In Japan, natto is part of breakfast, alongside pickled vegetables, miso soup and rice.
 
The enzyme nattokinase provides powerful support normal blood flow, circulation, and blood pressure levels. In fact, people take nattokinase for cardiovascular diseases including high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, and stroke. This might protect against heart disease and conditions caused by blood clots, like stroke and heart attack. Nattokinase may thin the blood and help break up blood clots.

Maintaining healthy blood circulation and balanced coagulation is a key part of supporting cardiovascular health. The body produces enzymes – one is plasmin – that are fibrinolytic, meaning they break up extra proteins in the blood to ensure proper blood flow. Like many processes in the body, the production of these enzymes decreases with age, which can result in increased fibrin levels. Studies show that nattokinase triggers the release of substances that produce plasmin and other fibrinolytic enzymes to regulate fibrin formation.
 
It is estimated that one in four Americans has high blood pressure. Nattokinase inhibits a key enzyme which causes arterial dilation, and the dilated arteries help maintain healthy blood pressure levels. Nattokinase also can generate tissue plasminogen activators helping to promote blood flow. My private label product is designed to have lasting effects for more than 12 hours and is safe for long-term use.
 
Nattokinase has also been shown to be degrade the spike protein associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 has a spike protein (S protein), and cleavage of the S protein is essential for viral entry into the cell. Studies like this one show that nattokinase degraded the S protein, thus showing its potential to inhibit the spike protein.

08-09-21 Deep Dive PREMIUM – with Jamie Walden

Meet Jamie Walden, of Omega Dynamics. Imbued with matchless passion for all things “adventurous” and “fun”, Jamie’s teen years were filled with significant tumult (injuries, arrests, and choices of near life-long consequence). However, amid the rebellion and ruckus, Jamie continually endeavored to one day earn the title, “U.S. Marine”. After being nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Defense, Intelligence, and Diplomacy in Washington, D.C., where he subsequently secured a nomination to the US Naval Academy, Jamie made the determination to simply enlist in the Marine Corps Infantry and achieve his childhood dream.

After leaving the Marines Corps, Jamie obtained a double major B.S. in Law Enforcement and History. Pursuing a career in Federal Law Enforcement, Jamie was selected as an Intern for the United States Marshals Service, and subsequent recruitment to a “Three Letter” agency. It was then, when Jamie received “the call”, that the Lord began testing and affirming the genuineness of his faith.

After again returning to Iraq in 2014 to serve the Christians suffering under the savage campaign of ISIS, Jamie and his wife Virginia were compelled to surrender their paradigm and follow the Lord into full-time ministry.

“The Mission of Omega Dynamics is this: to teach, train and equip “Those with ears to hear” to stand anew in their rightful place as more than conquerors in a kingdom that cannot be shaken…this generation is literally, eternally dying for us to”
