Why do my legs feel heavy and my feet cold?+
Often it is a flow problem. As we get older, more fibrin lingers in the blood, making it thicker and stickier. Your heart has to push harder, and the vessels farthest away, in your legs, hands and feet, get the least. Nattokinase supports your body’s own breakdown of fibrin, so blood keeps moving smoothly.
What is nattokinase?+
An enzyme made during the fermentation of natto, the sticky soybean dish Japan has eaten for over 1,000 years. It was discovered in 1980 by a Japanese researcher and has since been studied for supporting healthy blood flow and heart health.
Why 10,000 FU? Isn’t 2,000 FU enough?+
FU (fibrinolytic units) measures how active the enzyme is. Most brands use 2,000 FU. The largest nattokinase study, with over 1,000 adults, found the strongest results at around 10,000 FU a day, and much smaller effects at lower amounts. That is why each serving gives you 10,000 FU.
Can I take this with blood thinners or aspirin?+
No. Nattokinase supports healthy blood flow, and so do blood thinners like warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto and Plavix, and daily aspirin. Together they can add up. If you take any of these, or have a bleeding disorder, do not take this product without talking to your doctor first. Never stop a prescribed medication on your own.
Can I take it with a statin?+
Ask your doctor first. Nattokinase is not a replacement for a statin and works in a different way: a statin lowers how much cholesterol your liver makes, while nattokinase supports your body’s own breakdown of fibrin. Tell your doctor everything you take, and never stop or change a prescription on your own.
Is this a replacement for my medication?+
No. Nattokinase 10,000 FU is a dietary supplement, not a medication. If you take medication for your heart, blood pressure or cholesterol, keep taking it as prescribed and check with your doctor before adding any supplement.
What does it actually do?+
It supports your circulation in three ways: nattokinase supports smooth, healthy blood flow; CoQ10, aged garlic and grape seed support your heart and flexible arteries; turmeric, bromelain, pine bark and dandelion support a healthy inflammatory response and healthy fluid balance.
Can it help in the bedroom?+
Healthy sexual function starts with healthy blood flow, for men and for women. Nattokinase+ supports smooth, free-flowing blood and flexible blood vessels, so blood gets where it needs to go, including below the belt.†
What’s inside?+
Per 2-capsule serving: nattokinase (from natto extract) 500 mg (10,000 FU); a 500 mg blend of CoQ10 (as ubiquinone), turmeric root extract, dandelion root extract, aged garlic extract and grape seed extract; bromelain (2,400 GDU/g) 10 mg; maritime pine bark extract 5 mg. Other ingredients: rice flour, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, vegetable cellulose. 60 capsules, 30 servings.
Why not just eat natto?+
You can, and the Japanese have for over 1,000 years. But you would need several packs a day to get close to 10,000 FU, and most people can’t get past the smell and the sticky, stringy texture. Two capsules give you the studied amount without it.
Does it contain soy?+
Yes. Nattokinase comes from fermented soybeans, so it contains soy. It is free of gluten, dairy and tree nuts, and the capsules are vegetarian.
Why is CoQ10 in it?+
Your heart is the hardest-working muscle in your body, and CoQ10 helps its cells make energy. Your body makes less of it as you age, and some cholesterol medications lower it further.
When will I feel a difference?+
Most people notice it within two to four weeks: lighter legs in the evening, warmer hands and feet and steadier energy. Support builds with daily use, and you keep it by taking it every day.
How do I take it?+
Take two capsules a day, preferably with a meal and a glass of water.
Should I stop before surgery?+
Yes. Stop taking nattokinase at least 2 weeks before any surgery or dental procedure, and tell your doctor or dentist you have been taking it.
Is this safe during pregnancy?+
No. It is not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or by anyone under 18. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor first.
What side effects should I expect?+
Most people feel nothing but lighter. Easy bruising or bleeding gums can be a sign it is not right for you; if you notice that, stop and talk to your doctor. The 90 days cover you either way.
How fast do you ship?+
Orders ship within 24 hours on business days from the USA. US delivery takes 2 to 7 business days, tracking included.
How long does one bottle last?+
One bottle has 60 capsules, so 30 days at two capsules a day. Most people take it every day and keep two or three bottles on hand, or subscribe so they never run out.
What if it doesn’t work for me?+
Take it daily for at least 30 days. If you don’t feel the difference, email info@savayabotanicals.com within 90 days for a full refund. No forms, no questions. We are not asking you to believe us. We are asking you to try it.
