Description
Bromelain, curcumin, nattokinase and astaxanthin in one formula on the natural base of natto, the traditional Japanese fermented soy product. Primarily for adults. Enteric-coated capsules protect the ingredients from stomach acid.
Ingredients
Nattokinase (2000 FU) is a proteolytic enzyme from fermented soy, formed through the action of Bacillus subtilis Natto bacteria. Bromelain (500 mg, 600 GDU/g) is a proteolytic enzyme from pineapple, traditionally added to tropical cuisine as a culinary additive.
Curcumin (300 mg, standardised to 95%) is a polyphenol from turmeric rhizome. It has low bioavailability, which is why the formula contains piperine (4 mg), an alkaloid from black pepper that influences the bioavailability of other ingredients.
Astaxanthin (16 mg of 5% extract, equivalent to 0.8 mg pure astaxanthin) is a carotenoid from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis.
In addition, the vitamin K2 MK-7 in this product comes exclusively from the soy fermentation process, not from chemical synthesis. This formula thus combines two proteolytic enzymes (nattokinase and bromelain), curcumin with piperine, and astaxanthin on a natto base.
Who is this product for?
For adults:
- who value the combination of proteolytic enzymes with antioxidants in daily supplementation
- looking for nattokinase 2000 FU with bromelain, curcumin and astaxanthin in one enteric-coated capsule
- following a plant-based diet: the formula is 100% vegan
Contraindications and warnings
The formula contains nattokinase and natural vitamin K2. The product should not be consumed by people taking anticoagulant medication from the vitamin K antagonist group (e.g. warfarin and acenocoumarol).
The product is not suitable for people with blood coagulation disorders.
People taking any prescription medication on a regular basis should consult their doctor before starting supplementation. Due to the presence of piperine, the product may modify the absorption and metabolism of other concurrently taken medication through its interaction with hepatic enzymes (cytochrome P450) and P-glycoprotein.
In case of liver, bile duct or gallstone disorders, use of the product is not indicated.
People taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication (warfarin, acenocoumarol, heparin, clopidogrel, aspirin, NSAIDs) should consult their doctor before use. Bromelain may slow blood clotting and enhance the effect of these medications.
The product also contains soy. Do not use in case of allergy to soy or soy products.
Use is also not recommended for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

Quality and origin
The base of the product is fresh organic natto. The producer makes it in Poland from organic soy (non-GMO) using the traditional fermentation method with Bacillus subtilis Natto bacteria.
The fresh natto then undergoes a patented low-temperature convection drying process (Polish Patent Office (UPRP) No. PL 237235, application P.424543). This technology was developed by the producer in 2017–2018 in collaboration with the Lubuskie Centre for Innovation and Agrotechnical Implementation (LOIiWA), with the aim of preserving the properties characteristic of fresh natto.
Only after drying and milling does the producer add the functional ingredients (curcumin, bromelain, astaxanthin, piperine) to the dried natto. This is why the finished product does not hold an organic certificate, even though its base is organic natto.
- Natto base: Certificate PL-EKO-07-16909
- Patented drying technology
- Vegan: plant-cellulose capsule
- Gluten-free
- Non-GMO soy
Producer: Ton Color Marek Kołodziejski, Zielona Góra, Poland, the only producer of organic natto in Poland.
