Before You Buy Nattokinase
The One Thing To Look For On A Nattokinase Label
If heart disease runs in your family and you're comparing bottles, here's the number that actually matters — and it's usually the one buried in the fine print.
How To Read A Nattokinase Label (So You Don't Get Fooled)
Most of the confusion in this category isn't an accident. Here's what to check before you buy.
→
Milligrams aren't the number that matters
Milligrams tell you how much powder is packed into the capsule. FU — Fibrinolytic Units — tell you how active the enzyme actually is. A big milligram number next to a small (or missing) FU number is the first red flag.
→
Check whether that FU is per serving — or per gram
Some labels list FU per gram instead of per serving, which can make a small dose look bigger than it is. Others need two or more capsules to reach the number printed on the front of the bottle — so the dose you think you're taking isn't the dose you're actually getting.

Check for a verified lab report
Most labels don't show any independent testing at all — no batch number, no test date, nothing you can actually verify. If a brand won't show you a report, it's worth asking why.
Once you know what to look for, the real question is simple: how much FU is actually enough?
The Number That Actually Moved The Needle
Most nattokinase supplements on the market are dosed around 2,000 to 4,000 FU per serving.
The largest published study on nattokinase followed over 1,000 adults for 12 months. The group taking 10,800 FU a day saw measurable changes in arterial plaque reduction. The group taking 3,600 FU a day saw no measurable changes.

That's why Valera is dosed at 10,800 FU.
Not 2,000. Not 4,000. Not even the 3,600 FU dose that showed nothing. The full amount used in the study — in every serving.
It's Not Just The Study
★★★★★
"I've been able to replace 3 pills with just this one, thanks to the bromelain, turmeric, and other ingredients in Valera. Same benefit, less money spent, less shelf space covered."
Leonard T. · Verified Buyer★★★★
"I appreciate that you don't promise a miracle cure. You talk about the actual science. That honesty is why I chose you over the big narrative hype — it's the only natural option that's actually moved my markers."
Thomas C. · Verified Buyer★★★★★
"Garlic and tea didn't do a thing for my 160/95 readings. Adding 10,800 FU of Valera was the missing piece — my blood pressure is now consistently 132/82."
Susan H. · Verified Buyer★★★★★
"With my family history I worry about buildup. My last scan showed 70% blockage, and after 8 months on the 10,800 FU dose, it hasn't increased."

CoQ10, Bromelain, Turmeric, And More
We added CoQ10, bromelain, turmeric, ginger, olive leaf, and white willow bark for even better cardiovascular support — a complete protocol, not just one enzyme.
Every softgel is enteric-coated, so it actually survives stomach acid and absorbs in the right place instead of breaking down before it ever gets there.
