What is BioNatto Plus?

BioNatto Plus is an enhanced formulation combining Nattokinase NSD-SD®, French maritime pine bark extract and grape seed extract.

Nattokinase NSK-SD® is a patented extract made of fermented soy bean (natto). It is clinically proven to improve blood circulation and reduce blood pressure.

French pine bark extract is one of the most powerful antioxidants in fighting free radicals. It is rich in several bioflavonoids that have both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Grape seed extract contains a high concentration polyphenol flavonoid complexes which are beneficial to cardiovascular health.

**Important Announcement**

It has come to our attention that there are several unknown online stores selling counterfeit BioNatto Plus. This is a public announcement to show how to identify a genuine product and what a counterfeit product looks like.

We are definitely alarmed by the presence of counterfeit product affecting our customers and we are taking immediate action against the counterfeiters.

We urge everyone to buy from reputable source and only from sellers / retail stores listed in our website.

Can I take Nattokinase NSK-SD^® if I’m already taking anticoagulants (e.g. blood thinners)?

Short answer: Yes.

Why? Natto is a rich source of Vitamin K2. However, Vitamin K2 is known to interact and reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulants like blood thinner and people taking such medication are usually advised by their doctors not to take large amount of Vitamin K. Vitamin K2 is removed from Nattokinase NSK-SD^® using a patented process to allow people who are taking anticoagulants like blood thinner to benefit from Nattokinase NSK-SD^®.

Always ensure that you are taking genuine Nattokinase NSK-SD^® as other natto products may not be suitable for you.

Grape Seed Extract : For The Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease

The use of grape seed extracts to prevent cardiovascular disease can be traced to the so-called “French Paradox.” Evidence of cholesterol’s role in atherosclerosis was suggested by epidemiological evidence showing that the residents of countries with higher dietary fat intake tended to have higher mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular diseases. However, the populations of a number of Mediterranean countries, France in particular, did not fit the pattern. “French paradox” is the belief that drinking wine protects people living in France from developing heart disease. Flavonoids found in red wine may help to protect the heart by lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.

How does grape seed extract work?

The cardio protective mechanism of action for grape seed extract is due to its antioxidants. LDL-cholesterol circulating in the blood can be oxidized by free radicals. Oxidized LDL then forms foam cells that deposit significant amounts of cholesterol in the lining of arteries.

Arteriosclerosis occurs when arteries grow thick and stiff and restrict blood flow to organs and tissues in the body. This gradual process, also known as hardening of the arteries, weakens arteries and can develop in various organs, most commonly the heart.

Grape seed extract contains a high concentration of Proanthocyanidins, a class of polyphenol flavonoid complexes which are known to possess the strongest antioxidant effect among polyphenols contained in red wine. Numerous studies have shown that taking grape seed extract is effective in lowering total cholesterol & LDL cholesterol and reducing markers of inflammation.

Cardiovascular Disease and Aging

Fibrin is a naturally produced protein that forms in the blood after injury. Bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins present in the blood also trigger an inflammatory condition resulting in excess cross-linked fibrin. When there is no danger of blood loss and injury has not occurred, this cross-linked fibrin will circulate through the blood and will stick to the walls of blood vessels resulting in the formation of blood clots.

Our body also produces fibrinolytic enzymes called plasmin which break down and dissolve fibrin. Unfortunately, the production of plasmin decline as we age.

Circulatory problems are much more prevalent in the elderly than in younger people. However arterial plaques are commonly found even in relatively young people, so it is a problem that shadows us throughout our lives. When blood thickens or clots increase, it can lead to minor health concerns like sore muscles to major health problems like cardiovascular disease, stroke, senile dementia.

For years the major culprit in clogged blood vessels has been assumed to be cholesterol. More recent research has shown that cholesterol buildup in arterial plaques is the body’s response to an injury to the arterial wall by blood clots. If blood clots could be prevented from forming in the blood, the whole issue of cholesterol levels could be avoided.

BioNatto is an all round health supplement for cardiovascular health.

Discovery of Nattokinase

Natto is a traditional Japanese food produced though a fermentation process and adding Bacillus natto, a beneficial bacterium to boiled soybean. Natto has been used in Japanese culture for over 1000 years for its popular taste and as a folk remedy for heart and vascular disease.

Over 200,000 tons of natto are eaten in Japan every year and Japan has the highest average longevity in the world.

Dr Hiroyuki Sumi discovered nattokinase in 1980 while working as a researcher at the University of Chicago. After testing over 173 natural foods, Dr Sumi discovered that the sticky “threads” in natto and named this powerful enzyme “Nattokinase“.
