Health Benefits of Natto
Natto is the best source of Vitamin K2
Natto is the most concentrated known food source of Vitamin K2, which functions in calcium regulation. There is substantial evidence that Vitamin K2 promotes bone growth and strength, decreases arterial calcification and improves cardiovascular outcomes.
Natto is the best and original source of nattokinase
During natto fermentation, live B. subtilis cultures produce an enzyme called Nattokinase in the sticky film surrounding the beans. Nattokinase inhibits blood clotting, and is commonly used medicinally to help prevent stroke, hypertension and progression of cardiovascular disease.
Natto contains Spore Probiotics
In natto, soybeans are fermented by Bacillus subtilis, a probiotic bacterial species not found in other probiotic foods.
B. subtilis is a spore probiotic species and an important natural resident of the healthy human gut. It has been shown to promote the growth of other beneficial microbes and to inhibit potentially harmful microbes.
B. subtilis activity makes natto an alkaline fermentation, unlike most other common ferments which generally increase acidity.
Finally, New York Natto is made fresh in our unique glass jars and is never frozen, so the live cultures are at their best - it tastes better and is better for you!

Note: FDA and USDA regulations currently define "Vitamin K" as exclusively phylloquinone (Vitamin K1.) Because a US RDI has not been established for Vitamin K2, this nutrient may not be listed inside the nutrition panel. One serving of our natto contains 450-500 mcg of Vitamin K2.
