TV Doctor Customers: Tim Ferriss says it is definitely an acquired taste, but natto is very beneficial and aids digestion when you eat about a tablespoon every morning. If you are digesting foods better, you body will have more energy to get you through your day. If the flavor of the natto is too pungent you can also purchase a supplement of Nattokinase, which comes in capsule form (this supplement is that form).
Natto is a traditional Japanese food from fermented soy beans that are shown to have various benefits such as a digestion aid and cardiovascular health.Natto is boiled soybeans that have been fermented with a bacterium called Bacillus natto. Nattokinase is an enzyme that is extracted from natto. Nattokinase decreases the ability of blood to clot. This "thins the blood" and might protect against conditions caused by blood clots such as stroke, heart attack, and others.
It is also used for pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, muscle spasms, infertility, cancer, and a vitamin-deficiency disease called beriberi.
Take 1 capsule three times daily on an empty stomach with 8 ounces of water.
