There isn't enough information available to know if nattokinase is safe for most people. Taking two doses of a specific product containing nattokinase (Flite Tabs) seems to be safe. But it is not known if taking more than two doses is safe.Do not take nattokinase if:
- You are pregnant or breast-feeding.
- You are scheduled for surgery in the next two weeks. Nattokinase might increase the risk of bleeding.
