Antiviral Effects of Nattokinase
Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 and Bovine Herpes Virus-1 Demonstrated in Vitro
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Recently there has been intense focus on “natto” derived from the fermentation of steamed soy by bacillus subtilis. Nattokinase is a proteolytic enzyme used as an oral supplement by the Japanese for the chronic treatment of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease. Now a recent study in the COVID-19 era by the Japanese demonstrated preventive antiviral effects against SARS-CoV-2 mutant strains and bovine herpes virus type 1. The mechanism appears to be proteolytic cleavage of viral proteins.
Oba and colleagues performed a series of experiments with various concentrations of nattokinase in preclinical models. They found: 1) nattokinase effectively stopped infection of human cells in culture from SARS-CoV-2 and bovine herpes virus type 1, 2) the proteolytic effect of nattokinase was heat sensitive.
While many around the world feel they cannot wait for large-scale randomized trials of nattokinase in the treatment of vaccine injury syndromes, they may not realize there may be an additional salutary effect—prevention of subsequent COVID-19 infections.
While it is too early to make therapeutic claims, there is no doubt that data on nattokinase is the most promising we have seen among all solutions reviewed to end the final stages of the pandemic crisis—long COVID, vaccine injury syndromes, and recurrent Omicron infections.

My husband and I have been believers in nattokinase for many years for its anti-clotting effects on blood fibrin. He has been taking it for about 25 years, first trying to eat the disgusting strands of fermented soybeans, then happily switching to nattokinase pills. I began taking it when the coagulating effects of the supposed “vaccines” became known. We are a pair of octagenarians who are very thankful for all your work exposing the effects of the shots and we wish we had not received the first two. We also are firm believers in using ivermectin and quercetin. Thank you for all you do! ❤️
But I have a big concern because almost all soy is genetically modified and covered in pesticides including Round Up (glyphosate). Wondering if lumbrokinase is as effective? Also, I met you in Westport Ct and it was such an honor! You are a beautiful human. Thank you for working so hard to save humanity.
