There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of lipase.
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when recombinant human bile salt-stimulated lipase (rhBSSL) is used orally by premature infants.
Adding rhBSSL to infant formula or pasteurized breast milk increases the risk for serious gastrointestinal adverse effects in premature infants (101940).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. Nattokinase is a natural component of the soy food natto. It has been routinely consumed in Japan for hundreds of years (12072,12073).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally for medicinal purposes. Nattokinase has been used with apparent safety in doses of 2000 fibrinolytic units daily for up to 3 years or 10,800 fibrinolytic units daily for up to 12 months (64835,92312,106406,111252).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately. Various proteolytic enzymes have been safely used orally in clinical research (716,964,965,968,969,6252,6253,10622,11457,18281,18284) (91104,91105,91106,91111,96449). Side effects are typically mild to moderate and most often include gastrointestinal effects. See specific monographs for more detailed information related to the safety of individual proteolytic enzymes. ...when used topically and appropriately. Various proteolytic enzymes have been safely used topically in clinical research (67835,67843,67845,91113). Some proteolytic enzymes might cause allergic reactions when used topically. See specific monographs for more detailed information related to the safety of individual proteolytic enzymes.

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Natto LP. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...No adverse effects have been reported in adults.
However, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Gastrointestinal adverse effects, such as necrotizing enterocolitis, when recombinant human bile salt-stimulated lipase is used in premature infants.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, when added to the formula or pasteurized breast milk consumed by premature infants, recombinant human bile salt-stimulated lipase (rhBSSL) can cause gastrointestinal adverse effects, including abdominal distension, flatulence, constipation, colic, abdominal pain, gastroenteritis, vomiting, regurgitation, and rectal bleeding (101940). Premature infants receiving rhBSSL also had a slightly higher rate of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) when compared with those receiving placebo. After review by a panel of experts, it was determined that the rate of confirmed or suspected NEC in infants consuming rhBSSL was 3.3%, compared with 0.5% in those receiving placebo. Although this rate of NEC is lower than the historical rate of occurrence in premature infants (11%), a possible increased risk for NEC cannot be ruled out (101940).
General
...Orally, nattokinase is generally well tolerated.
Preliminary clinical trials suggest that the incidence of adverse effects with nattokinase is similar to that with placebo.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Anaphylaxis, hemorrhage.
Hematologic ...Orally, nattokinase has been associated with rare reports of hemorrhage (64834,109551). A case of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) has been reported in a 52-year-old female who took nattokinase while taking low-dose aspirin for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke. Seven days after initiating nattokinase 400 mg daily, the patient reported vertigo and unsteady gait and was diagnosed with an acute cerebellar hemorrhage. It was suggested that the thrombolytic and anticoagulant effects of nattokinase combined with aspirin's antiplatelet effects contributed to the ICH (64834). In another case, a 92-year-old female taking nattokinase daily (dose unknown) for atrial fibrillation presented to the hospital after a fall. The patient was on no other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. Abdominal CT showed a ruptured hepatic cystic lesion and intraperitoneal hemorrhage, which was difficult to stop despite several transfusions of red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma. The authors attributed the bleeding complications, in part, to nattokinase use (109551).
Immunologic ...Orally, nattokinase can cause hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, in individuals sensitive to natto (109552,111253). A case series examining hypersensitivity reactions to natto shows that the causative allergen can be either nattokinase or polygamma glutamic acid (PGA), both of which are found in the sticky substance surrounding natto soybeans. In patients with hypersensitivity to nattokinase, specifically, symptoms occurred within 2 hours after ingestion, were limited to the pharynx and larynx, and included swelling, tightness, and itching in the throat and lips and dyspnea. All patients with nattokinase sensitivity shared a history of atopic dermatitis (111253).
General
...Orally, proteolytic enzymes are generally well tolerated.
See specific monographs for detailed safety information related to individual proteolytic enzymes.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Gastrointestinal upset.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Topically: Allergic reactions.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, some patients taking proteolytic enzymes may have gastrointestinal complaints (101517).
Immunologic ...Proteolytic enzymes are commonly found in laundry detergents and pre-spotter products. Rarely, protease specific IgE positive tests possibly related to these products have occurred. Exposure may be airborne or topical (102705). In addition, in case reports, occupational exposure to the airborne proteolytic enzyme pepsin has resulted in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis or asthma (102706,102707).
