The enzyme was found to be able to degrade amyloid fibrils that contribute to the formation of amyloid plaque that characterize Alzheimer’s disease, according to results of a lab study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. “The discovery of an enzyme which can be safely taken orally and can degrade amyloid fibrils could be very useful in the therapy of amyloid-related diseases,” wrote the researchers from Taiwan’s Institute of Biological Chemistry, Academia Sinica, and the National Taiwan University.
The build-up of plaque from beta-amyloid deposits is associated with an increase in brain cell damage and death from oxidative stress. This is related to a loss of cognitive function and an increased risk of Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia and currently affects over 13 million people worldwide.
The direct and indirect cost of Alzheimer care is over $100 bn (€ 81 bn) in the US, while direct costs in the UK are estimated at £15 bn (€ 22 bn). It SupplySide West in Las Vegas last year, Vincent Hackel, CEO and president of Japan Bio Science Laboratory-USA, told NutraIngredients that growth in nattokinase supplements was doubling every year. “Nattokinase is right on the cusp of taking off,” he said. JBSL-USA’s nattokinase was not used in the Taiwanese study.
The majority of science has focused on reducing blood pressure and the prevention of blood clots. According to Hackel, nattokinase supplements have been available in the US for about five years and for two years in Europe. “Although much research has been carried out on nattokinase, there has been no interest in whether it can degrade amyloids, which are also highly insoluble and protease-resistant,” explained the researcher. ... http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com

Nattokinase, an enzyme extracted from fermented soy, may prevent the build up of certain plaques in the brain linked to Alzheimer’s, suggests new research from Taiwan.
