I am interested to know if you have any information on the safety of nattokinase (derived from the food, Japanese natto - fermented soybeans) for a breastfed baby? The dose is 100 mg and I've been taking it daily. In Japan, many people eat it daily for breakfast. It's very good for heart health and is thought to have a blood thinning effect along with lowering blood pressure.
