Before you eat
If you take warfarin or another anticoagulant, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before eating natto. Natto is high in vitamin K (600 µg per 100 g, Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan 2023). Vitamin K intake can change how warfarin works (MFDS label · MedlinePlus).

Natto is made from soybeans. If you have a soy allergy, don't eat it. Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan 2023 (opens in a new tab) U.S. FDA (opens in a new tab)
