Bacillus subtilisfermented soybeans (natto) contain high vitamin K2 levels, mostly as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), and must be avoided by warfarin-dependent patients. This is the first report which demonstrates the characteristics and clinical relevance of a low MK-7 natto for such patients. We generated a novel, mutantB. subtilisstrain TTCC2051 with short-term fermentation and reduced MK-7 production, yielding 19–24% of the normal MK-7 content. After functional assessments and a preclinical trial, 10 warfarin-dependent patients underwent a clinical trial with a 7-day ingestion test of the low MK-7 natto. Functional assessments were satisfactory, and the preclinical trial showed no increases in plasma MK-7 levels after 7 days of ingestion. In the clinical trial, 20 g/day of the low MK-7 natto significantly increased plasma MK-7 levels while 10 g/day did not. However, neither dose of low MK-7 natto changed international normalized ratio of prothrombin time (PT-INR) values in either group. The low MK-7 natto neither changed PT-INR values nor precipitated adverse events if ingested with a once-daily maximum of 20 g (46μg of MK-7). Thus, this novel food product has potential for consumption by warfarin-dependent patients.
