not as far as I know, it's a restricted product - considered a drug and would be confiscated at customs...

I bet you could buy Natto at an Asian grocery. It's really high in K2.

thanks, i'm kind of scare of natto- just because it's terrible tasting, i've read from many sources I can't do bad tastes or smells so I really doubt I'd be able to handle natto. (Whey protein taste makes me gag....)

Nattokinase is made from natto, so it should work.

For anyone in Canada still trying to buy Vit. K2, it has not been banned. I went to my local health food store, the shelf was empty, so I asked if it was still available. I was told that it had not been banned, so I ordered some, and it has now arrived.
I live in Ontario, but I assume the same rules apply all across Canada.
