What is Papain:

Papain is a natural enzyme found in papaya fruit. It can be extracted from the “latex” of the fruit.

Papain helps break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, making it easier for the digestive system to process and absorb these nutrients.* This can be especially helpful for those who have difficulty digesting protein-rich foods or who experience indigestion, bloating, or gas.

Why Take a Papaya Enzyme Supplement?

Like other digestive enzymes, papain may help relieve symptoms related to slow or problematic digestion. This often includes bloating, constipation, and gas, especially when occurring after meals. These symptoms can be related to digestive conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD can also cause symptoms like acid reflux or heartburn.
