Papain (6'000 USP/mg)

Papain is a natural proteolytic enzyme which is found in the papaya fruit. This enzyme is extracted from the white fluid (latex) produced in the raw fruit. Papain is a natural protease, a protein-digestive enzyme. One of the most widely known benefits is that it helps to break protein into smaller fragments thus aiding the digestive process. 

As a potent digestive aid Papain can reduce constipation, gas and bloating, eliminating the discomfort that comes from indigestion. It is a great supplement for any individual experiencing Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In recent years the papaya enzyme has also shown promising results in reducing pain and inflammation. This extract acts as an antioxidant, as papain’s compounds could protect the body from cellular damage caused by free radicals.
