Feature Summary
As a digestive aid, this handy and tasty chewable is excellent for people on the
go. Chewed following a meal, papaya enzyme helps the digestive system break
down food.
Enzymes are molecules that speed up chemical reactions they either help
build new molecules or they split the bonds that join molecules together to break
them into smaller units. This is extremely important in a vast number of bodily
functions and is absolutely essential for healthy, comfortable digestion of food.
Most enzyme supplements contain proteolytic enzymes, also called proteases,
that break down proteins. These enzymes include chymotrypsin and trypsin from
pancreatin (from hog pancreas), bromelain (pineapple enzyme), papain
(papaya enzyme), and fungal and bacterial proteases. Proteolytic enzymes are
often used to help improve digestion and relieve abdominal bloating and
discomfort, and excessive flatulence.
