Description
Digestive enzymes are essential to the body's absorption and full use of food. The capacity of the body to make enzymes diminishes with age, and therefore the efficiency of digestion declines. NOW Papaya Enzyme Lozenges have a refreshing taste and support digestion when taken after meals. Our tablets are made from whole, unripe, spray-dried Papaya powder, and contain 40 mg of Papaya per Lozenge. Bromelain has been extracted from pineapples to add further digestive help for protein and fats. Both papaya and pineapple also provide a source of naturally-occurring antioxidants that can be protective in the digestive tract and body. In addition, Protease, Lipase, and Cellulase have been included for a full spectrum of enzymatic activity to help digest protein, starch, fat and fibre. This lozenge may also be useful as a breath freshener.
Suggested Use
Directions (Adults): Chew or dissolve 2 lozenges 3 times daily in the mouth. Take with food/meals. For prolonged use, consult a health care practitioner. This lozenge may also be useful as a breath freshener.
Cautions & Warnings: Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have diabetes or a gastrointestinal lesion/ulcer, if you are taking anticoagulant/blood thinners or an anti-inflammatory, if you are having surgery, or if you have allergy to latex or fruits (such as avocado, banana, chestnut, passion fruit, fig, melon, mango, kiwi, pineapple, peach, and tomato). Hypersensitivity/allergy has been known to occur; in which case, discontinue use. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea have been known to occur, in which case discontinue use (and consult a health care practitioner).
