Papaya (Carica papaya) has long been known to contain digestion-assisting compounds that are natural and safe. One of the most important elements in papaya is the enzyme called papain. Vitabase Papaya Chewable also includes the alpha amylase enzyme. While papain is known for its ability to help digest meat, amylase works to digest carbohydrates and starch like those in cereals, beans, rice and potatoes. As a dietary supplement, adults chew one (1) tablet with meals, or as directed by a health care professional. Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct light.
