Our bodies create digestive enzymes as an essential way to absorb nutrients and make the full use of the food we eat. Unfortunately, this is to diminishing returns as our bodies age and produce less and less enzymes. NOW® Papaya Enzyme Lozenges have a refreshing taste and support digestion when taken after meals. The tablets are made from whole, unripe, spray-dried Papaya powder, and contain 40 mg of Papaya per Lozenge. In addition, Protease, Lipase and Cellulase have been included for a full spectrum of enzymatic activity.
