Papaya enzyme



Recommended Posts

So I have heard this mentioned a few times and I have wondered how to use it. Is this a powder, capsule or a tablet?

Do you chew it? DO you take it before food or if you get stuck?

Anyone who has used it or knows of it please chime in.

I appreciate your thoughts.

It is an extract of raw papaya that helps in digestion of meats. I have heard it mentioned a few times at these forums but I am unsure on how to use it.

I believe it is a chewable tablet. I have not personally used it but I have heard a lot of people say it works. Try a health food store.

I use it all the time. After a stuck episode. It either makes you throw up or pushes the food down. I get the chewable tablet. You take 3 or 4. Sometimes if I may have taken one bite too many. I chew a few and feels so much better. It helps in digesting your food. Something to keep on hand.

The Drs told me to get it to help with any gas after surgery...It is a digestive aid...You get it at the Vitamin Shoppe...Health food store (GNC)...Mine is chewable but there was lots of choices...I got chewable cherry ones...Glad to hear they also work if you get food suck...(Which I have not had yet)....

Good Luck

Good to know, I get banded the 28th of May, and I have heard of the dreaded gas pains.

So you guys convinced me to order the papaya enzyme, thanks.

I picked it up at GNC online. Buy one get one free + 20% off + free 1 year gold membership...

I sound like a GNC salesman :-)

Seriously, I picked up the 180 chewable tablet bottle as that was the highest potency (400000 IU vs 60000 IU) so less tablets to chew.

Lets see if it is good, the reviews were very good.

So got stuck on some lamb this Memorial day weekend. Had one tablet of the Papaya enzyme and 30 minutes later I PB'd the lamb.

It works! It works!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
