NOW Foods Papaya Enzyme 180 Lozenges

NOW® Papaya Enzyme lozenges are a refreshing, chewable way to support digestion after meals.* Made with whole, unripe, spray-dried papaya powder (a natural source of the protein-digesting enzyme papain), they support protein digestion when taken after eating.* The body's capacity to make enzymes tends to decline with age, so a papaya lozenge is a pleasant everyday digestive aid — and with added mint and chlorophyll, it doubles as a breath freshener.* Chew or dissolve after meals for gentle, tasty digestive support.*

About the key ingredients

Frequently asked questions

What do digestive enzymes do?
Digestive enzymes help break down the food you eat so nutrients are more available to the body.* This formula uses papaya (a natural source of the protein-digesting enzyme papain) to support protein digestion. The body's own enzyme production can decline with age, which is why supplemental enzymes are popular for comfortable digestion.*

When should I take them?
Take them after meals, chewed or dissolved in the mouth, so the enzymes are present as food is digested. Follow the serving size on the label.*

Are they vegetarian?
Many NOW® enzyme formulas use microbial (fungal) enzymes suitable for vegetarians, while some (like pancreatin or ox bile) are animal-sourced — check the label. The plant/microbial formulas are vegan-friendly.*

Cautions & interactions

Digestive enzymes are generally well tolerated. Talk to your doctor before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition. If a formula contains bromelain or papain, avoid it with a pineapple or papaya allergy, and check with your doctor if you take blood thinners. Keep out of reach of children.
