This supplement provides a comprehensive blend of vegetarian enzymes active in a broad pH range to aid in food digestion. Protease breaks down starch, lipase breaks down fat, cellulase breaks down fiber, and lactase breaks down fiber and lactose (milk sugar).
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 tast 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. In addition, Protease, Lipase, and Cellulase have been included for a full spectrum of enzyme activity.
