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 taste and support digestion when taken after meals. Our lozenges are made with whole unripe spray dried papaya powder and have 40 mg of papaya per lozenge. In addition protease lipase and cellulase have been included for a full spectrum of enzymatic activity.
