American Health - Original Papaya Enzyme Chewable 250 Tablets 55628

These were first recommended to my wife when she was pregnant with kid #1 and having constant heartburn and nausea. They simply WORK for her and for me also.We used the large tablets in a roll until they recently stopped carrying them in the "natural" section of our grocery store. These oval shaped tablets are much smaller and easier to chew. About 3 does the job if I binged on mexican food too close to bedtime.Another note about these... The doctor prescibed me proton-pump inhibitors for a while for a specific condition. I had to stop taking them, because I always felt so bloated after eating anything, because I had no acid to digest the food. These papaya tabs do not reduce acid, they promote digestion, so it's a different mechanism for addressing the issue.

Recently discovered papaya enzymes as being great for digestion and nutrient absorption. I have crohns disease and had a small bowel resection so my body can't hardly digest anything correctly and always has some sort of issue.After surgery, I had big issues with spaghetti and tacos...now I have tried that again with taking these after and it has helped me SIGNIFICANTLY. It is not perfect for me for obvious issues but if I can eat these two foods with mild issues now, I'm happy. I also noticed it has improved my digestion on some of the things my body can't handle (like vegetables)..for me its very obvious when something doesn't digest because it goes in and out in the same form. Sorry for the tmi. :)This will for SURE be a staple in my house now. Also the taste is really good. Comparable to tums smoothies.

Tastes good and works great!

These helped me get through a prolonged bout of excessive acid and gastritis. Less acid seems to be produced after meals when taking them, which presumably makes it easier for the stomach lining to heal. Unlike some similar products, they taste like papaya rather than mint, which is a plus in my book. I give them four stars rather than five because they only contain enzymes to support the digestion of protein and starch, not fat or cellulose etc., and in a relatively low dose at that. But they're inexpensive and they do help, so I recommend them for anyone who wants to give this kind of supplement a try.

I like this supplement because you can take it after you eat a meal. A lot of them have to be taken before the first bite, so this gives you a little leeway. I’ve found it really helps to breakdown food in my system and it has a pleasant taste.
