PAPAIN

Overview:

Papain is a natural enzyme found in papaya that aids in the body’s protein digestive process, making it repulsive to the body,providing a smooth easy digestive system. It is also applied in some cases from medicinal and cosmetic point of view to clean wounds and to promote evolution of the healing process, due to its kind and non-aggressive action. Because it is a fruit-derived product, it’s mostly safe when used in moderation.

Classification: Proteolytic enzyme

Uses:

Papain is often used to support healthy digestion by helping break down proteins from food into smaller, easier-to-digest parts. It may also be used in some wound-healing preparations, to reduce swelling, or to ease minor digestive discomfort like bloating or indigestion.

How it works:

Papain is effective because it functions as an aid to your digestion. It digests food proteins into small easily digestible particles, and facilitates the absorption of nutrients by your body. On a wound, it tenderly extracts dead tissue and makes the area cleaner and stitches the body to heal quicker and more efficiently.

Dosage:

As prescribed by your doctor.

Side Effects:

• Mild stomach upset
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Allergic reactions (such as skin rash, itching, or swelling)

Precautions:

When using papain, it’s best to stick to the recommended dose and not overdo it. If you’re allergic to papaya or similar enzymes, you should avoid it, as it can cause reactions like rash, swelling, or trouble breathing. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should check with their doctor before using it. Following these precautions helps you get the benefits safely while avoiding any unwanted side effects.
