Benefits:

How It Works:
Papaya is the only known food to contain papain, a powerful enzyme that helps break down protein. For centuries people have tenderized meats by wrapping them in the leaves of the papaya tree prior to cooking. Within the body, papain is also able to act on other compounds such as carbohydrates and fats, making it a good, all-around supplement for improved digestion. Peppermint oil has been used from time immemorial as a culinary herb to enhance the digestive functions of the body. Mint is known to freshen the breath, and it helps soothe the motility of the digestive system. Together, papaya and peppermint make an ideal combination.
Ingredients:
Sorbitol, papaya fruit concentrate, fructose, peppermint leaf and peppermint aerial parts oil.
Recommended Use:
Chew 2 tablets with a meal three times daily, or use between meals as a breath freshener.
Papaya fruit is actually considered a large, tropical berry. It is native to Mexico but now grows in the Caribbean and Florida. Records show that in pre-Columbian Mexico, people wrapped meat in papaya leaves before cooking to increase tenderness.
Peppermint has been popular for millennia. Greek mythology tells the story of Pluto transforming the nymph Mentha into a sweet-smelling herb. Peppermint oil was used anciently by the Japanese and Chinese, and was also discovered in the pyramids of Egypt.
