Papain is a protein-digesting enzyme extracted from the raw fruit of the papaya plant. It is an effective supplement ingredient due to its pain and inflammation reducing properties.

Furthermore, papain is also popular for aiding digestion and improving symptoms of infections. To maximize its effects, some manufacturers mix it with other enzymes, such as bromelain.

Benefits

1. Aids Digestion

Papain is popular for aiding digestion by easing digestive symptoms, such as bloating and constipation.

According to a study conducted in 2013 on people with chronic gastrointestinal dysfunction, a papaya preparation called Caricol significantly reduced symptoms of bloating and constipation.

2. May Ease Sore Throat

Papain may help ease sore throat symptoms, including pain, redness, and swelling.

According to this research conducted on 100 people with sore throats, tonsillitis, or pharyngitis, throat lozenges containing 5 milligrams of lysozyme, 200 international units (IU) of bacitracin, and 2 milligrams of papain helped patients significantly.

But since these 3 supplements combined brought the results, how much of an effect papain played in easing the symptoms remains unknown.

However, when these three supplements are combined, they’re confirmed to improve throat condition significantly.

3. May Reduce Pain and Inflammation

According to this article by Nutrition Review, proteolytic enzymes help reduce inflammation as well as, if not better than many anti-inflammatory medicines.

Some physicians even prescribe papain due to its anti-inflammatory properties for speeding up wound recovery and slowing down swelling caused by a trauma or injury.

4. Is Shown to Reduce Symptoms of Skin Disorders

Multiple studies suggest that papain reduces symptoms of skin ulcers, wounds, and other skin disorders.

In 2012, this systematic review concluded that papain is highly effective in reducing symptoms of many types of wounds during different healing stages.

However, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered companies to stop manufacturing unapproved topical papain products because they’re directly linked to a fatal allergic reaction in some people.

5. Eases Muscle Soreness

According to a 2014 study, papain supplements help relieve pain caused by intense exercise.

During the study, some participants were given papain and others were given a placebo prior to running downhill for 30 minutes.

The papain group experienced less muscular pain and better muscle recovery than the placebo group.

Health Issues Associated With Papain Deficiency

Since papain is a protein-digesting enzyme, you should add it to your diet because proteolytic enzyme deficiency can lead to many health issues, including:

  • Slower muscle recovery — which prolongs the discomfort you’re suffering.
  • Poor stomach condition — which can lead to constipation and bloating.
  • Extremely slow wound recovery — which can prolong an injury.

Daily Recommended Intake

Since papain is used for improving symptoms of different health issues, the daily recommended intake varies according to the condition you’re trying to treat.

Based on current research:

  • For herpes zoster, an enzyme combination containing a small amount of papain should be used for 14 days.
  • For pharyngitis, lozenges containing 2 milligrams of papain, 5 milligrams of lysozyme, and 200 I.U. of bacitracin should be taken for 4 days.
  • For treating pain, swelling, and inflammation, 1,500 milligrams of papain should be ingested daily until symptoms disappear completely.

Also, please remember that too much of anything is bad for your health, and papain is not an exception to this rule. When taken in excess, it has several side effects including severe throat damage.

We just completed a very large Homeopathic tablet order that required involvement from 4 different facilities. There was nobody else in the country that was willing to help us that we called until we found superior. First shipment came last week and we couldn’t be happier or more impressed with the team. Thank you Justine, Phil, Stephenie you are the best!

★★★★★
I was choosing between two companies to create a formulation, and it came down to their level of service, expertise and confidence in their ability to execute. After speaking to Phil, their lead guy who knows all things supplements and is very easy to communicate with, was enthusiastic and helped to create a strategy to see my vision through. The last thing you want is a transactional relationship in this industry, so whether you’re a first timer or a veteran, these guys know how to add value no matter what level you’re at. Highly recommend Superior and their team to get the job done.
★★★★★
When they say “Superior” they aren’t kidding. Of over 100 companies on our NSF list that we called, and over 20 that we talked to, Superior was the ONLY one that consistently answered their phones, worked incredibly diligently to problem solve and R&D an incredibly complex patented proprietary product, and consistently was two or three steps ahead of us, the landscape and their competitors. Looking forward to a long relationship Superior!
★★★★★
We’ve been using Superior for over 5 years. We came to them because our last manufacturer stopped making the capsule size I needed. I looked everywhere for a replacement. Luckily, I found Superior. They quoted me a fair price and sourced a hard to find ingredient quickly. In the 5 years we’ve had them make our product, which is a custom formulation, they have never delivered late once. Quality control is very high and I get constant updates from Phil our point person while it is being manufactured. I cannot recommend them enough.
★★★★★
Our previous manufacturer was 3 months late on a production and barely spoke with us. We have run many runs with Superior and as with all manufacturing, there was an order that was a little late because of poor crop growth. Not only did they warn us ahead of time they showed us the list of suppliers they were calling day and night to try to find replacement material. Best company ever!
★★★★★
Jake, Justine and Phil are just a few of the team members we have had the pleasure of working with at Superior. As a marketing agency working in the supplement industry, we work with many suppliers on behalf of our clients. I especially appreciate Superior Supplements Manufacturing because of their dedication to customer relationships. They go to extreme measures to ensure quality ingredients, fair pricing and great turn around times. The staff is also extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this team.
