Papaya

Papaya is the fruit of Carica papaya. It supplies vitamin C and fiber, and the unripe fruit is a source of the enzyme papain.

Can the preparations be substituted?

The digestive trial used a liquid papaya preparation, while the older-adult studies used fermented papaya at 9 g daily. Their results do not establish interchangeable doses across fruit, extracts, and fermented products. 1 2 3
