Enzymes FAQ's

What are Papaya Enzymes good for? Is this product vegetarian?

NOW® Papaya Enzymes combine natural papaya enzymes with Mint and Chlorophyll. This product is good as a digestive aid, and may also help prevent gas. Since poor digestion can contribute to bad breath, Papaya Enzymes and Chlorophyll may help by supporting healthy digestion. This is a vegetarian product. Stearic Acid and Magnesium Stearate are edible natural waxes derived from palm oil, used in small amounts for processing purposes.
 
After taking NOW® Super Enzymes, I began to experience chronic stomach pains. Is this normal? Should I stop taking this product? Does this product contain salicylates?
 
NOW® Super Enzymes contain a broad array of digestive enzymes designed to assist your body in the digestion of many different types of food. A few people who use NOW Super Enzymes experience a reaction to the protein digesting enzymes in this formula (Pancreatin, Bromelain & Papain) or to the acid (Betaine HCl). This may occur if the person had an irritated stomach lining prior to using Super Enzymes, and these particular enzymes may worsen this existing condition. Or someone with elevated stomach acid may not need a formula containing extra acid.
 
NOW also produces a vegetarian source plant enzyme blend designed to aid digestion: Optimum Digestive System™.
 
Discontinue use of these enzymes if you experience any sort of stomach irritation during supplementation. This product does not contain any salicylates.
