Sticky Stuff

When I first used papaya enzyme it was from crushed seeds I powdered and added to my coffee grounds. Green papaya powder contains the enzyme and increases the amount of good papaya to my espresso. It's a miracle worker! I'm just waiting to try it out in my marinades for B.B.Q. season.

Great for my dog also

I have a dog with a sensitive stomach and this enzyme on her food is perfect. Her digestion is much better.

Green Papaya Powder (Unripe)

Papya powder

Fast shipping. Good quality

Really helps my gut!

I’ve only had the unripe green papaya for a week or two, but from the first time I used it, it seemed to calm down the spasming and pain in my stomach. To have my stomach and digestive system calm and quiet has been so wonderful for me. A painful gut can can affect one’s entire day! I hope this formulation works for you as well.
