Proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya with anti-inflammatory properties
We rank Papain by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Papain is a proteolytic enzyme, which is a type of protein that helps the body break down other proteins into smaller pieces. It is derived from papaya.
It is primarily used for its anti-inflammatory properties, which means it helps reduce swelling and redness in the body. Because it breaks down proteins, it is often used to support digestion.
The commercial production of papain involves extracting the enzyme from the papaya plant and processing it into a stable powder. This powder is then measured and placed into capsules or tablets for sale as a supplement.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the process of extracting and refining the enzyme from the fruit is more involved than producing simple minerals, but there is enough global supply to keep it from being a luxury item.
