insights Analysis
As a larger package of the popular NOW Chewable Papaya Enzymes, this product (ID 168294) delivers the same effective blend of papain, bromelain, amylase, lipase, and protease in a convenient chewable form. Its primary strength lies in its affordability and comprehensive enzyme profile which effectively assists in the digestion of various food components. Given its low price per serving ($0.03) and overwhelmingly positive reviews, it represents an outstanding value in the digestive enzyme market. However, similar to its smaller counterpart, while the enzymes support general digestion, their dosages are not optimized for significant systemic anti-inflammatory effects or targeted joint health benefits.
- Outstanding price per serving for a large quantity
- Comprehensive digestive enzyme blend
- Very high customer satisfaction and review count
- Convenient and palatable chewable format
- Enzyme concentrations are primarily for digestive aid and not high enough for significant systemic anti-inflammatory or joint support
- Contains carbohydrates and calories which may be relevant for specific dietary considerations

Categories
Papain 87
Delivers a substantial 100mg of Papain per serving, which is effective for protein digestion and provides a good contribution to the overall enzyme activity, especially given the product's excellent value.
Bromelain 72
Contains 20mg of Bromelain, which effectively complements the other enzymes for protein breakdown and offers mild anti-inflammatory properties, providing good support within a comprehensive digestive formula.
Goals
This product features a well-rounded enzyme profile including papain, bromelain, alpha-amylase, lipase, and protease, making it highly effective at supporting the digestion of a broad range of macronutrients. The chewable form facilitates immediate enzymatic action in the mouth.
While the Papain (100mg) and Bromelain (20mg) in the formula contribute to general health, their quantities are more aligned with digestive support rather than providing substantial therapeutic benefits for joint health, where higher systemic doses are typically recommended.
The presence of Papain and Bromelain offers some degree of anti-inflammatory benefit, particularly locally in the digestive tract. However, for a pronounced systemic anti-inflammatory effect, higher dosages of these proteolytic enzymes are generally required.

A very cost-effective choice for those specifically looking for a Papain-focused supplement. While not a broad-spectrum enzyme, its high Papain concentration for its price makes it a cheaper alternative if Papain is the primary interest.
