insights Analysis
This larger package of Country Life's Papaya Digestive Support carries the same formulation challenges as its smaller counterpart. The minuscule 40mg dose of Glycine falls drastically short of the therapeutic levels recommended by nutritionists and observed in research for its purported roles in brain health, stress reduction, and sleep enhancement. Although the product name suggests the digestive blend contains papain and bromelain, crucial for protein digestion, the absence of specific enzyme activity units within the 98mg proprietary blend means its effectiveness for digestive support remains largely speculative and probably limited. The slightly lower price per serving in this larger format does not compensate for the fundamental issue of inadequate active ingredient dosages for the stated goals.
- Larger quantity offers a lower price per serving compared to the smaller pack
- Pleasant pineapple papaya flavor (implied by name)
- Convenient chewable tablet form
- Extremely low dosage of Glycine for claimed benefits (brain, stress, sleep)
- Proprietary digestive blend with unknown enzyme potency and likely insufficient quantity
- Unlikely to provide significant impact for most stated goals due to inadequate active ingredient levels
- Users should manage expectations regarding the efficacy of this product for its stated goals, especially those related to Glycine, due to the extremely low dosages.
- Serious digestive concerns may require more potent and transparently formulated enzyme supplements.

Glycine 10
The product's 40mg Glycine content is severely underdosed, making it ineffective for experiencing the beneficial effects typically associated with Glycine supplementation.
Goals
Even with the assumption of papain and bromelain, a 98mg proprietary blend is generally considered too low and lacks the specificity (e.g., FCC units) to provide robust digestive support for most individuals, offering only mild potential benefits.
The 40mg of Glycine is an insignificant amount for brain health, falling far below the gram-level doses typically studied and recommended by health professionals for cognitive benefits.
With only 40mg of Glycine, this product cannot deliver meaningful stress relief, as clinically effective doses are substantially higher, often in the thousands of milligrams.
