Papaya (Carica papaya) is a fruit grown in tropical parts of the world such as Hawaii, the South Pacific, South America and many other places. The Green Papaya fruit are harvested at the optimal moment before fully ripened. The Papaya is known to have an abundance of two very important enzymes that break down proteins: Papain and chymopapain. Papain transforms proteins into peptones, which are more easily absorbed into the bloodstream, thus facilitating protein assimilation and improving digestion. As the green papaya ripens, the papain content diminishes while the amount of fructose increases. So, to ensure the highest level of enzymatic activity Royal Tropics has been using only green papaya since 1982 and has developed a special low temperature drying method to naturally retain the most papain possible. Most other papaya digestive supplements are made from the ripe fruit, rich in fructose and low in papain. It becomes necessary to add papain as an ingredient rather than use it from the original source. Royal Tropics takes great care to ensure that the consumer gets the best green papaya product possible for proper digestion.
