An acquaintance who suffers from GERD recommended papaya enzyme when he heard about my prenatal acid reflux. Within 5 minutes or less of chewing 3 of these tasty little nuggets, the reflux is either completely gone or barely noticeable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

These work so much better for me, and for anyone I’ve ever given them to, than Lactaid pills for lactose intolerance. The enzyme in papaya really helps my body digest cheese, and ice cream. I could give up ice cream; but never cheese. Friends who aren’t lactose intolerant happily hold their hand out for a few when we are out eating mexican food as well. I found them when at a vegetarian potluck. I declined some cheese lasagna and the whole group of 7th Day Adventists gathered around me and exhorted me to try the papaya pills many of them carried on the regular. THEY WORKED. – Trust the religious vegetarians to have a good solution 😉

This really works super well after eating a lot of acidic food. I literally could not eat anything with tomato sauce without feeling awful until I started using this. It also works super well with fried and greasy foods too, which is what my mom uses it for. It stops me from having painful stomach gas and keeps me from having acid reflux from lasagna and pizza, so really, that’s all it ever needed to do to get it’s 5 stars.

For those occasions when my digestive system is causing discomfort from a meal or a series of incompatible food combinations, I rely on Super Papaya Enzyme Plus by American Health. The chewable, pleasant tasting, somewhat chalky supplements offer natural enzyme support and ease digestive distress quite effectively and gently. Just three little tablets at the onset of gas, bloating, churning, or over-eating and these little power warriors perform wonders. We purchase these repeatedly and I’m impressed that the integrity of the product remains unchanged.

These have been great for us, for nearly 50 years; we swear by them; helps all ages.
When our babies had colic, I crushed one tab into powder, mix into their milk to give using a spoon, and it stopped the colic each time–helps digest the milk.
When adults have upset tummies, chewing 4 to 6 tabs–helps digest the food.
Most Reflux problems are related to eating foods the digestive system cannot handle..it will either push them up and out [reflux], or push them down very fast [IBS diarrhea-like].
If you are gonna insist on eating foods your system lacks it’s own digestive enzymes to handle [most folks have this problem to some degree, for a number of reasons], it really helps to give the system digestive enzyme supplements to help it digest.
Nothing else has done so well as these, in all those decades.

This stuff is amazing and more people should know about it. One night my husband had heartburn in the middle of the night so I gave him some of these and in the morning he asked what magic I had given him ?.
It’s best used daily and preventively but it works quickly and on the spot as needed as well. Whenever I’ve given it someone at my house who is having heartburn or a related issue they’ve asked what it is so they can get some for themselves!
David –
Okay, I get SUPER bad heartburn while pregnant and Tums just wasn’t doing the job, and also, it would make me sick to my stomach, which is NOT what I wanted to deal with in my 1st trimester. 3 of these chewable pills work better than taking any amount of tums and it’s all-natural. I’m pretty sure I’ll never buy Tums ever again. I can’t rave enough about how amazing these are. Great for 55+ as well, my mom, grandma, and grandma in law all take this product and can’t live without it. Highly recommend! I’ve already purchased it twice.

After using up my first bottle I wasn’t clear on how I felt about them. Like, I felt some relief when taking these tablets, but not sure if it really made much of a difference if I just went without them. To be clear, I don’t have any diagnosed digestive problems, I just know that my body doesn’t digest food very well. I went a week or two without buying more and I started to realize how helpful those little tablets actually were! I was much more bloated and uncomfortable after eating. I decided to see what digestive enzymes Walmart had so I wouldn’t have to wait for these to ship. It was the Nature Valley’s chewable tablets…those did nothing at all for me! I’ve now ordered, received, and started taking the American Health Super Papaya Enzymes again and I’ll be sure not to make the same mistake of going without them again! The mint flavor is fine, doesn’t matter to me either way, but I do like that these have no food coloring.

These enzyme tablets are amazing. I was looking for something to help with acid reflux. I was taking Pepcid every day or Tums or both. I wanted to find something natural to eliminate acid reflex so I could stop taking Pepcid. I tried several natural things. These tablets are the only thing that worked. I take a few after every meal and just before bed. I haven’t taken Pepcid or Tums for several months. You can chew the tablets or let them dissolve in your mouth. They taste pretty good – minty.

Overall these are superb compared to others we’ve tried. My husband takes these for heartburn and digestion.. but the REAL reason we order these is for our rabbits. Although not proven and at your own discretion.. we use these for our French Angoras during their heavy shedding seasons. They are known to help the digestion and break up hair that may be consumed during the process. We give them a tablet daily and they go bonkers they love these so much. There has never been any I’ll side effects from our off label use or per label use. I’d highly recommend. The taste is fantastic and although I personally think it’s a little too chalky, they are much easier to get down than a handful of tums.
Heather –
I just got these today. Amazon knocked at my door at the exact perfect time, as I was sipping a coke trying to relieve horrible heartburn.
I take nexium 2x a day and still get breakthrough heartburn thanks to a hiatal hernia.
I popped 3 in my mouth and chewed and less than 60 seconds went by and the burn was gone.
Where have these been for the past several years of my life??
My only regret was not learning about this stuff sooner.
Patricia –
I have suffered with IBS on and off for several years. I always thought I needed antacids to “fix” that. After some research I discovered the benefits of papain for digestion. What difference these tablets make!! I have not had a problem since I began taking these – no matter what I eat. I also need lactaid for dairy products, with the exception of a high quality yogurt – nothing artificial. I’ll never be without these pills again.

Some people choose to eat whatever pleases them, with out giving too much thought, to whether or not their gastrointestinal track, can handle those certain types of food. If you’re like me, and don’t like swallowing capsules, chewable Super Papaya Enzyme Plus, can make the difference, whether or not you’ll need to take an antacid, after your meal. I use them whenever I consume any type of food, including chocolate, they’re pleasant tasting & get the job done in helping to breakdown & digest foods. I tried the regular Papaya enzymes but found them too sweet. Hope this helps.

***I am not a doctor, and do not change your medications without consulting your physician!
I had been on PPI’s for over 20 years. After researching the latest studies, I became concerned and wanted to stop taking them.
I took a loooong time to wean off my PPI. Once I was ready to stop completely, I began taking this supplement…and it works!!
I’m so glad I can take care of my GI symptoms as needed and naturally!
It is a fresh minty taste – just what the label says. I find it like an after dinner mint, lightly refreshing.
I’m going to carry these with me as needed, and I use them every night. Really a wonder for me!!

My heartburn has been bad off and on during my pregnancy but particularly during my last trimester.
With a history of kidney stones I didn’t want to keep popping Tums like candy and my midwife suggested papaya enzyme instead. They help not only with heartburn but that bloated, overly full feeling I get after most meals during my third trimester. Work so much better and faster than Tums too! And the taste is much more palatable. I can’t foresee myself ever going back to Tums even after baby is born, these are fantastic!
C. Choquette –
Ordered this because I’ve been feeling uneasy after eating for awhile now. The taste isn’t bad, actually quite good for a chewable, not too chalky. Offers relief probably 8 out of 10 times, but everyone is different. Good price for the quantity and shipped fast. I would recommend to anyone who’s feeling uneasy after eating.
Dudette –
Have been using these for years. They taste great and give you instant relief. I take it 4 a time, since that seems to work better and faster. But I bought these by mistake and dont like them that much. They taste like mint. I dont like them. Probably because I bought them by mistake. I love the original ones.
But there is nothing on the jar itself to let you know it is minty. That I think is something that should be corrected!
Otherwise I give the original ones 5 stars for sure.

American Health Chewable Super Papaya Enzyme Plus delivers on its promises! Chew 3 after each meal and you will not experience distress at all (I can’t make any promises if you devour the hottest peppers imaginable!). This product saved my vacation – being away from home and eating foods out of my normal choices was causing that constant “just uncomfortable” feeling – went to the local health food store and they sold me a roll of these. Comfort returned!!! Have purchased the 360 chewable tablet size bottle and am VERY HAPPY with this product! I take these with me everywhere and they have never disappointed. Thank you American Health!

My husband and I have sworn by this product for several years now and have introduced it to all of our family and friends. It works well for kids too. On holidays, like Thanksgiving, we’ve actually handed it out after a heavy meal. But, we use this remedy all the time. If you have any sort of stomach ache going on or you are feeling nauseated, bloated, or just out of sorts digestively speaking, this is your miracle product. Nothing weird or explosive happens, it just gently and fairly quickly helps your tummy out. We’ve never tried another brand. Why mess with the best?
