Short-term relief in digestion
We examined how the papaya preparation Caricol® impacts digestive issues like bloating and constipation in a double-blind placebo-controlled study. Participants with chronic digestive complaints took either Caricol® or a placebo for 40 days.

While we noticed significant improvements in symptoms of constipation and bloating for some participants, these benefits didn’t continue after the washout phase. Unfortunately, the treatment showed no lasting effect on heartburn. Overall, Caricol® may help some digestive issues but the benefits seem temporary.

Panic attack relief

My Life Saver. I’ve suffered from chronic gastritis with constant bloating, burping, fatigue, and nausea. This caused anxiety. After research, I tried these tablets. Within two days, I felt relief after being in hospital three times for gastric symptoms. Thankfully, I discovered these tablets; I take three after meals. They taste fruity and minty; they’re chewable! My symptoms are gone. Thank you for these; I've saved a fortune!

Immediate effect

It works! My husband has pancreas issues producing enzymes. Every meal, he suffers severe bloating. His medication was $800 a month, and probiotics stopped working. A friend suggested this, and it works immediately! He takes three after meals, and there's no bloating! Highly recommend for anyone with digestive issues.

Helps digestion

This is my second bottle; I opted for the larger size so I don't have to repurchase often. My son isn’t thrilled with the flavour, but it significantly helps with his digestion. He takes three tablets after meals, which effectively alleviates bloating and gas.
