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.

Miracle for bloating
5 people found this helpful
Thrilled! This product has been a life changer! I’m absolutely delighted. I suffer from IBS and persistent bloating and gas, and this product has been nothing short of a miracle for me. After the very first dose, I noticed my abdominal bloating and gassiness decrease! Now I chew a few tablets before every meal. I’ve tried other OTC products like Tums and Beano, and this has been the most effective by far! My bloating used to get so bad that my trousers would become uncomfortably tight. This product resolved that. I am so happy. Cannot recommend it enough if you suffer from the same symptoms. They taste good and are easy to chew.

This product is unbelievable! I used to struggle with bloating and heaviness after meals due to my slow metabolism. Since taking this supplement, I’ve felt a remarkable difference. I exercise, but it was hard to achieve my desired shape. This product has genuinely helped improve my metabolism, and I have noticed a real change in my body in no time. It has become a lifelong companion for me. 😊
