Papaya treatment shows mixed results
We analyzed the effectiveness of the papaya preparation Caricol® in treating digestive disorders, including heartburn, using a double-blind placebo-controlled design. Participants with chronic digestive issues took either Caricol® or a placebo for 40 days.
While we observed significant improvements in symptoms like constipation and bloating among early returnees, results for heartburn did not reach statistical significance due to a small sample size. Thus, while Caricol® supports digestive health, it may not effectively alleviate heartburn symptoms specifically.

The best enzymes for my stomach health! These tablets are effective and really assist with overeating, soothing and relieving my heartburn. I usually take 2, but during heavy overeating, I chew 3 to alleviate discomfort faster.

Heartburn assistant

I don’t usually have digestion problems, but I suffer from heartburn. This enzyme is a fantastic assistant; 3 tablets let me forget about it after heavy meals, especially when other expensive remedies haven't worked. Their price is delightful!

Relieves heartburn relief
3 people found this helpful
My rescuers – those small tablets – are my go-to for heartburn and stomach discomfort during GERD flare-ups. They dissolve well, even on an empty stomach, and always help me. Unlike animal enzymes, these plant-based enzymes don’t cause dependency. They aid in digestion, absorption, and are great for occasional indulgences or digestive issues. My friends who try them become loyal fans. A single tablet is often enough to ease heartburn and heaviness.

Although I usually take papaya enzymes with chlorophyll, these serve as a perfect replacement. They taste the same and effectively relieve heartburn.

Convenient heartburn remedy
1 people found this helpful
We regularly use these enzymes (fruit acids). Previously, I resorted to various antacids for occasional overeating and heartburn relief. I switched to these chewable enzymes due to their similarity in composition and often find them sweet with a subtle papaya flavour. They effectively support metabolism and are convenient to carry.

Great for heartburn
2 people found this helpful
These pills are fantastic! This is not my first order of these enzymes. They are small, sweet, and do a brilliant job of aiding digestion and relieving heaviness and heartburn. Much cheaper than traditional options, I take 3-4 after meals. Chewing, sucking, or swallowing – they are convenient to use. I highly recommend them for anyone with digestive issues.
