Papain – a natural enzyme that supports protein breakdown.

Enzymes are biologically active substances that help the body efficiently obtain energy and nutrients from food. They participate in the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, supporting the natural processes that occur in the body after each meal.

Since natural enzymes in food are quickly destroyed by heat treatment, dietary supplements are a convenient way to provide your system with additional assistance in processing the substances you introduce into your body.

There are various types of enzymes, and one of them is proteolytic enzymes, which are specialised in protein breakdown. Their task is to break down complex protein structures from food into smaller building blocks that the body can more easily utilize for its needs.

Among the most well-known in this group is papain, a natural enzyme extracted from papaya fruit. Its main advantage lies in its stability and effectiveness in various environments, allowing it to provide reliable support in the digestion of protein-rich foods such as meat, legumes, and dairy products.

The capsules contain papain with a biological activity of 500,000 IU/g.

The OnEnergy brand has encapsulated papain in convenient capsules, containing 320 mg of papain per daily dose with a biological activity of 500,000 IU/g.

When it comes to enzymes, the dosage in milligrams is not the only important factor – potency also matters. The number of international units (IU) indicates how much protein a certain amount of enzyme can break down within a specific time under controlled conditions.

A value of 500,000 IU/g, therefore, means that one gram of raw material contains a high level of enzymatic activity. This ensures that even a small amount of powder in a capsule is sufficiently effective to support the body’s natural processes.

An excellent choice for everyone, especially athletes and individuals with a high protein intake.

Papain supplementation is recommended for individuals who wish to provide additional support for the digestion of dietary proteins. It is particularly suitable for the following groups:

• Active individuals and athletes: those who consume a high-protein diet (meat, eggs, dairy products, or protein drinks) to support muscle maintenance and growth.
• Lovers of hearty meals: individuals who frequently consume heavy, protein-rich meals that require longer digestion.
• Older adults: as natural enzyme production in the body may slow down with age, an external source of enzymes can be a valuable support.
• Those who primarily consume cooked foods: high cooking temperatures destroy naturally occurring enzymes in foods, and supplementation helps replace what is lost during processing.

The product is a dietary supplement.
