For ages papaya has been a healing remedy in the folk medicine of Africa and Asia, though the best fruits are considered to be grown in Mexico and Central America.
Papaya fruit produces favorable effect on the human body: they improve gastrointestinal tract functioning, assist in the quick healing of the damage of the bowels. They are especially recommended for people 55 and over.

Papaya fruit pulp contains 85-88% water, 6-12% sugars, up to 1% protein, 0.06-1.4% acids, vitamins C, B1, B2, and carotene. Papaya contains a great amount of minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and others.

But the most important ingredient in papaya is papain made of six enzymes extracted from its juice. Only unripe, hard but quite formed fruits are used for it. To get milk from the fruit cuts are made from all four sides. The milk flows out easily within a couple of seconds and dries out in the air – therefore latex is formed. The retrieved latex is loosened in water and readied for extraction of the papain. One can extract 10-15 g of milk containing 10-11% of papain out of one fruit. In addition, such enzymes as chimopapain, proteinase, peptidase, glycil-endopeptidaze, caricaine, lysozyme, lipase and glutamin-transferaze, and amino-acids are found in the composition of papaya fruit.

Papain is a monotiole cysteine endoproteinase. Because of the character of its enzymatic action it is called phytopepsin. But in comparison with pepsin, papain is active not only in acidic, but also in neutral and alkaline environments. Taking Papain substantially improves the digestion processes in gastrointestinal tract, especially for difficulty with protein digestion. The results of the research show that papain provides local action in the gastrointestinal tract, and is absorbed in minimal quantities, that prevent negative internal side effects, especially in the liver.

Papain destroys toxins of many infectious pathogens. Antimicrobial properties are displayed by lysozyme, contained in the latex of papaya. Gram-positive bacteria possess the highest sensitiveness to lysozyme.

Papaya helps the body to synthesize a big amount of arginine, which is an amino acid that activates the growth hormone HGH, essential for liver cell regeneration.

Papain hastens healing of wounds, trophic ulcers, bedsores, and assists in their purifying necrotic masses. It decreases the duration of inflammatory stages in the wound process, rapidly cleaning of wounds from pathogenic microflora, makes favorable the reparatory process. Papain stimulates dead cell digestion, at the same time being safe for healthy tissues.
