What is in Natural Chewable Papaya Enzyme?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 4 tablets. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 8 Calories | ||
| Total Carbohydrates | 2 g | 1% | 58% of 21,979 products listing carbohydrate give more (median 3 g). |
| Sugar | 2 g | 48% of 11,807 products listing sugar give more (median 2 g). | |
| Papain | 40 mg | 50% of 607 products listing papain give more (median 40 mg). | |

| Protease | 4 mg | 89% of 327 products listing proteolytic enzymes (proteases) give more (median 30 mg). | |
| Amylase | 200 mcg | This amount is far outside what other labels list for amylase, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
