NP Nutra (Rancho Dominguez, CA) has introduced PapayaFlow, a product offering the healthful nutrients of papaya such as lycopene, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, and B vitamins. These nutrients offer health benefits such as helping protect normal eyesight, helping maintain normal cholesterol levels, and supporting cardiovascular function and a healthy immune system. The company says papaya can even be used on the skin to help soothe and heal cuts and burns.

In particular, the natural enzyme papain is found exclusively in papayas and offers benefits such as aiding digestion and supporting a healthy gastrointestinal system, particularly the colon, as well as detoxification.

Due to its water solubility, PapayaFlow is versatile and can be used in ice cream, fruit juice, ice tea, soup, yogurt, instant food, smoothies, and more, says the company.
