As the product name implies, it has been named after the papaya fruit which supplies some of the ingredients; specifically the papaya melon, the enzyme papain, and the enzyme protease.

The papaya (from Carib via Spanish) is the fruit of the plant Carica papaya, in the genus Carica. It is native to the tropical regions of the Americas, and was first cultivated in Mexico several centuries before the emergence of the Mesoamerican classic cultures.

The papaya is a large tree-like plant, with a single stem growing from 16 to 33 feet tall, with spirally arranged leaves confined to the top of the trunk. The lower trunk is conspicuously scarred where leaves and fruit were borne. The leaves are large, 20 to 28 inches in diameter, deeply palmately lobed with 7 lobes. The flowers are similar in shape to the flowers of the plumeria, but are much smaller and wax-like. They appear on the axils of the leaves, maturing into the large 6 to 18 inch long, 4 to 12 inch diameter fruit. The fruit is ripe when it feels soft (like a ripe avocado or a bit softer) and its skin has attained an amber hue to orange hue.

In addition to the papaya melon, papain, and protease, Super Papaya Tablets contain alpha amylase (an enzyme that breaks down starch and glycogen), bromelain (a protein digesting enzyme), lipase (assists in the transport and processing of triglycerides, fats and oils) and cellulose (a polysaccharide).
