Build Better Bodies with Healthmate Smoothies!

At the Evergreen Health Pantry in Bellevue, Washington, body builders and fitness enthusiasts rely on Healthmate Creamed Papaya Concentrate to make their protein shakes go down easier. "It helps break down the protein so they don't get gas," explained Virginia Raysbrook who owns the health food store with her husband, Pete. Together, they sell large quantities of Healthmate Creamed Papaya Concentrate to many body-shaping experts.

"The papaya enzyme is a digestive enzyme that helps break down proteins and amino acids," she said. According to a Prevention magazine story about papaya, its enzyme is very special in that it is a broad-spectrum enzyme. It acts on all three food groups - protein, carbohydrates and fat. By adding papaya to protein shakes, particularly soy-based protein mixes, Virginia related that body builders avoid the painful after-effects of bloating, indigestion and gas, commonly associated with protein drinks.
