How much Papain should you take?

SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.

  1. Zone 10 to 25 mg per dayLow dose
  2. Zone 225 to 50 mg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
  3. Zone 350 to 90 mg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
  4. Zone 490 to 175 mg per dayTherapeutic dose

Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
