ABSTRACT:
The disclosed pharmaceutical composition for aiding human digestion uses only the active ingredients of papain, hyssop and grapefruit extracts blended together, in preferred embodiments, with a gum base. In one embodiment, the active ingredients of papain and hyssop are in a ratio between 1:1 and 5:1 parts papain to parts hyssop; and the papain and grapefruit extracts are in a ratio between 1:1 and 10:1 parts papain to parts grapefruit extracts. The active ingredients can be between 3-8% of the overall mass of the digestive aid. A dosage concentration per piece of the digestive aid gum can be between 0.02-0.2 grams of papain, and the corresponding concentrations of the other active ingredients. The papain serves to stimulate digestion, the hyssop serves to soothe and clean one's mouth and throat, and the grapefruit serves to stimulate the generation of natural saliva in the mouth.
