Key Health Benefits

Benefit	Description	PubMed Link
Platelet support (Dengue)	Carica papaya leaf extract significantly increases platelet counts in dengue patients. In a controlled trial, dengue patients treated with papaya leaf extract saw platelet counts rise by ~482% by day 3 (vs. 331% on placebo) and reached >50,000/µL one day sooner. Treated patients also showed reduced IL-6 inflammation and faster viral NS1 clearance.	PubMed
Immune modulation & Antiviral	Papaya leaf is rich in compounds that modulate innate and adaptive immunity. A recent review highlights its antiviral activity not only against dengue but also other viruses (COVID-19, HIV, Zika). The leaf’s bioactives enhance host immune response while reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, thereby inhibiting viral replication.	PubMed
Digestive health	Papaya leaf preparations support digestion and relieve functional gut disorders. In a double-blind trial of a papaya extract (Caricol®), patients with chronic indigestion/IBS reported significant improvement in constipation and bloating compared to placebo. The study concluded that papaya preparation helps maintain normal gastrointestinal function in such disorders.	PubMed
Liver protection & detoxification	Papaya leaf shows hepatoprotective properties in preclinical and review reports. Its antioxidant constituents (flavonoids, vitamins) help protect liver cells from toxic damage. This suggests a role in liver detoxification and protection against chemically-induced hepatic injury (though human trials on liver endpoints are limited).	PubMed

Immune & Antiviral Defense	1 – 2 weeks for reduced incidence of illness and improved immune activity
Anti-Inflammatory Effects	2 – 4 weeks for reduced inflammation markers and oxidative stress

Liver Enzyme Balance	2 – 4 weeks for measurable reductions in AST, ALT, and improvement in liver function tests (if mildly elevated)

How to Maximise Results

Goal	Stack & Lifestyle Tips
Platelet Count Support	• Combine with vitamin C and maintain hydration• Avoid NSAIDs, aspirin, and alcohol which can suppress platelet function
Immune Defense	• Stack with zinc and echinacea• Practice good hygiene, sleep 7–8 hrs, and avoid overtraining during viral outbreaks
Digestive Comfort	• Take before meals• Include dietary fiber and fermented foods• Avoid excess sugar, fried foods, and carbonated beverages
Liver Health & Detox	• Add NAC or milk thistle extract• Avoid alcohol, high-fat processed foods• Increase intake of cruciferous vegetables (e.g., broccoli, kale)

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding	Papaya (especially unripe or concentrated extracts) may stimulate uterine contractions or affect fetal development	Avoid unless prescribed by a healthcare provider
Concurrent Use with Anticoagulants	Papaya may influence clotting mechanisms, especially in high doses	Use caution with warfarin or aspirin; consult physician
Taking on Empty Stomach (if sensitive)	May cause mild stomach irritation in sensitive individuals	Take with food or light snack
