I stopped in to my local GNC the other day to pick up some isopure singles to sample.. the gentleman in front of me was buying some gigantic container of some protein supplement or other.

They were sampling Papaya enzymes that day and they told the guy that the enzymes in these little chewable tablets help the body access the protein in the supplements, allowing us to absorb more.

To me, this sounded like a snake oil claim... but I figured I'd put this out there.. see if anyone has heard of this. I was going to email my nut, but forgot about it till this thread popped up.
