Une \u00e9tude publi\u00e9e dans <em>Nutrients<\/em> (2013) a constat\u00e9 que les compl\u00e9ments enzymatiques \u00e0 base de papa\u00efne am\u00e9lioraient l\u2019efficacit\u00e9 de la digestion des prot\u00e9ines, particuli\u00e8rement pertinent pour les athl\u00e8tes suivant des r\u00e9gimes riches en prot\u00e9ines et ressentant des ballonnements ou des inconforts gastro-intestinaux apr\u00e8s les repas.
