Avoid treating large amounts as a daily “medicine,” especially because the safety of concentrated preparations and long-term high consumption has not been well established.
Extra caution is appropriate if you:
- Are pregnant or trying to conceive
- Have a chronic medical condition
- Take prescription medication
- Have a digestive disorder
- Are allergic to papaya or latex
- Are considering concentrated papaya-seed extracts
If you are taking medication or have a medical condition, talk with your healthcare professional before using papaya seeds regularly or in concentrated forms.
