A member asked:
Are there any documented birth defects with taking papaya enzymes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None known: Linking a specific supplement to birth defects in general or a specific birth defect is extremely difficult as all these events are very rare.You should discuss all supplements with your obstetrician and limit the supplements to those which have proven benefits. For ex. Folic acid for spinal cord defects.
