- Nancy, or anyone else who knows--is "mylase" another (wrong) way of
- saying "amylase"? I got the CVS brand of papaya tabs last night, with
- papain and mylase, though I forgot the mg conc. of each. Please let
- me know. Also, why is amylase the preferred enzyme? For the mucus
- binding the hairballs (is that what I've read?)? Thanks for your
- reply.
