We would suggest you not take the Heal n Soothe even though the Citrus Bioflavonoid used in Heal n Soothe is derived form a different Botanical Species then Grapefruit however they are from the same Citrus family. If you have question or concerns about taking any products with Citrus Bioflavonoid in them please consult your physician before purchase and/or use.

Because there is the chance that polyps may be removed at the time of the colonoscopy, we are providing the suggestion that you pause the Heal n Soothe for two weeks prior to your procedure and we would suggest that if polyps were removed that you wait 4-5 days before starting the Heal n Soothe back up or with your physicians approval (that all risk of bleeding has passed). If no polyps were removed and no bleeding accrued during the procedure, you can start the Heal n Soothe back up right away.

1. From a nutrient point of view, Heal n Soothe has a total of 5.65 Calories per 3 capsules with a total of .83grams of carbohydrates per 3 capsules.
2. We have had many customers over the past 15 years, taking Heal n Soothe, who have been Diabetics and have never had an adverse reaction.
3. In regards to how Heal n Soothe can support someone with Diabetes, the enzymes can support healthy Inflammation, supports proper wound healing and can support Overall cardiovascular health.
4. There are no known contraindicated raw ingredients, for the condition of Diabetes.

No, the heat will not affect the way Heal n Soothe will work. If the bottle is sealed and the capsules are dry the enzymes are fine, (the enzymes are not active). The enzymes need two factors to activate, a liquid medium and a specific pH level in that liquid.

We do not use any corn products in our formulation or capsules, although we can not guarantee that corn is not used in minute quantities to help prevent individual ingredients in Heal-n-Soothe from clumping or sticking together during the manufacturing process. The use of such “flow agents” is standard practice in the supplement industry, and such flow agents may include corn, potato, rice, or tapioca. The presence of these flow agents is estimated to be a fraction of a single percent of product ingredients.

We adhere to a strict Allergen Control Program, which tests for common allergens as identified by the 2004 Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act. Corn is not on that list, and therefore, we do not test for its presence. Although the amount of corn is negligent, if present at all, we do not recommend using Heal-n-Soothe if you have a corn allergy or sensitivity.

No one in 15yrs (since the product was launched), has ever told us they failed a drug test because of Heal n Soothe.

As a universal precaution, because there are many different rules and regulations around Drug Testing as well as differences in what substance are not appropriate for you and your current situation, we have to suggest you show the bottle to your Physician and or the person administering your drug test and ask them if it is ok to take Heal n Soothe (with all its ingredients).

Because of the variability in sources of natural and or plant parts including (roots and rhizomes) the color, texture, and odor may vary from batch to batch. However, the formula remains identical and quality is ensured with both in-house and 3rd party testing.

The short answer is no, you do not have to think like you need to start over if there is a gap in taking enzymes and there is not a weakening of the effects…

The longer answer is that enzymes no not work in the moment (they are not antalgics) but the benefit is compounded over time, as enzymes do not mask the pain but rather, help restores balance to the natural way our body’s heal. The enzymes go to work breaking down excess fibrin right away, once you take the enzymes they are done doing what they do and are out of your system within 24hrs but the benefit (the healing takes time) and the healing is ongoing. The good news about the way enzymes work is that once the fibrin in your body is gone it is gone for good.

Now if there is a gap in taking enzymes, there is only a delay in how much more work the enzymes can do during that gap, which is different than thinking that all is lost and you need to start over.

Here are some options to try together or individually…

1. Please put the capsules you are about to take under running water for 5 to 10 seconds to rinse off any, what is called “overfill” (content that gets on the outside of the capsule during the encapsulation process) and then take the capsules immediately following.

2. Please drink a second glass of water, 15 minutes after you take the capsules, ensuring the capsule content is in solution and headed in the right direction. You can also drink Fruit Juice or Rice, Hemp or Almond Milk).

3. You can eat, a light carbohydrate if you need to, (rice, cracker, fruit, etc)

4. You can spread the serving out or divide the serving equally throughout the day. (instead of taking 3 capsules at one time, you can take 1 capsule 3 times per day)

4a. You always have the option to simply take fewer capsules per day, even if you only take (1 capsule per day), that is 1000% ok, we would just ask you to commit to longer-term use.

5. If you have a hard time swallowing capsules you can (open the capsules and put the content into applesauce, mix it well and take it that way) [Please make sure you drink water, after]

6. In some cases, it is best to experiment with the timing of taking the capsules; one option is to only take the capsules in the early AM or Mid-Morning before Breakfast or lunch (not at night or before bed)

Please try one or all of the suggested options and let us know how they work for you. If none of these options help, please consider discontinuing the use of Heal n Soothe. That said, we have other joint support product options like Super Joint Support and My Daily Collagen, additional information can be found her: https://www.losethebackpain.com/back-pain-relief-products/

• For individuals with digestive issues, you may experience some gas or loosening of your stool as the stagnant and undigested proteins are broken down and eliminated.*

The enzymes in Heal-n-Soothe® are NOT enterically coated and do not need to be…

Here is why, only animal based enzymes need to be enterically coated as those enzymes are more sensitive to differing pH values in the body. The enzymes in Heal-n-Soothe® are Fruit based and Fungal based and naturally have a higher tolerance to those differing pH values in the body.

Again, the proteolytic enzymes in Heal-n-Soothe® are not enterically coated and will never need to be coated simply because we do not use animal based pH sensitive proteolytic enzymes.

And to be 100% clear, the enzymes in Heal-n-Soothe® are NOT destroyed by the differing pH values in the different areas of digestive tract and circulatory system.
