The ingredients we use are a combination of proteolytic enzymes along with herbal extracts that enhance their effectiveness is helping many people feel better, get more active, and get back to enjoying life.

That’s why we’re taking the time to breakdown exactly what the Heal-n-Soothe ingredients are. We’ll go over how each of the Heal-n-Soothe ingredients work. And, we’ll dig deeper into how the herbal extracts in the formula support the action of the enzymes.

Just so there’s no confusion, we’ll even breakdown exactly what those little acronyms on the labels next to the enzymes mean.

All of this can help you understand exactly what the Heal-n-Soothe ingredients can do for you so that you can make an informed decision on whether you should be taking the supplement daily.

Guide to Heal-n-Soothe Ingredients:

Ginger extract – balanced prostaglandins to ease discomfort

Devil’s claw – natural defense against joint discomfort

Turmeric – free radical defense plus discomfort relief

Citrus bioflavonoids – healthy cartilage for healthy joints

What is Systemic Enzyme Therapy?

Enzyme therapy is specifically targeted at supporting a healthy inflammation response in your body. Our body encounters inflammation regularly, and a healthy, natural immune response helps reduce it. As we age, get tired, or add stress into our lives, our immune system’s ability to reduce stress on its own is diminished.

Systemic Enzyme Blend – Proteolytic Powerhouses

Let’s get started with the first of the LivingWell Heal-n-Soothe ingredients.

The first on the list of the Heal-n-Soothe ingredients is a Systemic Enzyme Blend.

This includes:

  • Protease AM 225 AP
  • Bromelain 6,000,000 FCCPU
  • Protease 6.0 60,000 HUT
  • Alkaline Protease 12,000 USP
  • Papain 1,500,000 FCCPU

Now, all of that sounds really confusing. So, let’s make it easy.

These systemic enzymes are proteolytic enzymes or proteases. In fact, that’s right there in the name of three of them – the ones with protease in their title.

But, you may not be familiar with exactly what proteolytic enzymes are or what they do.

Luckily, the answers to those questions are simple.

Proteolytic enzymes are compounds that break down proteins into their smallest forms. They’re at the epicenter of your health since your body can’t function without them.

When you don’t have enough enzymes, you can’t digest your food as well. And, you end up bloated and with an aching, irritated stomach.

When your body makes too little, a sports injury can take months to recover from instead of a week. Without enzymes, your immune response just isn’t as strong as it used to be so you catch every little thing that goes around.

Now, your body normally does a great job of making these enzymes. But, as you age, like most things this function slows down.

And, that’s when you run into trouble.

The good news is that with a formula, like Heal-n-Soothe®, you can add those proteolytic enzymes back into your daily regimen, to make up for what your body can’t produce.


Systemic Enzyme Health Benefits

As you can imagine from what they do, the proteolytic enzymes found in Heal-n-Soothe® have many health benefits.

Those proteases in the systemic enzyme blend work throughout your entire body to help whisk away proteins that build up whenever you have an injury, illness, or burn. This promotes a normal, healthy immune system. It supports optimal wound healing. And, it promotes a balanced inflammatory response.

Since proteolytic enzymes break down proteins, taking them helps to support healthy digestion and ease bloating and stomach discomfort.

That’s a lot of benefits packed into one enzyme blend.

And, the bromelain and papain found in the blend just make it all better.

Bromelain is a compound derived from pineapple.

According to scientific studies, it helps ease joint discomfort so that you can be more active and mobile.

In fact, one in one study of 77 patients taking the enzyme, bromelain offered significant relief from joint discomfort. And, it’s no wonder…

Bromelain, known for containing multiple proteolytic enzymes that promote normal, healthy levels of biochemicals responsible for pain activation, is a great defense against pain.

High levels of those chemicals leave you to end up achy and feeling older than you should. Normal levels and you feel ready to take on the world.

Papain, derived from the papaya fruit, is no slouch either.

Studies have demonstrated the power of papain to support a balanced inflammatory response as well as a healthy immune system 3.

And, scientific research revealed that papain is also instrumental in easing discomfort and promoting faster recovery after exercise4.


An Easy Guide to the Heal-n-Soothe ingredients label

Now, you understand the ins and outs of the first of the LivingWell Heal-n-Soothe® ingredients – its systemic enzyme blend. But, we still promised one more thing…

To give you a quick look at the meaning of the acronyms next to the enzymes on the label.

heal n soothe ingredients

Those enzyme acronyms on the Heal-n-Soothe® label are:

  • AP (Alkaline Phosphates) – A measure of enzyme activity for proteases
  • FCCPU (Food Chemical Codex Papain Units) – Another measurement of protease activity
  • USP (United States Pharmacopeia) – A measure of enzyme activity for lipases (another enzyme type)
  • HUT (Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine) – One more way to measure enzyme activity for proteases

As you can see, all of those acronyms mean approximately the same thing. They’re measures of the activity levels of the enzymes.

The reason we use enzyme activity measurements instead of milligrams, like with the rest of the heal n soothe ingredients, is simple…

When it comes to enzymes, the amount that’s in a formula, doesn’t matter. It only matters how active they are.

The more active an enzyme, the better it can help with all of those issues you’re taking it for. This means you should never buy an enzyme formula that lists its ingredients in milligrams because you have no idea how well it will actually work.

Heal-n-Soothe® on the other hand, measures each enzyme’s activity in the most appropriate way so that you can be sure of exactly what you’re getting. And, you can count on the supplement to deliver results.

In addition to the proteolytic enzymes, found in Heal-n-Soothe®, you also get a potent combination of herbal extracts.

Since these extracts are powerful in their own right for supporting a balanced inflammatory response, easing discomforts, and keeping your joints moving freely, they make the perfect addition to support and enhance the enzymes’ activity.


boswellia heal n soothe ingredients

Boswellia Extract – An Antioxidant Gem

The second most concentrated? of the Heal-n-Soothe® ingredients is boswellia extract. And, it’s one that may be even further off your radar than proteolytic enzymes. But, it’s also one with a proven history of health benefits.

That’s because boswellia has been used for centuries by traditional Indian healers.

Boswellia is also known as Indian frankincense. It’s derived from the boswellia serrata tree.

And, it’s a powerful antioxidant – a compound that promotes natural protection from free radical damage. Since free radical damage is believed to contribute to more than 60 different health problems, including unhealthy blood vessels and accelerated aging, this makes boswellia an important part of any healthy lifestyle5.

It’s also known for its powerful relief of joint discomfort.

One study found that people with irritated, uncomfortable knees who took boswellia reported a decrease in joint discomfort and improvements in knee mobility and how far they could walk6.


Rutin and Yucca Root – A Synergistic Duo

yucca root heal n soothe ingredients

Heal-n-Soothe® also delivers two additional potent antioxidants which work together to deliver powerful results – rutin and yucca root.

Rutin is a plant pigment or flavonoid that you can find in certain fruits and vegetables, like apples.

Yucca root, on the other hand, is a garden plant with pointed leaves.

Individually they’re amazing.

Scientific studies demonstrate that each has the power on their own to defend against damaging free radicals and support your body’s natural response to inflammation7,8.

So, taking them together allows them to go to work synergistically to give you the highest level of antioxidant support to balance your body’s inflammatory response, fight free radical damage, and help you feel better.


Ginger Extract – Balanced Prostaglandins to Ease Discomfort

The next on the list of living well Heal-n-Soothe® ingredients is ginger extract. And, it might be the ingredient you’re most familiar with since many of us use ginger in our cooking.

Ginger is a root plant in the same family as cardamom. It’s used fresh and in powdered form as a spice.

But, ginger is not just for making food taste great…

It’s been used for thousands of years in Asia to ease stomach discomfort and irritated joints.

And, if you’re having twinges that keep you from doing activities you love, ginger can help.

That’s because ginger goes to work to balance the levels of prostaglandins in your body9. These chemical messengers send out signals to your brain, letting you know about each and every little ache.

So, balanced levels lead to relief.


Devil’s Claw – Natural Defense Against Joint Discomfort

Another one of the powerful Heal-n-Soothe® ingredients is devil’s claw.

A plant native to Southern Africa, devil’s claw is also known as the wood spider or grapple plant.

Extract of this ancient plant offers a potent natural defense against joint discomfort all thanks to the effect it has on your body’s COX-2 activity 10,11,12.

COX-2 is an enzyme that speeds up those prostaglandins in your body that we talked about with ginger13. When COX-2 accelerates your prostaglandin action, it also allows for intense signaling of the aches throughout your body.

But, devil’s claw supports healthy COX-2 activity to modulate this signaling and ease discomfort.

And, that balanced COX-2 activity also leads to a balanced inflammatory response – a win-win when it comes to joint health 14.


turmeric heal-n-soothe ingredients

Turmeric – Free Radical Defense Plus Discomfort Relief

You’ll also find turmeric extract in Heal-n-Soothe®. Turmeric is that yellow spice that gives curry its vibrant yellow color.

And, you might have heard a lot about its main active ingredient – curcumin. It’s become a health byword thanks to its potent ability to:

  • Ease discomfort
  • Promote a healthy inflammatory response
  • Provide free radical defense

Research demonstrates that when it comes to balancing that COX-2 activity we just talked about, turmeric might be the safest and most precise option out there15. This means that it can give you the relief from your joint discomforts and irritations that you’ve been looking for, without the GI issues other options cause.

To make turmeric even more powerful, studies have also shown that the extract supports balanced level so of 5-LOX enzymes – enzymes that lead to irritation… or a cascade of irritation…16 This means that in addition to easing discomfort, turmeric supports a balanced inflammatory response.

That’s two benefits you desperately need if you’re dealing with joint problems.

To top it off, turmeric is also a potent antioxidant to ward off free radical damage that can add to your joint issues17.


Citrus Bioflavonoids – Healthy Cartilage for Healthy Joints

Added to the LivingWell Heal-n-Soothe ingredients list is citrus bioflavonoids. These are an important group of antioxidants extracted from citrus fruits.

These bioflavonoids come with numerous benefits proven in studies, including:

  • The antioxidants they deliver offer free radical protection18.
  • They promote a balanced inflammatory response19.
  • They support healthy cartilage – the connective tissue in your joints that keeps them moving freely20.
  • When you add all of that up, it means healthier joints, with less irritation.

Alpha Lipoic Acid – Nerve Discomfort Relief

The final of the Heal-n-Soothe ingredients is alpha lipoic acid. While the acid part of the name may confuse you, the compound is actually an antioxidant found naturally in every cell in your body.

But, just like with enzymes, the amount your body makes goes down as you age.

You can get alpha lipoic acid from foods, including21:

  • Spinach
  • Broccoli
  • Yams
  • Tomatoes

However, a supplement, like Heal-n-Soothe®, delivers much higher levels22.

Alpha lipoic acid is important because it helps to relieve the discomfort caused by irritated nerves, while at the same time providing free radical protection23.

    Why can’t I take Heal n Soothe if I take warfarin? What will it do?

      Debbie, When you combine blood thinner and enzymes it becomes a bleed risk (greater than just taking warfarin).
