How the Formula Works
Heartburn Soothe combines three approaches in one chew. Alginate forms a gel-like layer, calcium carbonate acts as a buffering mineral, and prickly pear and trimethylglycine round out the blend. The chew format means there is no water or capsule to deal with after a big meal. It is meant to be taken when you need it, day or night, rather than as a daily supplement.†
Alginate (in the 550mg blend)
Alginate, or alginic acid, is a fiber from brown seaweed. When it mixes with stomach contents it forms a gel-like layer that sits on top, which is the basis for alginate formulas designed to help keep stomach contents where they belong after eating. Enzymedica does not publish the alginate dose on its own.†
Calcium Carbonate (160mg calcium)
Enzymedica uses calcium carbonate as a buffering agent in the formula. It also supplies 160mg of calcium per 2-chew serving. If you already take a calcium supplement, count this toward your daily total.†
Prickly Pear Cactus Extract and Trimethylglycine
The prickly pear extract comes from the cladodes, the flat green pads of the Opuntia cactus, which are naturally rich in mucilage, a slippery plant fiber. Trimethylglycine, also called betaine, is a compound found naturally in foods like beets. Both are part of the 550mg blend, and their individual amounts are not disclosed.†
Frequently Asked Questions
-
When should I take Heartburn Soothe?
Chew 1 to 2 tablets after a meal that causes discomfort. The label serving size is 2 chews. Enzymedica says it can be taken day or night. Keeping your head slightly elevated when lying down may also help you feel more comfortable after a late meal.†
-
Can I take it with my medications?
Take it at least 1 hour after any medication, per the label. Calcium and alginate can change how some medications are absorbed, so spacing them out matters. If you take prescription medication, check with your pharmacist or physician before use.
-
Is it meant for daily, long-term use?
No. Enzymedica describes the formula as being for occasional heartburn, not chronic heartburn. If you get heartburn often or it keeps coming back, talk to your doctor instead of relying on a chewable. Do not exceed 6 chews in a day.
-
Does Heartburn Soothe contain sugar?
It is sweetened with xylitol and sorbitol, which are sugar alcohols. Large amounts of sugar alcohols can cause digestive upset in some people. Xylitol is toxic to dogs, so keep the bottle away from pets. It is vegan, gluten free, dairy free and soy free per Enzymedica.
