Baar Polvo de Olmo Americano, 113 g

What is Slippery Elm Powder?

Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) is a tree native to North America whose inner bark has been used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine. Baar presents its slippery elm powder made exclusively from the inner bark, without additional extracts or processing. This fine powder retains the natural properties of the plant, including its high content of soluble fiber and mucilage, which form a smooth gel when mixed with water. It is important to note that this product is not a concentrated extract, but rather the ground bark in its purest form.

Traditional Benefits for Digestion

Slippery elm has been traditionally used to support digestive comfort. Thanks to its mucilage content, it can help coat and soothe the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. Additionally, it is a natural source of fiber, which contributes to regular bowel movements. In folk medicine, it has been used to relieve mild stomach upset, throat irritations, and as support in cases of occasional heartburn. However, these applications are based on historical use and should not replace medical advice.

Ingredients and Purity

The only ingredient in this product is powdered slippery elm inner bark. It contains no additives, preservatives, artificial colors, or other excipients. Baar guarantees that the powder is obtained directly from the bark, without extraction processes that could alter its natural composition. This makes it a suitable option for those seeking a simple, unprocessed supplement.

How to Use Slippery Elm Powder?

To prepare, mix one teaspoon (approximately 2-3 grams) of powder in a glass of water, juice, or plant-based milk. Stir well until completely dissolved; the mixture will acquire a slightly gelatinous texture. It is recommended to take once or twice a day, preferably between meals or before bedtime. Adjust the dosage according to your individual needs. It is important to drink enough fluids when consuming fiber-rich products. Consult a healthcare professional before starting use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
