NOW Foods Slippery Elm, 400 mg, 100 Capsules (Pack of 3)

What is Slippery Elm and What Is It Used For?

Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) is a tree native to North America whose inner bark has traditionally been used in herbal medicine. The ground bark contains a mucilaginous substance that, when mixed with water, forms a smooth, soothing gel. For this reason, it has traditionally been used to relieve occasional throat and digestive discomfort. This NOW Foods supplement offers 400 mg of slippery elm bark powder per capsule, in a convenient pack of 3 bottles with 100 capsules each.

Potential Benefits of Slippery Elm

The mucilage in slippery elm may help coat and soothe the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. Traditionally, it has been used to support digestive wellness and relieve temporary throat irritation. It is important to note that these uses are based on tradition and not on health claims approved by the EFSA. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

How to Take Slippery Elm?

Each capsule contains 400 mg of slippery elm bark powder. The recommended dose is 1 to 3 capsules daily, preferably with a full glass of water, or as directed by your healthcare professional. It is important to drink enough liquid for the mucilage to activate. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
