Few botanicals in North American herbal history carry the practical, survival-level importance that Slippery Elm does. Native American peoples — particularly the Ojibwe, Mohegan, and Cherokee — used the inner bark of the Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) for centuries as both a survival food and a traditional medicine. Early American settlers learned its uses from indigenous peoples and quickly adopted it as one of their most valued medicinal barks. During the Revolutionary War, slippery elm bark gruel was used to nourish soldiers in the field. Slippery Elm has long been recognized as one of the most important herbs in the North American botanical tradition, praising its extraordinary nutritive and soothing properties for the entire mucous membrane system. The species name fulva means "tawny" or "pale yellow" — a reference to the light-colored, pleasantly aromatic powder produced from the inner bark. Mixed with water, the powder forms a naturally soothing, mucilaginous gel that coats and comforts the entire digestive tract from throat to intestine. Sadly, Dutch elm disease has dramatically reduced wild Slippery Elm populations across North America — making responsibly sourced Slippery Elm bark all the more valuable. Our Slippery Elm capsules contain 100% pure inner bark powder at 600mg per capsule with nothing else added.

Ingredient

• 100% Pure Slippery Elm Inner Bark Powder (Ulmus rubra) — 600mg per capsule
  The inner bark of the Slippery Elm tree — not the outer bark — is the medicinally valued part, naturally rich in mucilage (the primary active constituent), along with starch, naturally occurring sugars, tannins, calcium, iodine, bromine, amino acids, and trace amounts of manganese and zinc. When the powdered inner bark contacts water, it swells and forms a thick, smooth, naturally soothing mucilaginous gel. This mucilage is what gives Slippery Elm its traditional reputation as one of the finest demulcent botanicals in the North American herbal tradition — coating, soothing, and comforting the mucous membranes of the digestive tract from the throat and esophagus through the stomach and intestines.

How to Use

Recommended Dosage: Take 1-2 capsules 2-3 times daily with a full glass of water, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Important — Medication Timing: Take Slippery Elm at least 1 hour after any oral medications. Slippery Elm's mucilage may slow the absorption of medications taken at the same time — waiting at least one hour after taking any medication before using Slippery Elm gives the medication adequate time to be absorbed first.

Traditional Preparation: Beyond capsules, Slippery Elm powder can be stirred into juice, pureed fruit, oatmeal, or other foods as a nourishing food addition. It can also be mixed with warm water and mashed banana to prepare a traditional gruel — a preparation used for centuries as a nourishing, easily digestible food during periods of digestive discomfort or recovery.

Traditional Wellness Uses

• Throat & Upper Respiratory Comfort Support — Slippery Elm's mucilage forms a naturally soothing coat over the throat and esophagus, traditionally valued for supporting throat comfort, a soothed voice, and comfortable swallowing — one of its most classic and well-documented traditional uses across Native American and early American settler herbal practice.
• Digestive Comfort & Gut Wellness Support — The mucilaginous gel that forms when Slippery Elm contacts water lines and soothes the entire digestive tract, traditionally associated with supporting comfortable, calm digestion and a well-lubricated gut lining. One of the most recommended botanicals in the natural wellness tradition for overall digestive comfort support.
• Mucosal Wellness Support — Traditionally used as a restorative, nourishing herb for the entire mucous membrane system — supporting the natural health and comfort of the digestive tract's mucous membranes from top to bottom.
• Nutritive Recovery Support — Slippery Elm bark is naturally rich in starch, amino acids, calcium, and minerals — making it a traditionally valued nourishing food for periods of recovery, convalescence, or digestive sensitivity, as recognized throughout the Western herbal tradition.
• Antioxidant Wellness Support — Naturally rich in antioxidants from its tannins and phytochemical profile, Slippery Elm supports the body's natural defenses against oxidative stress.
