Slippery Elm Bark Powder

Slippery Elm Bark Powder is made from the finely milled inner bark of the Ulmus rubra tree. The inner bark is naturally rich in mucilage and has a long history of traditional use for supporting digestive comfort and gut wellbeing.

Slippery elm is traditionally used to support digestive comfort, a calm and comfortable stomach and general gut wellbeing. Its naturally occurring mucilage creates a smooth, gel-like texture when mixed with liquid.

Mucilage is a naturally occurring soluble fibre found in slippery elm inner bark. When the powder is mixed with liquid, the mucilage absorbs water and creates the smooth, slightly thick texture associated with slippery elm.

Mix the recommended serving shown on the pouch with a small amount of cold water to form a smooth paste, then gradually add warm water, milk, juice or another drink while stirring. Use according to the label directions.

Slippery elm has a mild, earthy and slightly woody flavour. Its texture becomes smooth and naturally thicker when mixed with liquid, so many people blend it into a warm drink or another flavoured beverage.

Slippery elm powder can be used at a time that suits your routine. Some people prefer it before or between meals, while others include it in an evening drink. Consistency and following the product directions are more important than a specific time of day.

Slippery Elm Bark Powder can be included in a regular routine when used according to the directions on the pouch. Do not exceed the recommended serving and remember that food supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet.

Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, managing a medical condition or under medical supervision should consult a healthcare professional before use. People taking medication should also ask a healthcare professional or pharmacist how to space slippery elm from their medicines.
