Slippery Elm contains slippery elm inner bark, a herb rich in mucilage. When mucilage meets water it forms a soft, slippery gel, which is why slippery elm is so often used to soothe the digestive tract. It is commonly chosen for stomach comfort, bowel support and times when the gut feels irritated.
Because the ingredient is simple, Slippery Elm is easy to understand. There are no added digestive enzymes or stimulants here. The product is really about the coating, soothing quality of the bark itself, which is what makes it such a familiar herb for digestive support.
