Slippery Elm Bark Powder Capsules

Slippery Elm Bark Powder Capsules are derived from the inner bark of a North American species of elm called ‘Red Elm’ or ‘Ulmas Rubra’. The inner bark of the Red Elm has been used for centuries by Native Americans/American Indians for a variety of healthcare applications. The primary benefit of Slippery Elm is its soothing mucilaginous effect, which comforts a variety of indoor and outdoor conditions.

Benefits:

• Slippery Elm internally can be used to soothe a sore throat and to calm digestive issues such as heartburn or acid reflux.
• It coats the entire length of the digestive tract and as such is often suggested by natural health practitioners for all types of digestive issues such as IBS/Irritable Bowel Syndrome, ulcers, colitis, and Crohn’s disease.
• Native Americans used slippery elm in healing salves for wounds, boils, ulcers, burns, and skin inflammation, while also using it internally to relieve coughs, sore throats, diarrhea, and other stomach problems.

Ingredients

• Powdered Slippery Elm Bark (Ulmas Rubra)

Suggested dosage:

• 1-2 capsules per day.

Side Effects:

• Slippery elm bark is not known to have any serious side effects, but because it coats the digestive tract it can slow the absorption of some medications.
• It is generally recommended to leave a two-hour gap before or after any herbs or medications you may be taking, but this should be agreed upon and directed by your physician.

Precautions

• Like any supplement, it can lead to unwanted side effects when used in conjunction with other herbs, supplements, or medications and for these reasons, you should ONLY take natural supplements under the supervision of a physician.
• DO NOT take any herbal medications or supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless under the supervision of a physician.
• DO NOT take continuously for more than 8 weeks.
