NOW Slippery Elm 400mg helps coat and soothe GI Tract
Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), also known as red elm, moose elm or Indian elm, is a small tree that has been traditionally used by herbalists for over 100 years. It was reportedly used by native North Americans and early settlers as a survival food. Its bark is known for its mucilage constituents, which can help to coat and soothe the tissues of the GI tract.
Its inner bark is rich in mucilage, a substance that becomes gel-like when mixed with water, providing a soothing and protective coating for mucous membranes.
Slippery elm has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples and early settlers for various purposes, including building canoes, shelter, and baskets, as well as for medicinal and culinary uses. Today, it is still used in traditional medicine and is also being researched for its potential benefits in modern medicine.
