NOW Foods Slippery Elm Powder (Ulmus rubra), Non-GMO, 113 g

Key Benefits of Slippery Elm Powder

The main action of slippery elm comes from its mucilage content. When mixed with water, it creates a smooth, gel-like substance that may help line and calm the digestive tract.* Many people use this gentle herb to support occasional digestive discomfort or maintain overall gastrointestinal wellbeing. It can be a helpful addition to a soothing herbal routine, particularly for those with sensitive systems.

NOW Foods ensures this product is Non-GMO Project Verified, vegan, gluten-free, and free of common allergens such as soy, dairy, and eggs. It is also keto-friendly and certified kosher.

How to Use Slippery Elm Powder

Mix about one tablespoon (15 mL) of the powder with 8 oz (240 mL) of water or juice. Stir well and drink right away—it will thicken if left to sit. You can also blend it into smoothies, oatmeal, or warm herbal tea. Begin with one serving daily and adjust as needed. Always follow the dosage on the label.

Because slippery elm may slow the absorption of other medications, take it at least one hour before or two hours after any prescription drugs or supplements. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare practitioner before use.
