Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- Slippery Elm Bark (Ulmus rubra) 400 mg per capsule
- Contains polysaccharide mucilage that becomes a gel on contact with water. The gel physically coats irritated mucous membranes from throat through to small intestine, providing a barrier that lets damaged tissue rest and recover.
Who is it for?
Adults with acid reflux, gastritis, sore throat, dry cough or IBS-leaning gut discomfort. Useful as a short-term soothing aid during flare-ups.
Why use it?
Slippery elm is one of the most physically obvious remedies in herbal medicine: it works because the gel coats things. No complex pharmacology, just a soothing barrier. Useful when the gut lining needs a rest day.
When to use it
Take between meals (not with food) and with a full glass of water for the mucilage to gel properly. For reflux, take 30 minutes before a meal.
How to use it
One to two capsules up to three times daily, between meals, with a full glass of water. For acute symptoms, use for 2 to 4 weeks then re-assess.
