Description
"Slippery Elm Extract" is a supplement derived from the inner bark of Ulmus rubra, containing mucilage and polysaccharides. It supports digestive function by forming a protective layer in the gastrointestinal tract. This extract also contributes to gut balance by acting as a natural prebiotic. Beyond digestion, slippery elm is traditionally used for soothing mucous membranes in the throat and respiratory system. Its continued use in plant-based supplementation reflects its role in maintaining gastrointestinal and respiratory comfort.
