Vital Nutrients Slippery Elm Bark Powder - 2500mg - Vegan Gut Support

How to Use Slippery Elm Bark Powder

For optimal results, mix one scoop (approximately 2500 mg) with water, juice, or a smoothie. Consume immediately after mixing, as the powder thickens quickly. It can be taken up to three times daily, but we recommend following the manufacturer's guidelines or consulting a health care professional. To avoid affecting absorption, take slippery elm at least one hour apart from any medications or other supplements.

What Is Slippery Elm Bark Powder?

Slippery elm bark powder is an herbal supplement made from the inner bark of the slippery elm tree (Ulmus rubra). Traditionally used in herbal medicine, this powder contains mucilage—a gel-like substance that swells when mixed with water. The mucilage is believed to coat and soothe the gastrointestinal lining, providing temporary relief from occasional discomfort. Vital Nutrients offers this powder in a convenient 2500 mg form, free from gluten, dairy, soy, and GM ingredients.

Key Benefits for Digestive Health

Slippery elm bark may support digestive health in several ways. The mucilage content helps promote mucus production in the gut lining, which can support regular bowel movements and occasional soothing of the GI tract. Many users find it helpful for maintaining overall digestive comfort. The gentle action of slippery elm makes it a popular choice for those seeking natural digestive support.*
