Dr. Feb's Analysis

Scientific Mechanism

The active mucilage in Slippery Elm powder (Ulmus rubra) acts as a demulcent. Upon contact with water, it forms a gel-like substance. This gel coats the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. At a cellular level, this protective barrier soothes inflammation and irritation. It allows damaged mucosal tissues to heal by reducing exposure to stomach acid and digestive enzymes. This mechanism supports the gastrointestinal tract's natural defense system.

Key Benefits

Key benefits include:

  • Soothes irritated digestive tract linings
  • Supports healthy mucous membrane function
  • Promotes regular bowel movements
  • Acts as a gentle, bulk-forming fiber

Usage & Safety
