Now Foods Slippery Elm 400mg 100caps. Slippery Elm (Ulmus fulva) or elm, also known as Red Elm, Moose Elm or Indian Elm is a small tree that grows mainly in North America. The bark of the tree is a traditional herb that was originally used by the native peoples of North America, the first settlers, as food for survival in difficult times.

The ingredients of the peel contain a substance which, when mixed with water, turns into a smooth gel. This gel form overlaps and soothes the stomach and intestines. It also contains antioxidants that help relieve inflammatory bowel conditions. In addition, it stimulates the nerve endings in the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to increased mucus secretion. Increased mucus production in the gastrointestinal tract acts protectively against ulcers and excess acidity.

It is traditionally used to treat diseases such as:

gastroesophageal reflux,
gastritis,
gastric or duodenal ulcer,
enteritis,
Crohn's disease,
ulcerative colitis, and,
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Note: Slippery Elm may reduce the absorption of oral medications due to its ability to overlap the stomach and intestines with the substance it contains.
