Slippery Elm Inner Bark
Gaia Herbs
Overview
Slippery elm inner bark is traditionally used for its demulcent properties, which may help soothe irritated mucous membranes in the throat and gastrointestinal tract. However, its effectiveness is primarily based on traditional use with limited clinical evidence. The product’s benefit is derived from mucilages that may coat irritated tissues. There is no strong empirical evidence to quantify the outcomes of its use, so efficacy is largely theoretical.
The Good

Traditional use supported by some evidence for demulcent properties
The Bad
Lack of robust clinical evidence for claimed benefits
Potential for interaction with other medications
Contains alcohol which can cause negative side effects in some populations
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking digestive support, those with occasional gastrointestinal discomfort
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications (consult a doctor)
