- Supports mucus membranes throughout the body
- Promotes mucus production in the gastrointestinal tract lining
Slippery Elm Bark Powder is derived from a species of elm native to eastern North America, with a long history of traditional use. Slippery Elm inner bark is rich in mucilage which helps stimulate the production of mucus, a component of the gastrointestinal tract’s protective lining. Its beneficial properties help support mucus membrane surfaces in all areas of the body. Slippery Elm Bark Powder particularly helps comfort and soothe the gastrointestinal tract, and may help maintain regular bowel movements. Vital Nutrients also offers Slippery Elm Bark Powder in the combination formulas GI Repair Powder and Whole Fiber Fusion.
