Herb Valley Slippery Elm Bark Powder 500mg 50 Tablets
Description
Herb Valley Slippery Elm tablets are
derived from the inner bark of Ulmus
rubra plant.
Slippery Elm is considered one of the most
valuable remedies in herbal practice; the
abundant mucilage it contains has
exceptional soothing qualities for the
digestive tract.
The inner bark chiefly contains mucilage.
Mucilages are hydrophilic structures,
capable of trapping water, which causes
them to swell in size and develop a gel-like
consistency. The gels tend to have soothing
properties and can be broken down by
bowel flora when taken internally.1
Taken as a tablet it is a convenient way to
provide relief from the symptoms
associated with indigestion, acid reflux,
heartburn, dyspepsia, flatulence and
diarrhoea.
