Slippery Elm

Slippery Elm has been used traditionally for centuries to help with gastrointestinal problems.

It may be used for gastric problems such as indigestion, heartburn and peptic ulceration, in addition to conditions such as irritable bowel, diarrhoea and constipation.

Slippery Elm has a soothing effect upon the bowel, and increases the mucus layer which coats and protects the bowel wall.

Recent evidence also shows that it helps considerably with Candida problems – or bowel dysbiosis – as it generates the correct type of environment for the good (friendly) bowel bacteria to grow and thrive.

Recommended Dosage

2 capsules twice daily, between meals. Must be taken with a good amount of water – at least two glassfuls with each dose.

May be increased if necessary – as advised by a health practitioner.

Cautions / Adverse Reactions

Slippery Elm is well tolerated at the normal dosage.

There are no known contra-indications at the normal dosage.
