Slippery Elm Bark comes from the Slippery Elm tree, which grows on the eastern coast of the United States. The tree's Latin name is Ulmus rubra. Rubra means red, which refers to the red heartwood of the three. That's why Slippery Elm goes by the nickname Red Elm. It is also known as Moose Elm, Gray Elm, Indian Elm and Soft Elm.
Slippery Elm has a very subtle flavor that brews well in tea. Enjoy it with sweetener and milk.
Please note: Product appearance, including color and size, may vary from lot to lot.
Warning: Slippery Elm should be taken with at least 250 ml (8 oz) of liquid. It is advised to take slippery elm powder at least two hours away from other medications and supplements, as its mucilage properties can interfere with their absorption.
