Mucilaginous bark that soothes and protects the digestive tract lining
We rank Slippery Elm by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Slippery Elm is the inner bark of the Ulmus rubra tree. It is known for being mucilaginous, which means it contains a thick, gluey substance that becomes slippery when mixed with water.
It is used to soothe and protect the lining of the digestive tract. The slippery substance acts as a physical barrier that coats the throat and stomach to reduce irritation.
The inner bark is harvested from the tree and then dried. This dried bark is ground into a fine powder, which is then sold either as a loose powder or packed into capsules.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the bark must be physically harvested from specific tree species and processed into a powder, which requires more effort than synthetic ingredients but is less costly than rare extracts.
| Purpose | Typical studied dose | Evidence |
