Single-Ingredient, Organic Slippery Elm Bark

Natural “Digestive Lozenge” For Stomach & Bowels

Supports Loose Stool, Constipation & Upset Stomachs

Soothes the Digestive Tract

Coats & Protects the GI Lining

Why Organic Matters

Organic bark retains higher mucilage content and avoids chemical residues that can irritate sensitive GI systems. That’s why Herbsmith uses only USDA organic, single-ingredient bark—nothing added, nothing diluted.

For Maintaining Gastric Function

Slippery Elm helps keep the GI tract soothed and moving comfortably by coating and calming irritated tissue.

For Loose Stool

Its gel-like mucilage helps firm stool by giving the bowel time to reabsorb water.

For Constipation

The same mucilage softens stool and supports smoother passage when things slow down.

For Occasional Upset

Helps settle the stomach when something simply didn’t agree with them.

For Megaesophagus & Reflux

Given before meals, it coats the throat and esophagus to support smoother swallowing and reduce irritation from stomach acid.

Just One Ingredient

Ingredients: Ground Organic Slippery Elm Bark

Ground Organic Slippery Elm Bark

Slippery Elm comes from the inner bark of the elm tree and becomes a soothing gel when mixed with water. This mucilage coats the stomach, intestines, and esophagus to support loose stool, constipation, reflux, megaesophagus, and general digestive discomfort. It’s gentle, well tolerated, and safe for both dogs and cats.

Slippery Elm

vs The Rest

A lot of digestive products are built around pumpkin, probiotics, or stool-focused ingredients. Slippery Elm works differently. Once mixed with water, it forms a soothing gel that coats irritated tissue from the throat through the digestive tract, which is why it can help when the issue is reflux, loose stool, constipation, or general digestive irritation. Sometimes the smartest digestive support is also the simplest: one herb, broad usefulness, and no unnecessary extras.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Questions

How do I prepare Slippery Elm correctly?

Mix the powder with warm water or broth until it becomes a gel-like slurry. This activates the mucilage, which is what coats and soothes the GI tract.

Should I give it before or after meals?

It depends on what you’re using it for: • Before meals: reflux, regurgitation, megaesophagus • With meals: diarrhea, loose stool, diet change • After meals: ongoing stomach irritation

Can I give this daily?

Absolutely. Daily use helps maintain normal stool patterns and soothes chronic GI irritation.

Why separate Slippery Elm from medications?

Because it coats the GI tract so effectively, it may delay absorption. Space doses 1–2 hours apart from other meds or supplements.

Is this safe for puppies or kittens?

Yes—Slippery Elm is gentle and safe for young animals. Follow dosing by weight.

Will this help grass-eating or vomiting bile?

Often, yes. Grass grazing can signal stomach acidity. Slippery Elm coats the stomach, and pairing it with GastroCare can balance acid levels for more complete support.
