Description

A herbal food supplement to support the gastrointestinal tract

A herbal food supplement containing pure, sustainably-sourced, powdered slippery elm inner-bark. This is a nutritious food supplement traditionally included in the diets of invalids and the elderly. It is also a soothing supplement that may be enjoyed by those prone to issues with stomach acidity or irritable gut conditions.

In 1898, a tablespoonful of the powder would be boiled in a pint of fresh milk, to provide "a nourishing diet for infants weaned from the breast, preventing the bowel complaints to which they are subject, and rendering them fat and healthy" (Felter & Lloyd's Kings Dispensatory).

SUITABLE FOR
Vegetarians and vegans.

Directions
Add a teaspoon to a little water to make a paste, then dilute to drink. Or add to porridge. Take 15 minutes before meals. Take this supplement at least 2 hours away from any medication.
