## Description

Helps Coat and Soothe GI Tract* Slippery elm, also known as red elm, moose elm or Indian elm, is a small tree that has been traditionally used by herbalists for over 100 years. It was reportedly used by native North Americans and early settlers as a survival food. Its bark is known for its mucilage constituents, which can help to coat and soothe the tissues of the GI tract.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: tasty on it's own or as a supplement..good for gut health - I use this to make hot tea or as a supplement to other beverages for help with Gerd and acid reflux. It's supposed to help heal the inner stomach lining and esophagus..it's actually pretty tasty . I usually add a little honey to sweeten it up, but even without, it tastes pretty good. Tastes like its good for you..
Review: Great product - Super way to use, mixes well and is easy to swallow. Great value too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why do the directions say to simmer this in water?  Does it work just as well if simply mixed with water?**
A: I find it works better with HOT water. I do not simmer perse. I heat water to almost boil or slightly boiling in large microwave safe glass cup. Then pour the contents into a hot water safe glass I have a lid for...which to the bottom of the glass I have put in four teaspoons. I'd guess about 8-12 ounces of water to the 4 even measurement spoon fulls. Stir with a stainless spoon. Let sit  for a while and it thickens up nicely. Might need to stir a time or two over the day. I just drink it over the course of the day right out of the glass then. Some for breakfast, some for lunch time and dinner than finish just before bed. I found if I took 3 full teaspoons per day it was too much like a laxative. This works for me. But if you try to stir into cool or cold water it will float and be difficult to get into solution. It may eventually get there but the hot water really helps. But no you do not need to boil this in water or simmer. Just use HOT water poured over the dry powder and mix well and allow to cool a bit or to room temp. Hope that helps or gives you ideas how to use it easier.

**Q: Is this supposed to be strong smelling and tasting?  Mine is so strong, it cannot be disguised in canned salmon cat food..tastes terrible too..thanks**
A: Susan, The two batches of Now Foods Slippery Elm that I bought through Amazon have been impossible to use because the product doesn't dissolve the way it should. I've used this brand for years, and never had a problem with it prior to these two batches. I purchased the same product from a local health food store yesterday, and the same thing happened; it will not dissolve. I wrote to Now Foods about this two weeks ago but haven't heard back, and I'm sorry to say that I don't expect to. Amazon will not refund my money for this product, so I'll never buy it from Amazon again. I told the store clerk about the problem before I bought this yesterday, and she said that the store will refund my money and will contact Now Foods about the problem. BTW, the lot numbers on all 3 packages are different, so I think the formula or processing has changed.

**Q: what are the ingredients in this powder?**
A: The only ingredient is slippery elm powder. If you were wondering, it comes from the bark of the slippery elm tree.

**Q: expiration date**
A: I bought this about a year ago, it expires in 10/19

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product

Super way to use, mixes well and is easy to swallow. Great value too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soothes CAT'S tummy!
*by S***Q on December 29, 2018*

My cat with IBD suffers typical symptoms including nausea and upset stomach. I read and now wholeheartedly believe that slippery elm works like Pepto-Bismol (which is toxic to cats), coating the tummy and providing swift relief to cats and I'd imagine all pets. It does a myriad of other medicinally beneficial things for cats that I encourage everybody to do a quick online search. I promise you'll be amazed! This is a an absolute MUST item in my kitty medicine arsenal. NOW brand is an inexpensive yet 100% trustworthy source of quality SEP - - which is critical, as I've actually tried a couple other brands in capsule form that appeared legit but once prepared smelled noxious/burned, thus obviously NOT pure & full of God knows what random fillers. **I mix ONE heaping TBSP in 1/2cup cold water in a glass sauce pan, bring to boil then immediately reduce to simmer for 3-5mins. Stir/whisk constantly (I use a fork). Finished product will be think, gelatinous (PERFECT to soothe tummy), some call it "gruel". I fill a 5 cc syringe & administer orally then store remaining gruel in fridge for up to 1 week. FYI - You can't really mess up proportionately so don't sweat it! Above pep method is preferred but in a pinch, you can forgo boiling & simply mix & serve. For single dose, I eyeball appx 1/2 TSP powder to maybe 1 TBSP water. Good luck!
