In short
Slippery elm is a North American tree, Ulmus rubra. Its inner bark, dried and powdered, is an old herbal staple.
A little background
Native communities and early settlers prepared the inner bark for gentle, soothing uses. Stir the powder into water and it turns smooth and slick, which is how the tree earned its name.
Its job in the gummy
That soft, soothing nature fits the comfort side of the formula.* In the blend it stands with lion’s mane and lemon balm and dandelion leaf.
Worth knowing
Like the others in the blend, its exact amount is not split out; the label prints the 430 mg total.
