Natural Health 4 Life 100% Pure Inner Bark Slippery Elm Powder – Supports Gut Health, Gluten Free, Vegan – Natural Flavour – Suitable for All Ages – 100g Slippery Elm Powder Tub with Scoop

Good quality

This has helped soooo much. I had extremely bad reflux and antacids from the chemist just weren't touching it. I give my dog tree barks (which includes slippery elm) at times, so wondered whether slippery elm could help me. This worked immediately and has given be the first comfortable few weeks I've had in a long time. Taking this won't mean can stop taking care with what and when I eat, but now that actually makes a difference. I saw a review describes the powder as dark: This is not what mine looks like - It is as it appears in the picture. I have not found it overly grainy and responds as I would expect the inner bark to when mixed with water. There is a negative comment about the taste. I actually like the smell and taste, and ok it doesn't look massively attractive. If you are particularly adverse to this sort of herbal taste it can be mixed with something that has a flavour you like. Only one dosing protocol is described on the jar (morning / evening - empty stomach), but apparently some people benefit from taking it differently (e.g. a little while after eating). It isn't any good for bacterial infections/overgrowth. It can be soothing for sore throats. Slippery elm can be mixed to make a face pack and wound treatment too. Unfortunately it can't be used to help pregnancy related digestive issues, such as reflux. Don't take at the same time as medications.

I bought this twice already. The first time it was great, helped so much with my gastritis and constant burping, did excellent job gaviscon failed. But the second time was somewhat not as expected. The color was lighter which as many suggested supposed to be more right, but the texture was less viscous, and it turned out not really helping - my burping returns. I'm having lots of allergy and hay fever, and taking the first batch helped so much - I was less itchy than ever. But the second item ... not really

I should have read the poor reviews - I have used slippery elm for years but this is the first time I have used this particular product and I feel something is wrong with it. It is darker than I am used to and does not mix to a gelatinous gloop as it should. The taste was also different. As I use SE to soothe a sore gut I was not prepared to give it a try and threw away the first mix. I shall not be using the remainder of the pot but as it was so expensive I shall try to return the remains as not fit for purpose. UPDATE - I complained to the seller and got excellent service. They acknowledged that although safe and useable the product was not up to standard and they sent me a pot of a new batch which I am happy to give 5* to. Mixed well, lighter in colour, gloopy and tasted better so will certainly buy again.

Helps with indigestion - I think. Not an unpleasant taste and mixes nicely with chocolate oat milk.

POSITIVES Easy to prepare, care needed with amount to avoid too gloopy Certainty an less irritating alternative to coffee NEGATIVES The taste initially is challenging, somehow I seem to be less aware of the taste now Relatively easy way to add to fibre content CONCLUSION Easy to prepare, can't really comment on digestive effects, certainly an alternative to coffee, but needs some flavour perhaps, rather like driving slime

Would not be without it Honey and a spoon of this and sore throat gone

Found product very difficult to mix, even following instructions to shake it, the resulting slippery goo was unappealing and therefore did not drink it. Will not be using this product.
