What the research found

(Slippery Elm & Marshmallow Root) Both Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) and Marshmallow Root contain high levels of mucilage. When mixed with water, mucilage expands into a slick gel that coats, cools, and physically protects the irritated stomach lining from acid erosion. Primarily backed by strong traditional use and observational studies for immediate symptomatic relief of burning and pain.

Side effects reported
