Slippery Elm Bark Powder 500g

Slippery Elm Bark Powder 500g is a 100% pure natural equine supplement made from the finely ground inner bark of Ulmus rubra.

Slippery elm is naturally rich in mucilage, a soluble fibre that develops a gel-like consistency when mixed with moisture. This characteristic has made slippery elm a popular nutritional supplement for horses requiring gentle digestive and gut support, particularly those with sensitive digestive systems.

With no added fillers or additives, it provides a simple botanical option that can be incorporated into an appropriate equine feeding programme.

Why Slippery Elm?

The inner bark of the slippery elm tree naturally contains high levels of mucilage.

When mucilage comes into contact with water, it forms a soft, gel-like substance. This physical characteristic is one of the main reasons slippery elm has traditionally been used as a botanical ingredient in digestive-support products.

For horses, it can provide a useful nutritional and soothing addition to a carefully managed feeding programme.

Important

Slippery Elm Bark Powder is a nutritional supplement, not a veterinary medicine.

Claims that it heals gastric irritation, treats ulcers or creates a medically protective coating should be avoided. Its naturally occurring mucilage and traditional use make it appropriate to describe as providing nutritional support for normal digestive and gut function.

Horses showing recurrent colic, loss of appetite, weight loss, behavioural changes associated with feeding, persistent diarrhoea or suspected gastric discomfort should be assessed by a veterinarian.
