HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Slippery Elm by Herbally Grounded

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: slippery elm, the inner bark of a tree traditionally used for various throat and digestive complaints. The capsule also contains cellulose as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Slippery Elm's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive tract health and stomach comfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Peptic ulcers, Acid reflux — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Slippery Elm is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Slippery Elm is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Peptic ulcers.

The evidence for slippery elm is limited. The data we hold rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for cancer, constipation, cough, inflammatory bowel disease, and diarrhea.

That means there isn't enough solid research yet to say whether it works for these uses — so if you're considering it for a specific condition, that's worth discussing with us or your doctor.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Slippery Elm

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Slippery elm is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high-quality safety data are limited. Some people may experience contact dermatitis (skin irritation) or urticaria (hives) after skin contact with slippery elm or its pollen, which is an allergen.

There isn't enough reliable information about safety during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so caution is advised in both cases — talk with your doctor or us before using it if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Slippery Elm

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Slippery Elm.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 2,023 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take any oral medications — prescription or over-the-counter — check them here before adding this product. Slippery elm's mucilage may slow their absorption and reduce how much gets into your bloodstream.

This affects a very broad range of drugs, so your specific medicines matter.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Slippery elm may be worth considering if you're looking for a traditionally used throat or digestive herb, but the evidence for specific conditions isn't established in our data. The main thing to watch: it can interfere with how your body absorbs oral medications, which affects a large number of drugs.

Check your medications before you start, and talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, or have a known slippery elm or tree pollen allergy.
