HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Slippery Elm Extract by Earthborn Elements
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This capsule contains one active ingredient, slippery elm. Slippery elm inner bark is the part that contains mucilage, a gel-forming substance, and that mucilage is the component linked to the absorption concern described above.
The capsule also contains gelatin as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
Our data does not establish that slippery elm works for any condition. Every use we hold a rating for, including cancer, constipation, cough, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diarrhea, is rated Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate.
That means there isn't enough reliable research to judge whether it helps.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Slippery elm is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but the high-quality safety data are limited. Topical exposure to slippery elm or its oleoresin has been linked to contact dermatitis and hives (urticaria), and the pollen is an allergen.
Our data holds no safety rating for breastfeeding beyond a note that there is too little information, so caution is advised. Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist about your personal situation.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check any oral drugs (medications taken by mouth) with your own doctor or pharmacist before taking this product. The interaction is rated Moderate and is described as theoretical, since slippery elm may slow drug absorption.
Use the search tool on this page to look up your specific medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Slippery elm may appeal to people looking for a traditional option for the conditions listed above, though the evidence for those uses is not established. If you take any oral medication, or you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a known allergy, be careful and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.
