It contains key chemical constituents such as mucilage (up to 50%), starch, tannins, polyuronides, calcium oxalates, calcium, and vitamin C. This versatile product serves various functional categories in food, beverages, and dietary supplements, including digestive, respiratory, and immune support. It is also applicable in the cosmetic and personal care industry, particularly for skin and immune-related purposes. Native to North America, the medium-sized forest tree, slippery elm, has inner bark rich in mucilage, a starchy carbohydrate substance that, when mixed with water, swells to form a soothing and slippery gel.
