For hundreds of years, Native Americans have used slippery elm bark for its beneficial and soothing properties. Slippery elm is a large, deciduous tree native to eastern North America known for its mucilaginous, strengthening, and nutritive properties. Our slippery elm powder is finely ground from the inner bark of Ulmus rubra. It can be applied topically, infused into skin care products, or steeped into a mucilaginous drink.
The inner bark of the branches is collected in spring. Slippery elm bark added to room temperature water has a slippery and mucilaginous consistency. Native Americans used soaked slippery elm bark as natural bandages. Many tribes also wrapped slippery elm around stored food to prevent spoilage. Slippery elm also served as a food during famine and for making porridge for small children and elderly persons. Slippery elm belongs to the Ulmaceae family.

This product was recommended by Dr. Josh Margolis at Farmacopia to address troubling brain issues that my neurologist could not offer suggestions for. I have now taken Petadolex morning and night daily for the last few years and know for certain how it supports my brain tissues that have injuries. This product has been a life saver.
Taking this supplement supported my ease through the last years of my doctoral project. I am grateful.
I love the formula, and this tastes good, so it's easy to get my kids to take! I stick it in their tea, but personally I just add this to hot water and drink it. It's an easy thing to add to our routine when the sniffles start going around again!
This is a lovely blend of herbs for taking the edge off! I love adding it to tea to boost my night time routine, or just adding it to hot water and drinking it! lt tastes good, and works.
