Ingredients explained
Slippery Elm Bark (Ulmus rubra)
Forms a soothing mucilage that coats the gastrointestinal lining and may support comfort and regularity.
Caution: Take with plenty of water to avoid choking, and separate from medications by at least a couple of hours as mucilage may affect absorption.
Aloe Leaf (Aloe ferox)
Contains anthraquinone glycosides that stimulate intestinal motility and water secretion to support bowel movements.
Caution: Short-term use only; may cause cramping or loose stools and may interact with certain medications due to its laxative effect.
White Oak Bark (Quercus alba)
Provides tannins with astringent properties that may help tighten and tone intestinal tissues.
Caution: High-tannin herbs may reduce absorption of minerals and some medications when taken together; separate dosing by a few hours.
Gentian Root (Gentiana lutea)
Bitter compounds stimulate digestive secretions that may support appetite and normal digestive function.
Caution: May increase stomach acid; avoid on an empty stomach if prone to heartburn or sensitivity.
Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata) (aerial parts)
Traditionally used as a mild bitter and calming herb that may support normal digestive tone and relaxation.
Caution: May cause mild drowsiness or digestive upset in some individuals; avoid combining with sedative herbs if sensitive.
How they work together
Slippery elm provides a soothing mucilage for the intestinal lining while aloe offers stimulant laxative action to encourage bowel movements. White oak bark’s astringent tannins help tone tissues, and gentian adds bitter support for digestive secretions. Blue vervain contributes gentle calming and bitter effects that round out overall digestive comfort.
