It can be found in open elevated areas, the forest and alongside streams. Slippery elm is traditionally harvested for its medicinal inner bark. Our slippery elm bark is responsibly wildcrafted, or grown certified organically, as slippery elm is at risk of being overharvested. The inner bark is typically collected during springtime and powdered for ease of use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutritional Constituents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlippery elm bark is rich in mucilage, which is a thick, gelatinous substance composed primarily of polysaccharides.
