The inner bark of the Slippery Elm tree
has been used as a herbal remedy for centuries. Native Americans
traditionally used Slippery Elm to soothe an irritated or unsettled
stomach. On contact with water, Slippery Elm powder becomes
mucilaginous in texture which accounts for the majority of its
medicinal properties. It has demulcent (soothing) actions on mucous
membranes, including those of the digestive tract, urinary and
respiratory systems.
Therapeutic Use
A traditional ‘mucilaginous’ herb which may help to soothe an irritated or unsettled stomach.
Active Ingredients
Each ‘preservative free’ capsule contains 360mg of Ulmus rubra bark powder.

Sunshine Products have an enviable reputation as being of the highest
quality, with consistency of ingredients and proven usage. We are proud
of this history and will continue to adhere to these very strict
standards, delivering the best possible health solutions for all
Australians. This superior standard automatically positions our product
as being a premium brand and in our pricing we will demonstrate value,
which means the best solution for your money, but not the cheapest
price.

niche market position where our products will stand on their own and be
chosen by those who value quality of ingredients and results, backed by
excellent product information.

Regulatory Compliance & Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)
Herbs,
vitamins, minerals and other health supplements in dosage form are
regarded as Complementary Medicines by the Australian Government and
are regulated as therapeutic goods by the Therapeutic Goods
Administration (TGA) which falls under the jurisdiction of the
Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing.
In
contrast the same supplements in the United States and many other
countries are regulated as dietary supplements, not medicines.
In
Australia prescription medicines and most over-the-counter (OTC)
medicines are registered and labelled with an AUST R. number. These
registered medicines usually carry a high level claim of efficacy for a
serious disease which requires evaluation for quality, safety and
efficacy.
Complementary medicines are
‘Listed’ and are labelled with an AUST L. number following assessment
by the TGA for quality, safety and efficacy. Sponsors must hold
traditional or scientific evidence to support their label claims.
This assessment process ensures Australian consumers have complementary medicines produced at a high level of quality control.
Manufacturers
of Australian therapeutic goods, regardless of their origin must be in
compliance with the Australian Code of Good Manufacturing Practice
(GMP). This means the manufacturer is audited regularly by the Audit
& Licensing section of the TGA to ensure that the strict code of
manufacturing practice is maintained. Nature’s Sunshine Products Inc.
(U.S.A.) has successfully completed all audits carried out on their
Spanish Fork manufacturing facility.
