• Slippery Elm Bark

  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. Slippery elm is a master demulcent.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Adored Beast Apothecary’s founder, homeopath Julie Anne Lee, is here to answer your questions. Her life’s work is to help all animals live healthier, happier, longer lives.

Do I have to use the entire container or do I stop using once symptoms disappear?

When you are trying to address any health issue with our products it is good to do a minimum of 6 weeks as we have taken the approach of many authentic herbalists that the body needs to an average of 6 weeks to process the healing response.

With many chronic diseases ( an issues that has been heavily medicated or your animal has had for over 1 year ) it is often the case that you will need to rotate Gut Soothe with Love Bugs or Healthy Gut. We have many animals taking it long term because they feel so much better when they are on it.

Do I stop using other probiotics?

It is not necessary to be on additional probiotics but if you are currently giving one it doesn't hurt to finish or slowly wean off rather than just stopping something abruptly your animal has been getting. One thing to note is that the probiotic blend in Gut Soothe is quite powerful, offering 30 Billion CFUs (colony forming units) per serving for a medium sized dog. Too much probiotics can cause loose stool, so if you are currently giving one, be mindful of that!

What is the shelf life of Feline Gut Soothe?

Minimum of 12 months.

Does this need to be refrigerated after opening?

The product is freeze-dried, so while refrigeration is not necessary, we believe it will help to maintain optimal freshness.

Can I Give Feline Gut Soothe with other medications?

We often suggest, if there are concerns regarding pharmaceutical-type medications, giving Gut Soothe 1 -2 hours after the drug so it's had adequate time to absorb. This is because research suggests that the mucilage content in marshmallow root creates a protective layer on the lining of the digestive tract, the same as slippery elm. This mucilage traps and absorbs water, forming a gel-like substance that can coat mucous membranes, providing short-term relief of pain and inflammation. There is also thought that this may affect nutrient absorption.

If you have a concern, give Gut Soothe in some bone broth or kefir, away from medications.
