Slippery Elm
Slippery elm is the inner bark of the red elm tree. Native Americans used slippery elm in healing salves for wounds, burns, ulcers, boils and skin inflammation. They also took it orally to relieve diarrhea, stomach problems, coughs and sore throats.
Slippery elm contains mucilage, a substance that becomes a thick gel when mixed with water. This means it coats and soothes the mouth, throat, stomach, and intestines.
Slippery elm also contains antioxidants that help to relieve inflammatory bowel problems. Interestingly, slippery elm stimulates nerve endings in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to increased mucus secretion. The increased mucus helps to protect the gastrointestinal tract against ulcers and excess acidity.
Because it is rich in fiber, slippery elm also helps to soften the stool and allow it to be passed more easily. For this reason it is very valuable for individuals with constipation. Slippery elm is found in Fibertone.

If it’s faulty or wrongly described, we’ll replace it.
Yes, Livatone will certainly help to reduce inflammation.
We recommend taking in a dosage of
Livatone Plus – 1 cap twice daily for 2 weeks and then increase to 2 capsules twice daily, to improve liver function.
We also recommend taking
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC 600mg) – 1 cap twice daily for 2 weeks and then increase to 2 capsules twice daily well away from food, if any upset occurs take at the beginning of your meals. This supplement works well with Livatone Plus to get your liver better faster. NAC should be taken with a whole glass of water away from food. Do not take just before retiring to bed. NAC can be strong on the stomach, and this is why you need to take it with a whole glass of water.
Kind regards,

To effectively reduce both IBS and dumping syndrome we recommend you begin a low carbohydrate diet and consume very low processed foods and increase daily exercise as you are able.
To further protect your liver please begin taking Livatone Plus – 2 capsules twice daily, NAC - 2 capsules twice daily, well away from food with a large glass of water to avoid stomach irritation, and Glicemic Balance – 1 to 2 capsules 10 minutes before meals.

Although side effects of Slippery Elm are not common, it is possible to develop a sensitivity to any nutritional product, especially when used for an extended time.
When gut inflammation is present, liver enzymes can be raised.
Please let us know your liver problems from excessive use of Slippery Elm.
Kind regards

Most liver cysts are benign and cause no symptoms, and we are pleased all your tests have come back showing nothing of concern even though you are experiencing discomfort.
To improve liver health and to shrink the cyst, begin taking 2 capsules of Livatone Plus twice daily and ½ teaspoon Vitamin C twice daily.
Diet and lifestyle can also determine liver health and we recommend you begin Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program.
Kind regards

And same time I have leaky gut I wanted to see what kind of herbs can I use without my enzymes elevated and how can I bring my appetite back coz can’t eat. Please help if I’m doing it right. Thanks

We are so sorry to hear about your cat - we hope she recovers well.
Unfortunately we don't have any experience treating cats and wouldn't know whether the Livatone would be safe or effective.
All the best,

Yes, it is safe for the liver, but isn't usually indicated for liver problems.

GGT is usually the first liver enzyme to rise in the blood when any of the bile ducts that carry bile from the liver to the intestines become obstructed, for example, by tumors or stones. We suggest you get an ultrasound scan to check for this.
You may benefit from taking
Livatone Liver Tonic – 2 capsules twice daily to tone and stimulate the liver to produce good quality bile to dissolve gallstones and establish good gall bladder function.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC 600mg) – 1 to 2 capsules twice daily well away from food, if any upset occurs take at the beginning of your meals. This supplement works well with Livatone Plus to get your liver better faster.
