Quick Facts

Who Marshmallow Is For

• People with an irritated, scratchy mouth or throat
• Anyone with a dry, tickly cough that comes with throat irritation
• Those who want a single, certified organic herb rather than a blend
• People who prefer a liquid extract they can take in a little water
• Anyone looking for a vegan, non-GMO herbal remedy

Who this product is NOT for:

• Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding without first consulting a health care practitioner
• People who need to take other medications at the same time — take it a few hours before or after them
• Anyone who avoids alcohol — it is extracted in certified organic alcohol
• A wet, productive cough — the label use is for dry cough linked to throat irritation

Vitamart's Take

Marshmallow root is the textbook demulcent: it is rich in mucilage, which is why herbalists reach for it when a throat feels raw. St. Francis keeps this one simple — certified organic root in a liquid extract, dosed four times a day. One practical point from the label: take it a few hours away from other medications. If you want something soothing to keep on hand for scratchy-throat season, it is a good basic.

How Marshmallow Compares

Marshmallow vs. slippery elm

St. Francis Slippery Elm Tincture is another soothing herb, positioned for digestion. Marshmallow is the pick when your focus is the mouth, throat and a dry cough.

Marshmallow vs. mullein

St. Francis Mullein Tincture is positioned as a cough remedy with respiratory support. Marshmallow focuses on coating and soothing an irritated throat.

Tincture vs. cough syrup

St. Francis Elderberry Cough Syrup for Adults is a ready-to-take syrup for cough, cold and flu. Marshmallow is a single herb you add to a little water.
