Everything you need to know about this product.
What is Nature's Sunshine Marshmallow?
Nature's Sunshine Marshmallow is a single-herb supplement featuring 450 mg of marshmallow root per capsule. Rich in mucilage and polysaccharides, marshmallow root has a long traditional history of supporting both the respiratory and digestive systems. It comes in a vegan-friendly capsule, with 100 capsules per bottle.
What does marshmallow root do and what are its key active compounds?
Marshmallow root is naturally high in mucilage content — around 25–30% polysaccharides (mucilage) and 25–30% starch. These compounds may help soothe inflamed mucous membranes, support upper respiratory health, and promote comfort throughout the digestive tract. It's also traditionally regarded as beneficial for the kidneys and bladder.
How do I take Nature's Sunshine Marshmallow?
Take 1 capsule with a meal twice daily. At this rate, each 100-capsule bottle provides a 50-day supply.
Who might benefit from taking Marshmallow?
This supplement is a great fit for adults looking for natural support for their respiratory or digestive systems. It may be especially helpful for those dealing with occasional sore throat discomfort, upper respiratory concerns, mucus and phlegm, or abdominal discomfort. As always, anyone who is pregnant, nursing, or taking medication should check with their healthcare provider before use.
How does Marshmallow compare to similar products like Slippery Elm or Seasonal Allergy (ALJ)?
Marshmallow is a single-herb capsule focused on soothing mucous membranes and supporting respiratory and digestive health. Slippery Elm, available as a 7 oz powder, is another traditional mucilage-rich herb and offers a different delivery form. Seasonal Allergy (Formerly ALJ) comes in 100 vegicaps and is a combination formula geared toward seasonal respiratory support, while ALJ® and CC-A With Yerba Santa are both available as 2 fl oz liquid extracts. SnorEase, a 60-capsule formula, rounds out the range. Your choice depends on whether you prefer a single herb or a combination, and whether capsules, powders, or liquids suit you best.

- Laura Coyne9/15/2025Products are less effective
I've been using Nature's Sunshine ginger root and marshmallow capsules for years. In recent years, I notice that the taste of these is different and they aren't as effective. It seems like something has been added. I'm very disappointed by this.
