Yes, the powdered is what you want. What are you going to use it for? I mix the powder 1tsp powder to 4 tsp water and give put in formula or feed by syringe.

We use it for any type of digestive upset. You never want to give it dry as it sucks up a lot of moisture. Mix some of the dry and you will see how it gels together. It can be used for care of all animals. There are many good reads on the new about slippery elm.
