Clinical Description
Activated charcoal is a highly porous form of carbon that binds to toxins, gases, and unwanted substances in the digestive tract. Each capsule contains 500mg of pharmaceutical-grade activated charcoal with a surface area exceeding 1000 m²/g. Activated charcoal is used for occasional digestive discomfort, bloating, and gas. It works by adsorbing (binding to) toxins and gases in the gut, which are then eliminated through bowel movements. Commonly used for food poisoning, hangover relief, and digestive upset. Note: Activated charcoal can interfere with nutrient and medication absorption, so timing is critical.

How do I take Activated Charcoal?
Take 2-4 capsules with water as needed for bloating, gas, or digestive upset. CRITICAL: Take at least 2 hours away from meals, supplements, and medications. Charcoal binds to everything, including nutrients and drugs. Best taken between meals or before bed.
Why are my stools black?
Black stools are completely normal and expected when taking activated charcoal. The charcoal passes through your digestive system and colors your stool black. This is harmless and temporary.
Can I take this daily?
Activated charcoal is intended for occasional use, not daily long-term supplementation. It can interfere with nutrient absorption if taken regularly. Use as needed for digestive upset, bloating, or detoxification, but not as a daily supplement.
Will this interfere with my medications?
Yes, activated charcoal can bind to medications and reduce their effectiveness. Always take charcoal at least 2 hours away from any medications or supplements. If you take prescription medications, consult your doctor before using activated charcoal.
When will I see results?
Activated charcoal works quickly - you may notice reduced bloating and gas within 30-60 minutes. For detoxification purposes, effects are typically noticed within a few hours as toxins are bound and eliminated.
