Eliminate Tummy Pain & Discomfort!
Popular because it works! Activated charcoal (AC) traps toxins and chemicals in the gut, preventing their absorption. Tummy upset can be crippling, but you can find relief by taking (AC). The charcoal’s porous texture works due to its negative electrical charge, which causes it to attract positively charged molecules, such as toxins and gases. (AC) traps the toxins/chemicals in the gut and since activated charcoal is not absorbed by your body, it carries the toxins out of your body. Extra benefits – reduces LDL bad cholesterol, promotes kidney function, and is suitable for vegans.

It is important to note that activated charcoal shouldn’t be confused with charcoal briquettes that are used when barbecuing. While both can be made from the same base materials, charcoal briquettes have not been activated at high temperatures and they contain additional substances that are toxic to humans.
Activated charcoal works by trapping toxins and chemicals in the gut, preventing their absorption. The charcoal’s porous texture has a negative electrical charge, which causes it to attract positively charged molecules, such as toxins and gases. This helps it trap toxins and chemicals in the gut. Because activated charcoal is not absorbed by your body, it can carry the toxins bound to its surface out of your body in feces.
It is important to note that activated charcoal is not effective in all cases of poisoning. For instance, it appears to have little effect on alcohol, heavy metal, iron, lithium, potassium, acid, or alkali poisonings.
What is more, experts warn that activated charcoal shouldn’t be routinely administered in all cases of poisoning. Rather, its use should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
