What is Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal is a black, odourless, flavourless powder that has been used since ancient times to treat various ailments. Today, it is used to treat drug overdoses, an emergency anti-poison remedy and for natural detox. Some are used to help filter water and even prevent hangovers.
How does activated charcoal work?
Activating charcoal is made when charcoal is treated at high temperatures which causes it to develop microscopic holes, which increase its surface area. It doesn’t get absorbed by your gut, which means that when it reaches your gut it is in its unchanged form.
The charcoal’s porous texture has a negative electrical charge, which causes it to attract positively charged molecules, such as toxins and gases. When liquids or gases pass through this activated charcoal, they bind to it through a process known as adsorption. These toxins and chemicals get trapped in your gut and eliminated through stool instead of being absorbed into your body.
- Take 1 capsule per day, 2 hours after a meal.

Q: What is activated charcoal and how does it support detoxing?
A: Activated charcoal is a finely processed charcoal with a highly porous structure. It binds to toxins, gases, and chemicals in the gut and helps remove them through stool. This reduces toxin overload and supports overall wellness.
Q: Can I take activated charcoal with my daily medication?
A: No. Activated charcoal must be taken at least two hours before or after any medication or supplements. It may interfere with absorption.
Q: How quickly does it start working?
A: Many people experience relief from gas and bloating within a few hours. Detox-related benefits may take several days of consistent use.
Q: Can activated charcoal help with bad breath or body odour?
A: Yes. Since it helps remove toxins and gases from the gut, it may reduce bad breath and body odour associated with toxin build-up.
Q: Is it safe to use every day?
A: Yes, it can be used daily as directed for general detox support. However, long-term use should be discussed with a healthcare practitioner, especially if you take chronic medication.
