Activated Coconut Charcoal

Activated coconut charcoal is a fine black powder made from coconut shells that have been heated at high temperatures to create a highly porous structure. This porous surface gives it an exceptionally large surface area, allowing it to bind to unwanted substances in the digestive tract.

Each capsule provides 350mg of activated coconut charcoal. It is used as a toxin binder, meaning it works by adsorbing substances in the gut before they are absorbed into the bloodstream. This makes it useful during periods of dietary indiscretion, travel, or as part of a practitioner guided detoxification protocol.

Activated charcoal is not selective in what it binds. It can also bind to nutrients, medications and other supplements. For this reason, it should always be taken away from meals and at least 2 hours apart from any medications or other supplements.

This product is intended for short term or occasional use rather than daily long term supplementation. Drink plenty of water when taking activated charcoal to support elimination and reduce the chance of constipation.

Take 1 to 2 capsules between meals, up to 3 times per day.

Always take activated charcoal at least 2 hours away from food, medications and other supplements to avoid binding to nutrients or active ingredients you need.

Use the lowest effective dose to minimise the chance of constipation, and drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you are taking any prescription medications, speak with your healthcare practitioner before use, as charcoal can reduce their effectiveness.
