★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
Activated Coconut Charcoal Capsules give you activated charcoal from coconut shell, on its own. Each capsule provides 350mg and you take one to two between meals, up to three times a day, at least two hours away from food, other supplements and prescribed tablets. One pot holds 100 capsules, which covers several short courses.
Activated charcoal is carbon processed to have a very large surface area, so it binds to compounds it meets in the gut and carries them out of the body. It binds nutrients and anything else taken at the same time too, which is why the timing matters more than with any other supplement.
Activated Coconut Charcoal Capsules are most useful for:
Charcoal is the usual partner for Fungalite Phase I Capsules, taken two hours apart from them.
Each capsule provides 350mg of activated coconut charcoal. There is nothing else in it apart from the vegetable capsule shell. Activated carbon and coconut shell charcoal are other names for it.
Take one to two capsules between meals, up to three times a day. Always leave at least two hours either side of food, other supplements and prescribed tablets, because charcoal binds whatever is in the gut with it. Use the lowest amount that works for you and drink plenty of water through the day, because charcoal can be constipating.
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts. Anyone under 16 should not take them.
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Coconut charcoal or hardwood charcoal, capsules or powder?
Both are carbon treated to have a very large surface area. Coconut shell is the usual choice for supplements because it gives a fine, consistent product. Powder is messy and stains, while capsules deliver a measured 350mg with none of that.
How many capsules should I take?
One or two between meals, up to three times a day. Start with one and use the lowest amount that does the job.
When is the best time to take charcoal?
Between meals, at least two hours away from food, other supplements and any prescribed tablets. Mid morning, mid afternoon and bedtime are the usual slots.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Not at the same time as anything else. Charcoal binds whatever it meets, so take it two hours apart from everything else, including Fungalite Phase I Capsules if you take the two together as a routine.
Does charcoal have side effects?
It can be constipating, which the lowest amount and plenty of water help with. Black stools are normal with charcoal and nothing to worry about. If you take prescribed tablets, speak to your GP or pharmacist first, because charcoal can stop them being absorbed.
Why capsules rather than tablets?
A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it needs none of the binders or coating that hold a tablet together.

Activated Coconut Charcoal supports gut lining integrity and digestive function.
Initial improvements within 1-2 weeks. Full soothing takes 2-3 months.
Yes, gut support often works best as part of a protocol.
As the label directs, with food unless the label says otherwise. If you have a diagnosed digestive condition or take prescribed medicines, talk to your GP or pharmacist first.
Bloating, irregular bowels, food sensitivities, skin issues, and fatigue can all indicate gut dysfunction.
Activated charcoal can be made from coconut shell or from hardwood; both are carbon treated to have a very large surface area, and coconut shell is the usual choice for supplements because it gives a fine, consistent product. Powder is messy and stains; capsules deliver a measured 350 mg with none of that. Whichever form, it binds whatever is in the gut with it, so it is taken between meals and away from other supplements and prescribed medicines.
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
