How to use activated charcoal capsules for gas and bloating?
Activated charcoal is primarily valued for its porous structure and vast surface area. It acts like a sponge, binding various substances present in the digestive tract to its surface. According to an EFSA health claim, its beneficial effect in reducing bloating occurs when 1g (equivalent to about 4 Swanson capsules) is consumed at least 30 minutes before a meal and 1g shortly after the meal. This allows it to effectively bind intestinal gases, providing relief and improving digestive comfort.
Does activated charcoal detox your whole body?
This is one of the most common questions about this ingredient. It's important to understand that the action of activated charcoal is primarily localized to the gastrointestinal tract. It is not absorbed into the bloodstream, so it doesn't "cleanse" the blood or internal organs in the way that, for example, the liver or kidneys do. Its role is to bind toxins, gases, and other unwanted substances directly in the stomach and intestines, preventing their absorption by the body. Therefore, it's a support for "cleaning up" the digestive system, not a systemic detox of the entire body.
How to Use
The recommended serving is 2 capsules per day, taken with water. It is best to take it between meals to avoid interfering with the absorption of nutrients from food or other supplements. Remember to maintain at least a 2-hour interval between taking charcoal and other medications or supplements.
