Description
Activated charcoal can bind to toxins through a process known as adsorption, where the surface of one particle sticks to another. This is different from absorption, where one substance mixes into another (like when rice or pasta soaks up water during cooking). The main goal is to “adsorb” the toxins before your stomach can absorb them. Because when the chemicals cling to the charcoal, they can’t go through your gut to the rest of your body. Because it can neutralize some harmful substances in the body, medical professionals use it to treat certain kinds of drug overdose and emergency poisonings. You can also find it in over-the-counter products, including water filters, toothpaste, dietary supplements, face wash, soap, and odor absorbers.
Suggested use: Take 2 capsules after eating or as needed
