Product Information 

What Is ACTIVE COAL Activated Charcoal Powder?

Activated charcoal is carbon that has been treated at high temperatures to create millions of tiny pores. This gives it a very large surface area, so a small amount of powder can bind a surprising quantity of gas, toxins and chemicals. Because it is not absorbed into the bloodstream, it works only inside the digestive tract and leaves the body in the stool, which is why stools may turn black.

ACTIVE COAL provides this material as a fine powder that mixes with water into a drinkable suspension. The powder form is preferred by many people because it is easy to measure, flexible for different doses and easier to swallow than large tablets.

Uses of Activated Charcoal Powder

1. Relief from gas and bloating: Activated charcoal is commonly used for flatulence, bloating and abdominal fullness. It binds gas and gas-forming substances in the intestine, which may make you feel lighter and more comfortable after heavy or gas-producing meals.

2. Support in digestive discomfort: It may help with mild indigestion-type discomfort caused by rich or oily food, and some doctors suggest it for occasional loose stools associated with dietary indiscretion.

3. Emergency use in certain poisonings and overdoses: In hospitals, a single dose of activated charcoal is used to reduce absorption of many swallowed poisons and drugs. This must be done only under medical direction, ideally within about an hour of ingestion. If someone has swallowed a poison or an overdose, do not treat them at home with this product. Go to the nearest hospital or call emergency services immediately.

4. A note on other claims: You may see activated charcoal promoted online for teeth whitening, "detox" or skin care. These claims are not the intended use of this product, and this page does not promote them. Use ACTIVE COAL only as directed on the label or by your doctor.

How to Use ACTIVE COAL Powder

Follow the directions on the label or your doctor's advice. General guidance:

1. Measure the recommended quantity of powder as instructed on the pack or by your doctor.
2. Mix it with a glass of water and stir well until it forms an even suspension.
3. Drink it right away, since the powder settles quickly. Rinse the glass and drink again if powder remains.
4. Drink extra water through the day to help prevent constipation.
5. Keep a gap from other medicines. As a general rule, take other medicines at least 2 hours before or after activated charcoal unless your doctor says otherwise.
6. Do not use it for long periods without medical advice.

The dose for children, older adults or people with medical conditions should be decided by a doctor. Do not guess the dose.
