Activated charcoal consists of a fine black carbon powder, the structure of which, through the use of oxygen, forms millions of small pores between the carbon atoms. This charcoal thus becomes an extremely porous surface.
This adsorption capacity gives activated carbon the ability to reduce the gases in the digestive tract, relieving the discomfort caused by them.
Its carminative effect makes this food supplement also useful in relieving symptoms caused by traveller's diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome.
In general, it can be advised as an adjunct:
- Reducing gas in the digestive tract and consequent symptom relief, including decreased abdominal volume
- Relieving traveller's diarrhea symptoms
- Relieving some symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome
- In the elimination of toxins and other residues harmful to the body (purifying effect)
- To mitigate bad breath
- Relieving hangover symptoms
As a dietary supplement for adults, take 2 vegetarian capsules after main meals, up to 3 times a day, or as prescribed by a doctor or health care professional. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
