Integrative Therapeutics Activated Charcoal Capsules

Description

Activated charcoal is a fine, highly porous material that has long been used to bind certain compounds as they move through the digestive tract. The mechanism is called adsorption rather than absorption, meaning compounds stick to the charcoal’s surface rather than being taken into it. Integrative Therapeutics offers it here in capsule form for everyday digestive support.

Because of its porous structure and negative surface charge, activated charcoal attracts certain compounds in the gut and helps carry them through the digestive tract as part of the body’s normal elimination process.* The charcoal itself passes through without being absorbed into the bloodstream, staying in the digestive tract the whole way through.

• Traditional adsorbent used for digestive support*
• Supports the body’s normal digestive elimination process*
• Simple capsule form

Some people keep this on hand for occasional use after a heavier meal or when travel throws off a normal digestive routine. One important caution: activated charcoal can bind to medications and reduce how well they’re absorbed, so it should be taken at least a couple of hours apart from any prescription drugs, and you should check with your pharmacist or provider before regular use.
