Swanson Activated Charcoal, Detox Support Supplement 260 mg, 120 Capsules, 60 Servings, 520 mg per Serving Description Why use an activated charcoal supplement? Because it acts like a magnet, attracting and pulling toxins from the body, helping to soak up gas-making compounds and ease bloating.

Our science team scours the landscape for only the highest quality ingredients to deliver wellness products you can count on for mind, body & home. What is Activated Charcoal? Activated charcoal is a fine black powder made from coconut shells. The charcoal is "activated" by processing at very high temperatures, which changes its internal structure, reducing pore size and increasing surface area. The result is more porous than standard charcoal. The process of activating charcoal creates a safe, highly-absorbent substance for consumption. Some charcoal is activated with steam or other methods, but the result is the same. Edible charcoal soaks up undesired substances in the body, making it extremely useful both in wellness applications and detox routines. How Does Activated Charcoal Work? Activated charcoal attracts and traps unwanted substances. Its porous texture has a negative charge which attracts toxins and allows it to bind molecules that are positively charged, including gas and substances that produce gas. Activated charcoal is like a magnet that attracts and holds on to substances in the digestive tract. And because your body doesn’t absorb the charcoal, those substances pass through your system to be eliminated with the charcoal. Activated Charcoal & Gas Reduction In the same way that activated charcoal attracts and binds toxins, it works to bind gas-generating compounds from foods we eat; therefore, it helps to minimize intestinal gas. In fact, a double-blind placebo-controlled scientific study backs up the abilities of activated charcoal to decrease bloating and gas-related discomfort. It’s a great supplement for supporting digestive comfort. Activated Charcoal & Detox Activated charcoal makes a great addition to your detoxifying routine since it’s commonly used to remove unwanted substances from the body. It attracts and traps toxins so they can be removed from the body. Since activated charcoal isn’t absorbed during digestion, it passes through your digestive system to be eliminated, and any trapped toxins are eliminated along with it.
