NATURES WAY ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

Nature's Way Activated Charcoal

Nature's Way Activated Charcoal is a supplement designed to bind to toxins and unwanted substances in the body, helping to facilitate their removal. This makes it useful in certain emergency situations like drug overdoses or poisonings, but also for general detoxification. This product is made from carefully selected materials such as coal and wood.

Ingredients

The primary ingredient in Nature's Way Activated Charcoal is activated charcoal, typically derived from a high-quality source such as coconut shells or identified wood species that have ultra-fine grains. These sources provide a high surface area for maximum toxin absorption. Other ingredients may include gelatin (capsule). Always refer to the product packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date ingredient information.

Benefits and Uses

Activated charcoal is best known for its detoxifying properties. It works by trapping toxins and chemicals in its millions of tiny pores, preventing their absorption by the body. The body is then able to naturally eliminate these toxins. It is often used in cases of drug overdose or poisoning due to its ability to bind to these substances and help remove them from the body. Note, however, that it should only be used for this purpose under medical supervision.

In addition to this, activated charcoal is sometimes used for digestive health, reducing bloating and gas, and for topical treatments to help treat insect bites, rashes, and wounds.

How to Take Nature's Way Activated Charcoal

As a dietary supplement, take two capsules two to three times daily, 3-4 hours before/after meals or as recommended by your healthcare provider. If taking for drug overdose or poisoning, the dosage would be significantly higher and should be administered by a healthcare professional.

Keep in mind, activated charcoal can bind to certain medications, reducing their effectiveness. For this reason, always take it a few hours away from other medications. It's important to speak with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, including activated charcoal.
