What Is Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal is very different from the charcoal that is commonly used for barbecues. It is made from a range of natural materials and is used in both conventional and alternative medicine as a means of dealing with toxins. Activated charcoal has the ability to trap unwanted chemicals in the body, preventing their absorption and helping to facilitate their removal.
How Does Activated Charcoal Work?
Although activated charcoal is widely referred to as an absorbent, the mechanism behind its activity in the body is actually a process known as adsorption. During adsorption, gases adhere to the surface of a solid or a liquid to form a thin layer of molecules. The surface of activated charcoal is covered in tiny pores, which are created through a specialised heat-treatment process. This porous surface has a negative charge that attracts the positively charged particles found in the excess gas that sometimes accumulates in the digestive system.
Who Can Benefit from Taking an Activated Charcoal Supplement?
Activated charcoal capsules are popular with people who are looking to target issues such as excessive flatulence. Following ingestion, activated charcoal works to absorb the gas that is sometimes produced after eating a meal.
The results of a study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology provide evidence to support the efficacy of activated charcoal. The researchers that carried out the experiment concluded that activated charcoal can help prevent excessive intestinal gas following a typical gas-producing meal. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), activated charcoal contributes to the reduction of excessive flatulence after eating. The beneficial effect of activated charcoal is obtained with 1g which should be taken at least 30 minutes before and 1g shortly after the meal.
