Swanson Vitamins Activated Charcoal (120 capsules) is a supplement containing fine powder of activated charcoal. This form of carbon is produced by a special heating process, which gives it a high absorption capacity. The capsules are intended for those looking for a simple, practical way to add activated charcoal to their diet. Each serving of two capsules contains a total of 520 mg activated charcoal. This product is suitable for adults.
Activated charcoal (Carbo activatus) is a fine, black powder produced by burning plant material such as coconut shells, followed by an activation process that makes it highly porous. This allows it to bind substances.
Since activated charcoal can also absorb other substances, it is recommended to take this product at least two hours before or after taking medication. Activated charcoal can also reduce the absorption of oral contraceptives. Preferably leave a break of at least 3–4 hours (preferably longer) between taking activated charcoal and the pill and consider an additional contraceptive method.
Activated charcoal is often chosen for changing eating habits, such as after a heavy or unusual meal. It is also sometimes used as part of personal care or cleansing routines. The application can differ per person.
No, activated charcoal is specially treated and much finer in structure, giving it a much larger surface area and absorption capacity than regular charcoal.
