Dr. Feb's Analysis

Scientific Mechanism

The active ingredient, Charcoal, is processed to have a vast surface area. At a cellular level, it functions via adsorption (not absorption). Its porous structure creates an electrochemical gradient that traps toxins, chemicals, and gas molecules from the digestive tract. This binding mechanism prevents these substances from entering the bloodstream, effectively neutralizing ingested poisons and reducing intestinal gas before they can cause systemic effects.

Key Benefits

Key benefits include:

  • Helps alleviate occasional gas and bloating
  • Supports natural detoxification processes
  • May bind to certain ingested toxins
  • Promotes digestive comfort after heavy meals

Usage & Safety

Best practices include taking the supplement on an empty stomach, ideally 2 hours before or 1 hour after eating. The standard dosage is 2 vegetarian capsules (520 mg total). Do not use this product for more than three consecutive days. Consult a physician before use if you are pregnant, lactating, under 18, or taking prescription medications, as Charcoal can reduce the absorption of other drugs.
