Activated charcoal helps to mop up substances that can cause gastrointestinal distress.
Activated Charcoal is commonly used to support the adsorption of unwanted digestive gas and ingested poisons and food borne noxious materials.
Each capsule contains:
| Pure virgin, activated charcoal | 260mg |
2 capsules as needed, after food for gas and gastrointestinal discomfort
Repeat after two hours if discomfort persists
PRECAUTIONS
Not to be taken continuously or long-term. Do not take concomitantly with medications (including the contraceptive pill) or nutritional supplements as activated charcoal can reduce their absorption.
Activated charcoal should not be given to people with an obstruction of the intestines or if the person has swallowed a corrosive agent, such as a strong acid or alkali.
Always ask your product supplier or health professional if there are any specific precautions regarding your use of this or any supplement.
In the event of accidental poisoning, please call the New Zealand National Poisons Centre 24/7 help line 0800 POISON (0800 764 766) before using activated charcoal. They will advise as to the use of charcoal after taking info on the type of poison, allergies and other medical problems.
