Activated Charcoal 300mg x 90 capsules
Description
Health Leads Activated Charcoal provides 300mg of activated charcoal derived from coconut shells in a convenient vegetable capsule.
Activated charcoal is produced by carefully heating natural carbon-rich materials, such as coconut shells, under controlled conditions to create a highly porous structure. This process greatly increases its surface area, giving activated charcoal its characteristic adsorptive properties.
Activated charcoal has been widely used in food supplements for many years and is valued for its unique physical properties.
Activated charcoal contributes to the reduction of excessive flatulence after eating.*

Frequently asked questions
-
Activated charcoal is produced by heating natural carbon-rich materials — in this case coconut shells (Cocos nucifera) — under controlled conditions. This process creates a highly porous structure with an exceptionally large surface area relative to its weight. This porous structure gives activated charcoal its characteristic adsorptive properties, allowing certain substances to bind to its surface. This product uses activated charcoal derived exclusively from coconut shells.
-
Activated charcoal has one EU-authorised health claim: it contributes to the reduction of excessive flatulence after eating. The beneficial effect is obtained with 1g of activated charcoal taken at least 30 minutes before a meal and 1g taken shortly after the meal. At 300mg per capsule, 2 capsules before and 2 capsules after a meal provides 1.2g at each timing, meeting the threshold for the authorised claim.
-
Yes — this is an important consideration. Activated charcoal may reduce the absorption of medicines, food supplements and other substances taken orally at the same time, due to its adsorptive properties. To minimise this effect, take activated charcoal at least two hours before or two hours after any medicines, food supplements or other oral products. If you are taking prescription medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
