Frequently asked questions
-
No — not without medical advice. Activated charcoal adsorbs substances indiscriminately and can significantly reduce the absorption of prescription medications. Do not take activated charcoal within two hours of any medication dose. If you take any prescription medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
-
The powder and capsule versions use the same coconut shell activated charcoal. The powder gives you complete flexibility over dose and how you use it — it can be stirred into water or mixed into food. The capsules offer a precise, convenient pre-measured dose with no taste or mess. The powder is more economical per gram and suits those who prefer to self-measure or use larger amounts.
-
No. Do not inhale activated charcoal powder. Fine charcoal powder can irritate or damage the airways and lungs if inhaled. Always handle with care, keep away from your face when measuring, and store in a sealed container. If you have respiratory concerns, the capsule version may be more suitable.
-
Mix approximately 1g (around 2 level measuring scoops) into a glass of water before a meal, and repeat after the meal if desired. At 2g per meal occasion, a 200g pack provides approximately 100 occasions of use. If used less frequently the pack will last considerably longer. This is an as-needed product, not a daily supplement.
-
Yes. Activated charcoal passes through the digestive system unchanged and is excreted in stools, which will appear black or very dark. This is completely normal and harmless and will stop when you stop taking the product.
-
This product does not contain any of the 14 major allergens listed under UK food labelling regulations. It is manufactured in a facility that handles a range of ingredients, so if you have a severe allergy, please contact us before purchasing.
-
We recommend consulting your GP or midwife before taking any food supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This applies to all supplements, not just this product.
Description
Health Leads Activated Charcoal Powder is produced from coconut shells and supplied as a fine, additive-free powder with no added ingredients.
Activated charcoal is made by processing carbon-rich material to create a highly porous structure with a large surface area. This gives activated charcoal its characteristic adsorptive properties, allowing certain substances to bind to its surface.
This product uses coconut shell (Cocos nucifera) as the source material and is supplied with a measuring scoop for convenient use.
Activated charcoal contributes to reducing excessive flatulence after eating. The beneficial effect is obtained with 1g taken at least 30 minutes before a meal and 1g shortly after the meal.
