Integrative Therapeutics Activated Charcoal
Ready to give your digestive system the clear out it deserves? Integrative Therapeutics Activated Charcoal is a highly absorbent material traditionally used to bind certain compounds in the digestive tract, helping with the body’s natural elimination processes.*
How does activated charcoal work? This ingredient is traditionally used to bind certain compounds in the gut* through a process called “adsorption”, which means “to bind to” rather than “to absorb.”
The charcoal has a negative electric charge in its porous texture, causing it to attract certain compounds and gases. The truth is, the body doesn’t absorb activated charcoal. Instead, it stays in the digestive tract and plays a role in the body’s natural digestive cleansing processes.*
This cleansing agent may help support digestive comfort and reduce occasional gas and bloating.* After digesting certain foods, bacteria in your body break them down and generate gas. Charcoal helps by entering the digestive tract and binding to certain byproducts. In other words, it picks up these byproducts as it moves through the gut so you can say bye-bye to gas and bloating! It may also help with digestive comfort during occasional digestive upset.*
