How to take it

Important note
Activated carbon binds non-selectively, so take it at least 2 hours apart from any medication or other supplements. If you take prescription medicine, consult your doctor before use.
Frequently asked questions
Can I take activated carbon every day?
It is best used occasionally, such as after a heavy meal or as part of a short reset, not as a daily long-term product, because it binds nutrients as well as toxins.
Will it affect my medication?
It can reduce absorption, so leave at least 2 hours between activated carbon and any medication, and check with your doctor first.
Quality
Made from 100% organic coconut shells in Sri Lanka under BRCGS, GMP, HACCP, FSSC 22000, and ISO 22000.
