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.
