Nature's Sunshine Activated Charcoal contains charcoal powder only. Activated charcoal is commonly used for its adsorbing action, which means it can bind certain unwanted compounds in the gut. That is why it is often used for gas, bloating, and digestive upset after heavy meals or when your stomach feels off.

The product is simple and ingredient-focused, so the main thing before buying is how you plan to use it. Because activated charcoal can also bind medicines and supplements, many people leave a gap between it and anything else they are taking. That binding action is also the reason charcoal is used in a wide range of digestive support products.

What is activated charcoal commonly used for?
Activated charcoal is usually taken to help bind unwanted substances in the gut. In everyday use, that often means support for gas, bloating, and occasional digestive discomfort.

Why do I need to separate activated charcoal from other supplements?
Activated charcoal does not only bind what you want it to. It can also reduce absorption of medicines and nutrients taken at the same time, so it is usually taken away from them.
