Charcoal has been used for thousands of years, probably since pre-Egyptian times.
Charcoal is the result of burning wood in the absence of oxygen. That process greatly increases the porosity of the material.
Charcoal can hold an incredible amount of stuff due to its porosity. Many people take charcoal as part of a detoxification regime. But, you need to be careful with charcoal, especially if you’re taking medications.
Charcoal needs to be taken well away from food. For example, between meals or at bedtime are appropriate times to take charcoal.
Dosages of charcoal can range up to as high as two grams or more. If charcoal is recommended, our clinic starts people on a low dose. It should be taken with plenty of water.

As I mentioned, be careful taking charcoal if you’re on pharmaceuticals. Also, take charcoal well away from any other kind of supplement.
If you want to make the most of the charcoal supplement, eat a high-fiber diet. I like to eat apples and pears, for example, and lots of berries in my diet and avocados. All these foods I grow them myself, so I’m quite lucky that I’ve got access to all these nice fresh, unsprayed produce. When you eat large amounts of fiber, and you have good bowel movements, charcoal is a significant benefit.
There’s no point eating fries, burgers, and a glass of pop and then taking charcoal supplements. I mean, that’s just a dumb thing to do.
