Description
Activated charcoal has been used for over 100 years, primarily for its ability to bind and remove toxins and other compounds, including gases, from the body. The activation of charcoal creates a highly developed pore structure with a high surface area containing carbon moieties, such as carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. These moieties bind to a variety of toxins in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract within minutes of contact, thereby minimizing their systemic absorption. Activated charcoal binds to toxins without being absorbed and passes through the GI tract unchanged, without modifying the microbiome.
Several clinical trials also indicate that activated charcoal may reduce intestinal gas by directly absorbing gas or gas-producing substrates. In a double-blind clinical trial using lactulose as a substrate, activated charcoal reduced both breath hydrogen levels as well as bloating and abdominal cramps attributed to excess gas.5 It has been shown to be effective for reducing the amount of gas present when given prior to abdominal ultrasounds without side effects, thereby improving the visualization that intestinal gases may obscure.
