Charbon Vegetal (30 cap.)

Activated charcoal has a large porosity in structure and, consequently, a large surface area, which means that it can bind large quantities of matter. It passes through the stomach and does not neutralize the stomach acid and does not adsorb from the gastrointestinal tract.

How does activated charcoal works?

Activated charcoal works by trapping toxins and chemicals in the gut, preventing their absorption.The charcoal's porous texture has a negative electrical charge, which causes it to attract positively charged molecules, such as toxins and gases. This helps it trap toxins and chemicals in the gut.

Because activated charcoal is not absorbed by your body, it can carry the toxins bound to its surface out of your body in feces.
