EDIBLE ACTIVATED CHARCOAL Nature's Way Activated Charcoal 560mg -100caps

Nature's Way activated charcoal helps detoxify the body and relieves you from the unpleasant feeling of gas buildup.
Made from coconut husks that are slowly burned to create cavernous chambers that aid in absorption. Activated charcoal works by trapping toxins and chemicals in the gut. The porous texture of charcoal 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, preventing them from being absorbed. Because activated charcoal is not absorbed by your body, it can carry the toxins that bind to its surface out of your body through bowel movements.
