Węgiel Aktywny 150 mg – Activated Charcoal – 20 Capsules

Węgiel Aktywny contains 150 mg of activated charcoal per capsule in a convenient format designed for oral use. Activated charcoal is a highly porous form of carbon with a large surface area, giving it strong adsorptive properties.

Activated charcoal has a long history of use in gastrointestinal preparations. Its porous structure allows various substances to adhere to its surface through a process known as adsorption. This physical property is responsible for many of the applications associated with activated charcoal.

In digestive products, activated charcoal has traditionally been used in connection with intestinal gas, bloating, and digestive discomfort. Research into its effectiveness for intestinal gas, however, has produced mixed results. Some controlled studies reported reductions in intestinal hydrogen and symptoms such as bloating, while other studies found no significant benefit compared with placebo.

Each capsule provides 150 mg of activated charcoal, while the package contains 20 capsules. The capsule format provides a practical alternative to loose activated charcoal powder and makes the product easy to store in a home medicine cabinet.

Active Ingredient

• Activated Charcoal – 150 mg per Capsule

Activated charcoal is specially processed carbon with a highly porous surface. Rather than being absorbed systemically, it acts primarily through physical adsorption within the gastrointestinal tract.

Research

Clinical research into activated charcoal for intestinal gas has produced mixed findings. One double-blind trial found reductions in breath hydrogen as well as bloating and abdominal cramps, while another controlled study found no significant effect on gas formation.
