Now Foods Activated Charcoal

Overview

Now Foods Activated Charcoal is a dietary supplement made with activated charcoal powder derived from coconut shells. It is formulated to support digestive function and is commonly used for help with gas and bloating, especially when those symptoms are associated with gas-producing foods.

The formula uses charcoal’s naturally porous structure, which is intended to attract and trap unwanted substances in the gastrointestinal tract so they can be carried out of the body. This product is also positioned as a detox support supplement, while remaining a simple capsule-based option rather than a more complex multi-ingredient blend.

In addition to being plant-derived, the supplement is Non-GMO Project Verified and made to meet vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and halal dietary preferences. It is also produced under GMP quality standards and made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.
