Activated Charco Caps| Pharmaceutical-Grade Activated Charcoal

Charco Caps are a premium activated charcoal supplement developed for short-term digestive support when gas, bloating or digestive discomfort occurs. The activated charcoal acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream.
Each capsule provides 200 mg of Carbopal® CCP90, a steam-activated, ultra-fine charcoal derived from coconut shells and manufactured in Germany under GMP standards. Charco Caps are taken as needed rather than as a fixed daily supplement.

Activated charcoal has an exceptionally porous surface. Through adsorption, gases and other compounds adhere to the surface of the charcoal as it moves through the digestive tract.
Carbopal® CCP90 is a steam-activated, ultra-fine charcoal derived from coconut shells. Its high surface area supports strong adsorption capacity, while the charcoal remains local to the gut rather than being absorbed systemically. Raw material, activation process, particle characteristics and manufacturing controls all influence charcoal quality.

Do not take Charco Caps if you are hypersensitive to activated charcoal or any other ingredient in the product. If you use prescribed medication or have a serious medical condition, particularly one involving digestion or nutrient absorption, use the product under the guidance of your healthcare provider.
Activated charcoal can interfere with the absorption of medicines, vitamins and other supplements. Take Charco Caps at least 2 hours before or after other medication, supplements or food. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning pregnancy.
Stop use and seek medical advice if your general health worsens or you experience an unexpected or persistent adverse reaction. Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the product affects you.
The current source information states that the capsule shell is made from kosher and halal-certified bovine gelatine. The product is therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
