For patients who find tablets hard to swallow, Charcoal Chewies offer the same C-Extra® USP charcoal I recommend in Charco Tabs, in a format that is easier to take and convenient to keep on hand.

SCIENCE OVER HYPE

Chewable, water-free format makes activated charcoal easier to use at home, work or while travelling.

C-Extra® USP activated charcoal supports the gut while chewing also helps freshen breath.

Activated charcoal is also used in veterinary care in selected situations. Always consult your veterinarian before giving activated charcoal to a pet.

Supplement Facts & Label Data +

Charcoal Chewies are a chewable activated charcoal supplement designed for short-term digestive support when gas, bloating or digestive discomfort occurs. The activated charcoal acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract and is not absorbed into the bloodstream.
Each chewable provides 125 mg C-Extra® USP activated charcoal, the same active ingredient used in Naturmade Charco Tabs. The product is taken as needed rather than as a fixed daily supplement, and its water-free format makes it practical for home, work and travel.

The Science Behind Activated Charcoal Chewies +

Activated charcoal has a highly porous surface that can adsorb gases and other compounds within the digestive tract. Adsorption means these compounds adhere to the surface of the charcoal rather than being absorbed into it.
Charcoal Chewies use C-Extra® USP activated charcoal in a chewable format. The charcoal acts locally in the mouth and digestive tract, while the chewable format removes the need for water and offers an alternative for people who do not like swallowing standard tablets.

Safety & Who It's For +

If you use prescribed medication or have a serious medical condition, particularly one involving 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 Charcoal Chewies at least 2 hours before or after other medication or supplements. Charcoal Chewies contain small amounts of lactose and are not suitable for vegetarians.
