Activated Charcoal Chewies | Pharmaceutical-Grade Chewable Activated Charcoal

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.

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.

Do not take Charcoal Chewies if you are hypersensitive to activated charcoal or any of the other ingredients. 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. 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.
