(This is the one I use. It is high potency).

I have recently found Charcoal capsules to be an invaluable health aid. You can also get the powder as well.
Whether you are trying to detox from prescription drugs, social drugs, alcohol, cigarettes or need to remove heavy metals out of your system, charcoal does it all!
The wonderful thing about charcoal is when you take the capsules, it goes into the stomach and then goes only around the blood system, picking up all toxins or anything alien to the body of any type, including all heavy metals, but it does not get absorbed into your body.
The mode of action of activated charcoal is adsorption, rather than absorption of toxins. Adsorption is the electrical attraction of toxins and heavy metals, (but not beneficial nutrients), to the surfaces of the fine charcoal particles.
The charcoal particles are extremely fine and according to Dr. Al Sears MD, one gram of it – an amount the size of your fingernail – "can absorb enough toxins to fill the square footage of four tennis courts.”
Once it has picked up any 'rubbish' in your circulating blood, it merely gets excreted in your stool. You will find your stool will become blackish, so don't be alarmed about that! The charcoal will not cause constipation.

Charcoal is great for people who get indigestion, bloating and flatulence! In fact that is what it is generally advertised for.
The fact that it is not absorbed into the body, means it is safe when breastfeeding. In fact it is very safe indeed to take regularly.
We are all absorbing toxins every day on a regular basis from the food we eat (pesticide residue) and even the air we breathe (goes into the lungs and then straight into the blood stream). The air of course contains minute particulates of diesel, as well as petrol and other things.
It is fairly well known that in hospitals the first method of choice for patients who come in having overdosed on drugs, perhaps in a suicide attempt, is the use of charcoal to clear their system. So this is not exactly something new! However, people may not have been able to buy 'Activated Charcoal' supplements themselves, which they can do now.
In the chelation of heavy metals from the body, charcoal is very successful. Not only metals such as mercury and lead but also for iron overload, which has been proven by someone we know.
It can be used to clear any poisons from the body, such as from a snake bite or bee sting.
Some people worry that charcoal might also remove all the nutrients they take in their vitamin supplements. This is NOT the case. However, it is still better to take the charcoal at a different time from when you take your vitamins.
From the 1980 book Activated Charcoal by David O. Cooney: “Charcoal added to the diet of sheep for six months did not cause a loss of nutrients, as compared with sheep not receiving charcoal. … A level of 5 % of the total diet was given as charcoal. It did not affect the blood or urinary levels of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, inorganic phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, creatinine, uric acid, urea nitrogen, alkaline phosphatase, total protein or urine PH.”
If you are taking prescription drugs, then these may well be removed from your blood stream by the charcoal.
So if you have a nasty hangover or just a few too many alcoholic drinks, always keep the charcoal capsules handy and you will wake the next day feeling absolutely fine!
