You can find it in everything from activated charcoal toothpaste and beauty products to beverages and supplements. It\u2019s even in ice cream. People are using activated charcoal in their daily lives more frequently, hoping to benefit from its powerful detoxifying qualities, but should you really be eating it? This guide will shed light on the risks and health benefits of activated charcoal, and you\u2019ll learn how to use it safely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-activated-charcoal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is activated charcoal?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activated charcoal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is made from the process of burning materials like wood, coconut shells, or peat at very high temperatures. When carbon sources, like wood, burn, it creates small particles that have a large surface area. The superfine activated charcoal (a black powder) that results from this process can bind to and remove heavy metals, chemicals, and other toxins because of its large surface area. Activated charcoal can be used topically on a porous surface\u2014such as the skin\u2014or internally through the digestive system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-activated-charcoal-used-for\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is activated charcoal used for?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Humans have been using activated charcoal for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4767212\/pdf\/BCP-81-482.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hundreds of years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because of its ability to remove toxic substances from the body. It is still commonly used in hospitals for emergency overdose treatment. Its use for this purpose is well established.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides that, research is not strong enough to support other uses. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides drug overdose and poisoning, some people use activated charcoal to try to treat:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diarrhea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High cholesterol<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kidney function<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acne<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bug bites and bee stings<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activated charcoal is also used in water filtration and is a popular ingredient in teeth-whitening products, among other things. However, evidence varies, so ask your healthcare provider for more information before using activated charcoal, and never use it as a substitute for your prescription medication.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7-activated-charcoal-benefits\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 activated charcoal benefits<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people question whether activated charcoal really works. Has it become so popular because of good marketing or its efficacy? There\u2019s no doubting the power of a good marketing campaign, but some studies have shown that activated charcoal may help support certain health conditions. Here are some activated charcoal uses and more information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-emergency-treatment-for-poisoning-overdose\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Emergency treatment for poisoning\/overdose<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some uses of activated charcoal are debatable, its use in overdose is well-established and researched. Hospital and emergency departments sometimes use activated charcoal to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/11867980\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">counteract certain drug overdoses and poisonings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK482294\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples of these drugs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> include Tylenol (acetaminophen), aspirin, phenobarbital, theophylline, Dilantin (phenytoin), and tricyclic antidepressants such as Elavil (amitriptyline). The key is acting quickly. If healthcare providers are able to treat the patient before the toxic substance has entered the bloodstream, activated charcoal can be effective. However, many people who are hospitalized from ingesting a toxin will absorb too much of the substance before being admitted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t try to treat an overdose at home. Call 911 and have an ambulance take you to the emergency room right away. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.poison.org\/articles\/activated-charcoal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Poison Control Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201cIt is not recommended to use activated charcoal at home to treat an overdose. If a poisoning is serious enough to warrant the use of activated charcoal, the person should be monitored in an emergency room. Over-the-counter products might not be as \u2018activated\u2019 as the activated charcoal used in the emergency room, so they might not be as effective.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-gastrointestinal-tract-uses-including-diarrhea-or-indigestion\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Gastrointestinal tract uses, including diarrhea or indigestion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activated charcoal may help relieve diarrhea by preventing bacteria from being absorbed into the body.

Using activated charcoal combined with the over-the-counter (OTC) medicine <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uclahealth.org\/news\/does-activated-charcoal-help-with-gas-and-bloating\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">simethicone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may also have benefits in reducing symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou have a few options to relieve bloating and gas,\u201d says Carrie Lam, MD, a fellow of Anti-Aging, Metabolic, and Functional medicine and co-founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamclinic.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lam Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cActivated charcoal can be taken in capsule, liquid, or powder form, and since it is tasteless, [it] can be mixed into a non-acidic juice of your preference. Tablet and capsule forms are the least expensive and often the best investment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, activated charcoal products are not considered first-choice treatments for diarrhea or indigestion. Always consult a medical professional before using.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-cholesterol-lowering\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.

The charcoal works by binding to dead skin cells, bacteria, and dirt on the surface of the skin. Skincare products with activated charcoal are popular and are available in the form of face washes, face masks, moisturizers, and body wash. Activated charcoal is now found in deodorant (charcoal deodorant may draw out bacteria and odors) and toothpaste, too. Because of the activated charcoal trend, activated charcoal products are easy to find and use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"internal-uses\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internal uses<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consuming activated charcoal is associated with more potential risks than using it topically. Not all supplements containing activated charcoal are made the same or of the same quality, and they aren\u2019t regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the same way that prescription and OTC drugs are. Buying and consuming high-quality activated charcoal powder, pills, capsules, or tablets is important. In some cases, certain products have additives that contain unhealthy chemicals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"activated-charcoal-dosages\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activated charcoal dosages<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activated charcoal doses vary based on a person\u2019s condition or symptoms. Doctors might prescribe a single-dose treatment of 50-100 grams for adult gastrointestinal decontamination in hospitals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FDA does not strictly regulate activated charcoal, so get medical advice from your healthcare provider regarding use and dosage. Do not take activated charcoal without discussing it with your doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When taking an activated charcoal supplement by mouth, follow the instructions closely and take it apart from all foods, medicine, and other supplements. Taking it at least one or two hours apart ensures that the charcoal binds to toxins instead of food or medication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: It is possible to overdose from taking too much activated charcoal, but it\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK482294\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unlikely to be fatal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This can be a serious medical condition and requires immediate medical attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activated charcoal can also cause dehydration and severe electrolyte imbalances.
