Activated Charcoal is something I keep on hand always. It's in my purse, my travel bag and my medicine cabinet.
If I eat something iffy (hello sushi) I will take 2 capsules. If I am bloated in the morning or after a meal, I take 2 capsules. A night of drinking means 2 capsules before bed.
Activated charcoal is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area. It has the ability to attract and bind to toxins and the body will flush these out of the body with a bowel movement.
Be sure to take this AWAY from any medications you are taking or any supplements you are taking.
You can also use activated charcoal to whiten teeth. Open a capsule and mix with some toothpaste and brush normally. Just know it can be messy...but its really effective.
