Activated Charcoal Tablets

Activated charcoal is a substance made from the burning of wood and other organic materials. It is commonly used in medicine as a last-resort measure when people have ingested toxic substances. Activated charcoal is a non-toxic, non-carcinogenic substance that adsorbs and binds to substances that it comes into contact with. It can adsorb over 50 times its own weight in a single dose. Activated charcoal is effective at absorbing drugs and poisons from the gastrointestinal tract, the lungs, and other areas of the body.
