Nature’s Approach Activated Charcoal Complement Gluten-Free 100 Capsules

This Is A Great Product
This stuff works so well it’s frightening, but I do have to make one comment:DRINK A LOT OF WATER while you are taking this stuff!I originally started experimenting with this product as a potential way to detox my digestive track since I’ve noticed it was always included in some “home” kits I’ve tried in the past so I decided to give it a go.What I’ve Noticed:I have terrible digestion and while taking this, my digestive problems seem to vanish. I also have mild acne and facial redness that clears up with this product as well; I wasn’t even expecting this but it confirms my thought that a bad digestive system does influence skin health.I also love to exercise and I’ve noticed that this product will draw a lot of water out of the body… And when I say a lot.. I mean a lot! This is why I wouldn’t recommend this as a permanent solution or fix. If anything, it’s taught me how important it is to maintain good digestive health. I know I can use this stuff to deal with really “bad” digestive days.My experience and gut intuition tells me that this product also will absorb any other medications or supplements that you are taking since the job of this product is to basically “trap” everything and anything it comes across down there. I would refrain from taking any unnecessary medication and/or supplements while taking this product and even be careful if you’re taking prescription stuff as well.If you suffer food or alcohol poisoning there is a very good chance that the hospital or doctor you visit will prescribe this type of product in the moment as well. On another side and related note – this stuff seems to work exceptionally well for hang overs if you take it while you are drinking 😉

Great for diarrhea, upset GI, and bloating.
Activated charcoal has many uses. Below are my comments.1) I tend to have acid issues along with potential gastric distress. I travel for work, as well, so I need to have a more calm GI system2) I use the charcoal to help with digestion leading up to the business travel. I begin taking the charcoal about 3 days before my trip. I’ll take anywhere from 4-6 pills per day in either 2 or 3 doses.3) The charcoal first helps with bloating and trapped gas removal. Then, because the gas and bloating are out of the way, the body can do some evacuation where the GI system is now moving again. Then, because you’ve removed the trapped gas and bloating and had some bowel movements, your GI system is calmer and more predictable.Suggestions:1) Use a good digestive enzyme in combination with the charcoal. The enzymes help to fully break down your food, and then if your body has any reaction to the food, the charcoal will help the reaction. Example: If you have a yeast infection and you eat sugary/starchy foods, the sugars from these will feed the candida. The charcoal will help capture the candida as well as the toxins from the die-off effect which will help keep the GI system calmer.2) You have to time the taking of the charcoal approximately 3 hours before and after you take other medications. Charcoal absorbs everything–medications, nutrients, etc. So, if you’re taking charcoal in larger doses long-term, you will need to monitor your medication usage even more, and when it comes to vitamins, you may need to double up on your vitamins.3) I’ve read some suggestions for candida treatment where they recommend huge amounts–like 25 grams per day. This would be a huge influx of charcoal, and if you take a lot of any product that binds, I think you could risk creating blockage. So, if you plan on taking larger doses daily, I highly recommend 1) slowly building up, and 2) taking the doses throughout the day. And, if you are taking larger doses daily, chances are there is something going on inside that you need to also focus on an elimination diet whereby you eliminate most trigger foods and slowly reintroduce one at a time to determine if a particular food or food group is causing the distress (ex.: dairy, gluten, lactose, eggs, etc).NOTES:1) This review is not intended to diagnose or treat anyone’s issues. If you are reading this and possibly realizing you may have an issue, I recommend you seek out a qualified licensed physician or nurse practitioner who can order proper tests. Before taking extreme measures, definitely have your stool examined for any and as many bacteria/parasites as possible as the over-processed American diet can lead to inflammation and provides a great host for all kinds of bugs!2) I first discovered charcoal as a treatment for diarrhea because I was tired of taking Immodium which seemed to make the issues worse. I would have several days of diarrhea, take the Immodium, and then I would be lucky if I had a bowel movement for five (5) days! I didn’t like the extreme opposite reactions. Also, as it was taking five days to have the next bowel movement, it seemed like I was getting more and more bloated and a bigger belly. Keeping waste in your body that long just seemed to make me feel worse.

飲んでみて、個人差はあると思いますが私は便通が良くなった気もしますしすっきり感もありました。飲まずに割って歯を磨く使い方もあるみたいですが私は歯のホワイトニングにはまだ試してません。梱包も商品の状態も綺麗で悪いところは今のところ見つかっていません買ってよかったです。なくなったらまたリピします。

the packaging was good, even the product!!Gives a great natural colour to your cosmetics.
