Nature’s Way Activated Charcoal, Binds Unwanted Materials and Gas in the Digestive Tract*, 560 mg per 2-Capsule Serving, 100 Capsules (Packaging May Vary)

Easy-open, very finely ground Charcoal is a quality choice for your emergency supplies.
The fine texture for maximum surface area, together with the tamper-proof and still frustration-free packaging make this one a winner. There are certain items that belong in first aid kits. This is one of them. In cases of accidental ingestion of a toxin, the poison control center will either direct you to encourage vomiting (that would require a different product) or to prevent it if doing so is likely to damage the esophagus, etc., on the way out. Sometimes Charcoal is the best option: Disclaimer: I am not an MD. In the event of poisoning contact the poison control center and provide info regarding what and how much has been ingested. If I could not do that for some reason, then I would ask a PharmD (pharmacist with a doctoral degree) if it was involving prescription medication(s). Nature’s Way Charcoal Activated arrives in a plastic container that is well-suited to protect the contents. The shrink wrap around the cap and top prevent tampering. It is the best kind available- it is printed so that persons with lower vision will be aware of it, and it has perforations for you to open it like a pull strip once you find those, so there is no need for scissors. Screw open the cap to remove it from the bottle. Underneath the cap there is a second layer of protection- a solid seal that appears to be printed only on 1/2. The printed side will easily lift up and make it easy for you to remove the seal from the bottle. Replace the cap onto the bottle. Note that if there is an emergency and you need to quickly obtain many capsules, there is always the option to unscrew the cap. Otherwise, the flip top will help you to control how many of these capsules (made of gelatin) will come out at a time. The flip top is one of the nice ones that provides a ridge to pop it up so that you do not need to struggle or break a nail on it, and if you only have the use of one hand, then you will still be able to do so. After opening the product, I compared the size of the capsule to the picture on the label. The picture was an accurate representation. Next, I opened up a capsule to view the quality. This charcoal is extremely finely ground into a powder. This is of tremendous benefit as with much more surface area than a course grind, it will work as well as charcoal can to absorb impurities or toxins. I tried to show this by rubbing some on the paper towel, so if you look for the smudged area, that is where you can see that it is very fine powder. It is the same throughout (no chunks) just difficult to show that in a photo. 🙂 (Please do not take supplements without discussing it first with your primary heath provider, and follow the directions of a qualified provider). Charcoal is a treatment that doesn’t target only what you are trying to eliminate; it will absorb everything, meaning, “the good and the bad.” It is not something to take regularly; it’s for an “as-needed” basis. The quantity contained in the jar was as advertised. This product arrived in a padded envelope that was adequate for the shipping. I have included a picture with the dimensions so that you can take into consideration your ability to accept the product in your postal slot. These dimensions are for the single object, and the minimal size that you could expect to be delivered, only included because many mail slots would not accept this. To keep this product fresh, keep it tightly closed and stored in a cool, dry area. If your intent is to keep this in a first aid kit in a vehicle, then you may run into difficulty with capsules sticking together because of the high temperatures that can be reached in closed vehicles. The photos below may be helpful. If any of this has been helpful to you, it would be great if you could indicate that this was a helpful review.

Very impressed and would buy again!
Okay, so I bought this product because I wanted to try out whether it really whitens teeth, and because the add-on price is much cheaper than the store price. I drink tea and/or coffee daily, and don’t go to the dentist that often (if ever), so my teeth are not as nice looking as I want them to be. Before I started brushing with the charcoal, I also had an obvious tannin stain on my bottom incisor that actually had an outline.After one week of brushing my teeth with the charcoal everyday, that stain is nearly gone. The rest of my teeth are also gradually getting whiter as well. I am so pleased with these results, especially because that STAIN IS GONE! I’ll continue using it everyday for at least another week before having a routine of maybe once a week. My routine is: I break one capsule into a small cup, wet a toothbrush with water, and then dip it into the cup. I get about 3-4 dips, which is more than enough, and then brush my teeth for about 5 minutes while dipping every minute or so. I then follow up with brushing with regular toothpaste. It does make a mess in the sink while you brush, but just wipe it down afterwards.Additionally, I know charcoal is also used for facial masks. I have pretty terrible skin with adult acne on my jawline that just won’t go away despite taking prescription medications. Because there’s quite a bit of product in the capsules, I started mixing the tiniest bit into a thin mud masque I had bought but stored away because it was mediocre. I mix it into a dark paste, apply it, and keep it on while brushing my teeth with the charcoal. I’ve done this maybe twice so far, and I’ve noticed that my skin has calmed down quite a bit. This result has made me hopeful, so I’ll continue mixing the charcoal into the masque and see how this works out as well.

My usual item in my first aid kit. Take double dose if you ate something wrong to prevent food poisoning.

一日一個飲むと丁度良かった。間違えて一日二個飲むと下痢になるので注意。炭は消臭効果もあるのでトイレで出す時に匂いが気にならない副産物もありました。
