Natural Factors Activated Charcoal - A premium formula for alleviating the symptoms of excess gas. It is formulated for use after meals to relieve bloating, pressure, pain, fullness, and stuffed feeling due to gas. Charcoal has been used in emergency medicine for hundreds of years and has more recently been recognized for a wider range of benefits. Activated charcoal is a highly porous form of charcoal that has a natural tendency for capturing toxins and other difficult-to-digest compounds. It passes through the gastrointestinal tract undigested, effectively binding to the gas produced during digestion and preventing it from causing uncomfortable gas. Natural Factors Activated Charcoal is enclosed within a unique softgel casing, making it convenient and much easier to swallow than regular chalky formats.
