Activated charcoal aids campylobacteriosis
Disease-Alleviating Effects of Peroral Activated Charcoal Treatment in Acute Murine Campylobacteriosis.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effects of activated charcoal (AC) as a potential treatment for campylobacteriosis, a foodborne illness caused by the Campylobacter bacteria. In our study, we used microbiota-depleted IL-10 mice to understand how AC might influence the disease's progression. Mice were infected and then treated with either AC or a placebo starting on the second day of their infection.
Our observations showed that the mice receiving AC had significantly lower levels of the harmful bacteria in their intestines. Additionally, these mice experienced fewer clinical symptoms such as diarrhea and weight loss compared to those who received the placebo treatment.
Beyond just improving gut health, AC treatment also appeared to lessen inflammation in the intestines. We noted that this approach not only helped with local symptoms but also reduced inflammation in other parts of the body. Given these findings, activated charcoal demonstrates potential as a safe, non-antibiotic option to treat human campylobacteriosis effectively.

My first aid kit must include activated charcoal. After heavy meals by the sea, I definitely give it to children to prevent food poisoning.

Great product at a great price. We use this for my son's cystic acne. We break one capsule and apply as an exploratory once daily. This is one of the few things that has helped him manage his acne without resorting to chemical solutions. The product matches its description and arrived safely packaged.

Activated charcoal shows modest effectiveness
Charcoal tablets in the treatment of patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effectiveness of activated charcoal in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) through a well-structured clinical trial. This study was a double-blind, randomized, multicenter trial that involved 284 patients aged 19 to 70 years suffering from IBS. Participants were treated with either a commercial formulation of charcoal tablets known as Eucarbon or non-activated charcoal tablets (carbo ligni, CL) over 12 weeks.
After the treatment period, we found that Eucarbon provided a noticeable relief of symptoms, alleviating discomfort by about 60%. However, the difference in efficacy between Eucarbon and the CL group was just 9%. Notably, further analysis suggested that Eucarbon had a greater impact on certain subgroups, such as those experiencing constipation.
Both treatments were well tolerated with a comparable frequency of adverse events reported—22% for Eucarbon and 17% for CL—making it difficult to differentiate some side effects from IBS symptoms themselves. Overall, we concluded that Eucarbon is safe and effective for managing IBS, a condition often requiring prolonged treatment.

Quick symptom relief
Most Useful Review
A cure for IBS symptoms! It's a miracle worker. This can swiftly and safely reduce Irritable Bowel Syndrome discomfort. It's easy to swallow and leaves a detoxifying feeling after using the restroom. The price is reasonable, and it even helps with allergy or indigestion symptoms from food poisoning. However, the carbon can stain everything, including bags and hands, and requires you to drink plenty of water while taking it.

Activated charcoal alleviates bloating
Efficacy of activated charcoal in reducing intestinal gas: a double-blind clinical trial.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effectiveness of activated charcoal in alleviating bloating and reducing intestinal gas. By conducting a double-blind clinical trial with participants from the United States and India, we gathered insights from diverse dietary habits and gut flora environments. A total of 99 participants—30 from the U.S. and 69 from India—were involved in our study.
Using lactulose, a type of sugar, we measured breath hydrogen levels to assess gas production in the colon. The results were illuminating. When compared to a placebo, activated charcoal significantly reduced breath hydrogen levels in both groups, showing a clear impact on gas production.
Moreover, we noticed that symptoms commonly associated with gas, like bloating and abdominal cramps, were also significantly improved with activated charcoal in both populations. This suggests that activated charcoal may be an effective option for those seeking relief from the discomfort of bloating.

Effective for bloating
Most Useful Review
Charcoal tablets are essential in every home and travel bag. They effectively absorb toxins and help expel them from the body, especially after consuming contaminated food or feeling bloated. I recommend taking 5 to 10 capsules with water when experiencing gas, nausea, or any discomfort. Additionally, avoid using these tablets with regular medications, as they can hinder absorption. Surprisingly, they can also whiten teeth if used correctly.
