Activated charcoal is used in many hospitals not only to treat food poisoning but also to remove toxic levels of ingested drugs. It displays a high capacity to filter out harmful substances from the foods we eat, and thus prevents their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Also known as activated carbon, it is actually a form of elemental carbon obtained from natural materials such as nutshells, peat, wood, coal, all of which are processed to make a product with many void spaces, making it very porous. Its porosity allows it to adhere to various chemical compounds, and it has a high degree of surface area up to a tenth the size of a football field, attracting large quantities of toxins out of the human body.
Food poisoning is what we refer to conditions characterized by vomiting, fever, rashes, and related symptoms brought about by ingestion of foods that have been contaminated with harmful microbes and viruses or poisonous chemical compounds. It can occur anywhere especially in places with poor sanitary conditions, and, of late, quite often in restaurants. More than 20 people in a population of a hundred are reported to contract food-borne illnesses every year in the US alone.
Removes Toxins Related to Acute Poisoning
Activated charcoal works best against toxins right after ingestion, and thus intake of oral applications as soon as you feel the symptoms will significantly reduce all the harmful effects associated with the toxin. However, there are factors that may arise as a consequence to consumptions of activated charcoal. It is of utmost importance to call emergency services, like poison control center, and ask for dosage information especially if you are not fully aware of recommended administrations.
It can be purchased over the counter, and come in forms just like other medications, in pills, liquid, or suspension. Whatever the form is, take note to drink lots of water to facilitate fast removal of toxins. Most of the time, over-the-counter activated carbon products contain a substance called sorbitol, or glucitol, which is a sugar alcohol responsible for accelerating the evacuation of bowels. That being said, you should choose other forms of activated charcoal if you know you are allergic to sorbitol as it is known to cause adverse effects.
Interferes with Digestion and Absorption
All forms of activated charcoal have been reported to interrupt the process of digestion and the consequent absorption of digested food products. This results, of course, in avoiding the passage of toxins through the gastrointestinal walls and into the bloodstream. However, this may also give rise to digestive problems, either diarrhea or constipation. The former is often associated with products having sorbitol and the latter with not enough water, which helps ease movement of food products.
While the use of activated charcoal is in fact a routine treatment of choice in emergency rooms, be sure you observe extra caution in following recommended dosages. If you don�t know what you are doing, it is just prudent to seek professional help to avoid complications.
Activated charcoal is available in capsule form at your local or internet vitamin store. Always choose name brands like Solaray to ensure quality of what you buy for better health.
