Taking Activated Charcoal and taking Probiotics

Taking Activated Charcoal and taking Probiotics…..

Probiotics Question:

Does activated charcoal absorb the good bacteria in your intestines? We take daily probiotics and are wondering if when we take AC if it is flushing out the good bacteria as well or if we need to double up on our probiotics when taking AC.  Thank you, Alisha

Answer:

Hello Alisha
Thank you for contacting us.

It is clear that activated charcoal does bind certain bacteria such as some E Coli, but in most cases it is the toxins the bacteria produce that is being adsorbed. Does it bind friendly bacteria? I cannot say positively yes or no. but enough research has been done to show that animals given activated charcoal on a daily basis have improved digestion, some live up to 34% longer, cows produce more milk, chickens more eggs…

My wife, Kimberly, takes probiotics at mealtimes and charcoal later in the day, and has not noticed any difference.coffee book 300x123 - Taking Activated Charcoal and taking Probiotics

But, there is evidence that charcoal and dairy products do compete with each other as far as adsorption of toxins is concerned, when taken at the same time. So the rule is to take them at least 2 hours apart. I do not see any advantage in doubling your intake.

I think that covers your question as I see it.

  1. Hi Mary.

    Would you please share a little more about taking the charcoal capsules?

    How many capsules are you taking? Are you taking them right before and right after you eat, or say an hour before and after?

    Do you ever take them before and after you eat? Any other times during the day?

    Your answers will help me answer your question hopefully better.

    Thank you!

  2. Hi! I have suffered with dietary issues most of my life. I know the fruits and veggies that wreck me and I avoid them. Lately I am a gassy mess no matter what so I started taking the charcoal capsules. I have taken them both ways prior to eating and after eating. I feel like I am now gassier. Is this possible? I am drinking plenty of water. I need help with this. Am I doing something wrong? Any advice is appreciated.
