Alpha01 Organic Charcoal 2000mg 90 Capsules

Jet black, ultra-fine and remarkably porous, activated charcoal is one of the more unusual ingredients you will find in the supplement aisle. Alpha01 Organic Charcoal Capsules use activated charcoal made from organic coconut shells, sealed in vegan capsules so you can take it cleanly and conveniently without the mess of loose powder.

What Is Activated Charcoal?

Activated charcoal is made by heating carbon-rich materials, such as coconut shells, to very high temperatures and then treating them to create a vast network of tiny pores. This process gives the charcoal an enormous internal surface area. Coconut shells are a popular, renewable source because they produce a dense, high-quality charcoal, and Alpha01 uses shells from certified organic coconuts.

An Authorised Claim

Activated charcoal contributes to reducing excessive flatulence after eating. The beneficial effect is obtained with 1g taken at least 30 minutes before and 1g shortly after the meal. Each three-capsule serving of Alpha01 Organic Charcoal provides 1,000mg of activated charcoal, so taking one serving before and one serving after a meal provides 2,000mg in total, matching the conditions of this authorised health claim.

How to Take It

Take three capsules with water at least 30 minutes before a meal, then another three capsules shortly after the meal. Use as needed, up to one meal per day. For best results, many people choose a main meal that typically leaves them feeling uncomfortable. Because activated charcoal binds to many substances, it should always be taken well apart from medicines and other supplements.

Organic and Vegan

The formula contains just two ingredients: activated charcoal from organic coconut shells and a plant-derived hypromellose capsule shell. It carries the EU organic leaf logo and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, with no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or fillers.

Quality and Testing

Alpha01 is a UK supplement brand whose products are made in the EU to GMP food safety standards using non-GMO ingredients. Each batch is tested for heavy metals and microbial contaminants, with reports made available by the brand. The capsules are packed in a resealable, recyclable pouch that keeps them dry and uses less plastic than a rigid tub.

How Long Will a Pouch Last?

Each pouch contains 90 vegan capsules, giving 30 servings of three capsules. Because a full meal routine uses two servings, one before and one after eating, a pouch covers 15 meals. It is designed for occasional use rather than every day, so a single pouch can last a good while.

Good to Know

Activated charcoal can temporarily darken your stools, which is completely normal and harmless. Drink plenty of water when using this product. Store the pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and reseal after use. Food supplements should be used as part of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
