When and under what conditions should activated carbon be used?

✓ To filter water. Activated carbon is an excellent material for water filters because it absorbs toxins and other organic compounds from water rather than salts and minerals.

✓ To whiten teeth. Activated charcoal is now being added to many tooth whitening pastes.

✓ To treat bile depletion. There is some evidence that activated charcoal can treat a decrease in bile flow in late pregnancy, a liver disease called cholestasis.

✓ To lower the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Activated charcoal helps reduce the absorption of bile acids in the liver, which leads to increased breakdown of cholesterol.

✓ Eliminates digestive problems. Activated charcoal binds excess intestinal gases and removes them from the body.
