Charcoal is naturally active and adsorbent and has a long history of use as a filter, as an adsorbent, and as an antidote to poisons. Historical records of its use in these areas and others go far back into history as early as 1500 BC in Egypt.

Hippocrates, circa 400 BC and then Pliny, AD 50 recorded the use of charcoal in a wide range of applications, and the principal use appears to have been to adsorb unpleasant odours, and gas/smells from within the intestinal tract. Happy Tummy ™ Charcoal is made from hardwoods (sustainably sourced) and is naturally ‘active’ and adsorbent. It is not ‘activated’ and is the type of charcoal we and other mammals have evolved with over the years. Its long legacy and history of safe and benign use stands witness to its efficacy.

Happy Tummy™ Charcoal does not take out vitamins and minerals from our system. References which allude to this concern are from the regular use of 'activated' charcoal, which has super absorbent properties. In fact, experience has shown that because it re-balances the system, Happy Tummy Charcoal actually facilitates the uptake of nutrients.

Happy Tummy™ Charcoal capsules may help considerably with many tummy and dietary issues. This isn’t all that surprising really when you think that charcoal has been used throughout history to settle the stomach.
