Health Benefits

 

Charcoal derives its medicinal capabilities though its exceptional powers of absorption, and it is these absorption powers that give JL Bragg’s Medicinal Charcoal Tablets their digestive benefits. Activated charcoal is a highly effective natural adsorbent of gases and toxins in the medicinal treatment of indigestion, wind and heartburn.

 

One of the benefits of taking JL Bragg’s Medicinal Charcoal as opposed to other digestive products is that because it is not a drug, it has no direct action on any organ of the body. It does not enter the blood stream nor is the charcoal itself adsorbed into your body. All of it passes out of your system along with the toxins and gases it has collected on its journey.

Charcoal was used for medical purposes as early as 1550 BC by the Ancient Egyptians. However, it wasn’t until the latter part of the 18th century that the adsorbent properties of medicinal charcoal were scientifically studied and it became possible to prepare it in a pure state, primarily as an antidote to poisoning.

 

Activated charcoal also has many uses, it is used in wound dressings,   water purification systems , in air conditioning systems to remove odours, gas masks and numerous other applications.

 

Carbon is the most abundant element on earth. The most common forms of carbon are coal, coconut shell, wood, peat and lignite.   

 

The charcoal used in JL Bragg’s Medicinal Tablets is made from coconut shells. It is thus sustainable in food and ecosystem terms, as no trees are damaged in the process and the husks are not a food-source.

 

The charcoal used in JL Bragg’s Medicinal Charcoal Tablets undergoes a process called activation. This is achieved by firstly burning the shells in the absence of air and then placing the carbonised shells in a kiln full of super heated steam at a temperature above 800ºC for between 12-24 hours. The steam opens up the pores of the charcoal and thereby enlarges them. It is this process of activation that creates an enormous internal surface area which makes the charcoal such an effective adsorbent; just a teaspoonful of carbon powder has a surface area the size of a football pitch!

 

The activated charcoal powder then undergoes laboratory tests to pass the British Pharmaceutical Codex standard 1934. The tests regulate the purity of the charcoal and its use in the Pharmaceutical industry as a medicine.

 

Key Health Benefits

 

JL Bragg’s Medicinal Charcoal products provide 100% natural relief for indigestion, wind and heartburn, as the large interior surface area of activated charcoal is able to absorb gases in the digestive system. As foods are broken down by our bodies, this process naturally produces gas which may lead to discomfort and embarrassment.   JL Bragg’s Medicinal Charcoal can help to absorb these gases, reducing discomfort and feelings of bloatyness.   As well as being 100% natural, Medicinal Charcoal is not absorbed into the body in any way, and all the gases and toxins that it absorbs are excreted from the body without discomfort.   It may also help to reduce cholesterol.

 

JL Bragg’s Medicinal Charcoal can also be taken during pregnancy and lactation, unlike many other products which deal with indigestion.

 

 

Activated Charcoal can also be used to combat the effects of leaking Mercury in tooth fillings.   It is widely recommended that Activated Charcoal should be   taken prior to and immediately after the removal of Mercury fillings, during the removal process it is difficult to capture all the mercury amalgam removed, taking activated charcoal helps to remove any residual mercury emitted by the Mercury.
