Medicinal Activated Carbon

Medicinal Activated Carbon

Medicinal activated carbon, use food grade vegetable-based activated carbons as raw material and are produced by an advanced treatment to guarantee its purity and other application requirements especially for injection area. Activated charcoal, or activated carbon, is a fine black powder. It is a porous material, meaning there are empty spaces or pores within the substance. These pores trap other chemicals and substances when ingested orally.

What is Medicinal Activated Carbon

 

 

Medicinal activated carbon, use food grade vegetable-based activated carbons as raw material and are produced by an advanced treatment to guarantee its purity and other application requirements especially for injection area. Activated charcoal, or activated carbon, is a fine black powder. It is a porous material, meaning there are empty spaces or pores within the substance.

Benefits of Medicinal Activated Carbon

Trimethylaminuria

Patients with trimethylaminuria (a genetic condition characterized by the fishy smell of urine, sweat, and breath) can benefit from the use of activated carbon. The accumulation of odorous trimethylamine can be reduced by adsorption with activated carbon after systematic multiple dosing regimens. Additionally, activated carbon also finds its use in the alleviation of gas and bloating after consumption of gas-producing meals.

Cholesterol Levels

Scientists also found activated carbon to be helpful in reducing cholesterol levels across several clinical studies. Bile acids and high-fat content from food were adsorbed on the surface of activated carbon in the gut. This, in turn, reduced the absorption of fat from the gut.

 

 

Water Filtration

The traditional application of activated carbon as a water cleanser is still relevant today. Fluoride and other heavy metals are effectively removed with the help of activated carbon filters.

 

 

Teeth Whitening

Brushing the teeth with activated carbon power twice a week can help whitening the teeth stained from long-term consumption of tea, coffee, or wine. Activated carbon is also claimed to be effective in treating skin ailments such as acne, and also in treating snake bites, albeit the reliability of these claims is not well-documented clinically.

 

How does Medicinal Activated Carbon work?
 
 

Activating carbon with gas at high temperatures causes it to develop microscopic holes, which increase its surface area. Activated charcoal doesn't get absorbed by your gut. Thus, after you swallow it, it reaches your gut in its unchanged form.

 

The Activating carbon porous texture has a negative electrical charge, which causes it to attract positively charged molecules, such as toxins and gases. When liquids or gases pass through this activated carbon, they bind to it through a process known as adsorption.

 

These toxins and chemicals get trapped in your gut and eliminated through stool instead of being absorbed into your body. Activated carbon is also very effective at adsorbing gases, which can help reduce flatulence.

Is Medicinal Activated Carbon Safe?

Activated carbon is generally considered safe when taken orally or used on the skin. However, some risks are associated with the substance if you have preexisting ailments or conditions. For example, using activated carbon may not be a good fit for people who have an intestinal blockage. Activated carbon can be safe if you are pregnant, but you should avoid using it until you speak to your healthcare provider.

 

How Is Medicinal Activated Carbon Made?

 

 

Activated carbon is a carbon-based material that has been processed to maximize its adsorptive properties, yielding a superior adsorbent material. Activated carbon boasts an impressive pore structure that causes it to have a very high surface area on which to capture and hold materials, and can be produced from a number of carbon-rich organic materials, including: Coconut shells, wood, coal, peat, and more.

 

Activated carbon is produced through two main processes: carbonization and activation:
Carbonization
During carbonization, the raw material is thermally decomposed in an inert environment, at temperatures below 800 ºC. Through gasification, elements such as oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur, are removed from the source material.


Activation
The carbonized material, or char, must now be activated to fully develop the pore structure. This is done through oxidizing the char at temperatures between 800-900 ºC in the presence of air, carbon dioxide, or steam.

 

What is the Recommended Dosage of Medicinal Activated Carbon?
 

Activated carbon should be taken orally, and is typically found in pills of 250 mg. The normal recommended dose is a maximum of 4 to 6 pills per day, divided into 2 doses to be taken in between meals. The maximum dose for adults is 6 pills per day.

 

Dosing for children over 2 is half of what is recommended for adults: 2 to 3 pills per day, divided into 2 doses. The maximum dose for children is 3 pills per day.

 

To prevent a hangover, adults can take 1 g of activated charcoal before consuming alcohol, and 1 g after consumption.

 

Pills should not be mixed with saline, but they can be taken with water or fruit juice.

 

In cases of chemical poisoning and the person is not conscious, activated carbon is used with gastric suctioning in a hospital setting. The dose required is calculated by the doctor using the patient's body weight.

 

What is the Difference Between Medical Activated Carbon and Ordinary Activated Carbon?

 

 

Medical activated carbon and ordinary activated carbon differ primarily in their intended applications and purity standards. Medical activated carbon, often used in healthcare settings, is specifically processed and certified for safety and efficacy in medical treatments. It is designed to adsorb toxins and harmful substances from the body, making it suitable for applications such as drug overdose treatments and gastrointestinal decontamination. This type typically undergoes rigorous testing to meet stringent regulatory standards.

 

In contrast, ordinary activated carbon is used for a wide range of industrial and environmental applications, such as water purification, air filtration, and odor removal. While it also possesses adsorptive properties, it may not meet the same safety or purity standards as medical-grade activated carbon. As a result, it may contain impurities or residual chemicals that could be harmful if ingested or used in a medical context.

 

How Long Does it Take for Medical Activated Carbon to Work Against Poisoning?

 

Some studies show it can remove toxins from your system within half an hour. But once your stomach or intestines absorb toxic chemicals, activated carbon can't remove them. So to prevent poisoning, you'll need to take activated carbon as soon as possible (within the first 1-4 hours of exposure). Health professionals use activated carbon powder mixed with a liquid to treat poisoning. Your doctor may tell you to drink the solution or give it to you through a tube that goes into your stomach via your nose or mouth.

 

What Toxins can Medical Activated Carbon Remove?
 

Medical activated carbon is effective in removing a variety of toxins, including:

Drugs and Pharmaceuticals

Such as acetaminophen, barbiturates, and other medications.

Heavy Metals

Lead, mercury, and cadmium can be adsorbed by activated carbon.

Pesticides

Various organic pesticides and herbicides.

Industrial Chemicals

Solvents, phenols, and other harmful chemicals.

Gases

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and certain gases like carbon monoxide.

Food Contaminants

Mycotoxins and other foodborne toxins.

 

Precautions for Using Medicinal Activated Carbon

Hydration

Drink plenty of water when taking activated carbon to help prevent dehydration and support its binding action in the digestive system.

 

Timing with Other Medications

Take activated carbon at least two hours before or after other medications to avoid interference with their absorption.

 

Monitor for Side Effects

Be aware of potential side effects such as constipation, diarrhea, or nausea. If any severe reactions occur, seek medical attention.

Storage

Keep activated carbon in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight, to maintain its effectiveness.

Gastrointestinal (GI) blockage or slow movement of food through the intestine

Don't use activated carbon if you have any kind of intestinal blockage. Also, if you have a condition that slows the passage of food through the intestine, speak with a healthcare professional before using activated carbon.

Avoid Flavored Varieties

If using activated carbon for medicinal purposes, avoid products with added flavors or sweeteners, which may affect efficacy.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What other drugs will affect medicinal activated carbon?
