How much activated carbon to take?

What is the right way and in what quantity to take activated charcoal to cleanse the body? The speed and power of the therapeutic effect depends on the amount of substance used. In different situations, their dosages are provided.
Most often, the drug is found in tablet form. But some people prefer to take it diluted. Between the meal and the direct use of the product, at least two hours must pass. The standard dosage for an adult is 100-200 mg per kilogram of live body weight. You do not need to drink all the prepared tablets at one time. We divide their number into three parts.
    The duration of the treatment depends on how effectively the charcoal works in a particular situation. In most cases, it is enough to drink tablets or powder for 2 days - 2 weeks. But if necessary, you can take a break and continue taking the drug.
    In case of acute poisoning, it is advisable to drink activated charcoal already dissolved. After that, we continue the therapy, for three days using 4-5 tablets as relief of the "remnants" of intoxication.
    Increased gassing can also be cured with activated carbon. To do this, the drug is prescribed 1-2 grams every 4 hours. The dosage, depending on the complexity of the problem and the patient's body weight, may vary. The duration of therapy in this case is about a week.
    There are many pathological states of the body, which are accompanied by the processes of decay in the digestive tract. The therapy involves 10-15 days of using activated carbon. The optimal dosage for an adult is 10 grams, and for children under 14 years old - 5 grams. You need to take the drug three times a day.
    Interesting fact. Charcoal is absolutely safe. However, in some cases, side effects may occur, manifested by constipation, diarrhea, or impaired absorption of certain nutrients. This happens with prolonged use of pills.


The use of activated charcoal for weight loss

Many women use charcoal to lose those extra pounds. And the drug acts as a quick method. High-calorie foods clog the body, slow down metabolism, which invariably leads to weight gain.
At the same time, charcoal helps in losing weight, and also has an additional positive effect:
    It removes toxins and toxins from the intestines that have accumulated when eating harmful food.
    Restores natural, healthy intestinal microflora.
    Accelerates metabolism.
    Boosts immunity.
    Improves health in case of various allergic reactions.
    Reduces intoxication in case of food and alcohol poisoning.
    Effectively fights edema.
    Improves performance.
    Prevents the occurrence of acne.
Charcoal, like a real filter, absorbs all harmful substances. And after about a day it is excreted unchanged from the body.
What is the mechanism of losing weight? Black pills do not provide fat burning. Efficiency is associated with the rapid elimination of toxins, toxins and accumulated water in a natural way. Thus, the problem of excess weight is well solved (and if you reinforce the process with training, the result is even better). First of all, the waist and abdomen return to normal. Then other parts of the body also noticeably decrease in volume.
    Interesting fact. Activated charcoal for weight loss is recommended for people with weakened immunity. As a rule, these are patients with digestive disorders, flatulence and other negative manifestations.

It is prepared simply: a few tablets are crushed and combined with gelatin, water is added and kept in a water bath until a homogeneous consistency is formed. Apply the heat evenly to the face and leave it on for 15 minutes. We remove with one movement of the hand, like a film.
    Comprehensive rejuvenation. Every morning we wipe our face with ice cubes with crushed charcoal tablets. With regular repetition of the procedure, the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized. Also, some cosmetologists recommend making a mask based on clay or dairy products.
