Health Benefits of Charcoal Tablets & Capsules
Activated charcoal is taken to provide relief from a wide variety of digestive conditions and our customers regularly report benefits when used for both short term disorders, such as upset stomachs and longstanding health problems such as colitis and IBS.
Preventing and treating upset stomachs
We always recommend packing Bragg’s charcoal tablets and capsules when travelling. Many of our customers take charcoal tablets and capsules for the duration of their overseas trip to prevent upset stomachs, others prefer to have it there just in case they fall ill. Charcoal can help by absorbing substances from the intestine and carrying them through the body, thus relieving symptoms.

Relief from indigestion, wind, heartburn and dyspepsia
Bragg’s charcoal tablets provide 100% natural relief for indigestion, wind and heartburn. Their ability to absorb gases means they are also useful in alleviating the symptoms of dyspepsia and other digestive problems, easing chronic and recurrent abdominal discomfort which can often be accompanied by belching and nausea.
What makes Bragg’s charcoal tablets & capsules different?
We use a highly refined medical grade of activated charcoal in our products, this is totally different to natural charcoal which may be harmful.
JL Braggs is the only registered company in the UK permitted to supply activated charcoal as a licensed pharmaceutical in the UK. There are many copies but only one original.
The charcoal used for medical applications is highly refined and purified to remove the harmful substances that are found in other natural grades of charcoal, which are not activated or highly refined.
Activated charcoal is produced by heating charcoal to high temperatures (800 - 1000 degrees centigrade), a process that alters the structure of the charcoal producing a honeycomb structure, which has a huge surface area - 1g of activated charcoal may have an area of over 1000 square metres.
JL Bragg only uses activated charcoal produced from coconuts. The structure of activated charcoal produced from coconuts is unique and works in harmony with our bodies, whereas other forms of charcoal do not have the same health benefits.
Activated charcoal does not absorb any nutrients, minerals or vitamins as these substances are either too large or do not bond with activated charcoal.
Don't just take our word for it. Read testimonials from just a small selection of our happy customers who have felt the benefits from taking J.L Bragg's Medicinal Charcoal.
