Activated bamboo charcoal is a fine, odorless powder produced through a specialized activation process that creates millions of microscopic pores. Because the body does not absorb charcoal itself, it passes through the digestive tract and is naturally eliminated after binding to certain unwanted substances.

Unlike traditional charcoal made from coconut shells or wood, Dr. Tennant's® bamboo activated charcoal is sourced from mature, carbon-rich bamboo.

This renewable source creates a high-quality bamboo charcoal product with a naturally large surface area while producing fewer pollutants during manufacturing.

During activation, the bamboo is heated to extremely high temperatures, creating millions of microscopic pores that increase its binding capacity.

Just three capsules provide an estimated surface area comparable to an entire football field, maximizing the available binding surface.

Take 2-3 capsules once daily, at least 30 minutes before or two hours after meals, medications, or other dietary supplements.

For best results:

• Take with a full glass of water.
• Do not take at the same time as medications or other supplements.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or managing a medical condition.

What benefits does Activated Bamboo Charcoal offer for detox and digestive health?

Activated Bamboo Charcoal, specifically Dr. Tennant’s® Activated Bamboo Charcoal, promotes internal cleansing and supports a healthy digestive system. Acting like a sponge with millions of tiny pores, it attracts and traps toxins and impurities as it moves through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, effectively detoxifying the body.

How does Activated Bamboo Charcoal work?

Activated Bamboo Charcoal has numerous tiny pores that bind to toxins and impurities, pulling them out as it travels through the GI tract. It offers a substantial surface area, comparable to an entire football field, to effectively detoxify and cleanse the body.

What are the contents of Dr. Tennant's® Activated Bamboo Charcoal?

Dr. Tennant's® Activated Bamboo Charcoal is a fine, odorless, black powder composed of activated charcoal. This fine powder is renowned for its toxin-absorbing properties and is commonly used in emergency rooms to treat overdoses. The body doesn't absorb charcoal, allowing it to eliminate bound toxins as it passes through the GI tract.

What sets Dr. Tennant's® Activated Bamboo Charcoal apart?

This unique form of activated charcoal is derived from bamboo that has matured for many years, offering a higher-quality carbon-rich raw material compared to standard coconut or wood charcoal. Additionally, bamboo charcoal production generates fewer pollutants, making it an environmentally-friendly choice. The superheating activation process of bamboo charcoal creates numerous tiny pores and binding sites, resulting in a larger surface area for effective binding and detoxification.

How should I consume Dr. Tennant's® Activated Bamboo Charcoal for optimal results?

To ensure maximum effectiveness, avoid taking charcoal alongside supplements or medications. Space out your supplement intake by at least an hour and your medications by a few hours to prevent charcoal from binding to them. Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as charcoal absorbs water and helps regulate bowel movements. Incorporating fiber-rich foods in your diet aids the movement of charcoal through the intestines for elimination. You can also download our Activated Bamboo User Guide for full instructions.
