A member asked:

Is it safe to take activated charcoal supplements every day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

WHY???: Hi. And why, pray tell, would you want to take activated charcoal everyday? Believe me, that has NOT been studied for safety! Activated charcoal is useful in some poisonings/overdoses because it binds a lot of things tightly and non-specifically. Much of what goes in your mouth is for nutritive purposes, including many trace substances. If you bind and don't absorb them, you become deficient.
