Food poisoning. can taking charcoal/ ultracarbon help to absorb toxins and virus? should i take it for a few days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not useful: Activated charcoal can absorb some chemicals but it is not issue for self treatment. What toxin do you have in mind? It will not absorb viruses.
