Activated charcoal is a fine black powder made from materials such as coconut shells or wood, and it is known for its adsorptive properties. Here are some potential benefits of activated charcoal consumption for men.Poison and drug overdose treatment: Activated charcoal is commonly used in emergency situations to treat poisonings and drug overdoses, as it can adsorb toxic substances and prevent them from being absorbed by the body (Chyka & Seger, 2005).Chyka, P. A., & Seger, D. (2005). Position paper: Single-dose activated charcoal. Clinical Toxicology, 43(2), 61-87.Alleviation of gas and bloating: Activated charcoal may help reduce gas and bloating by adsorbing gas-causing substances in the digestive system (Di Stefano et al., 2000).Di Stefano, M., Strocchi, A., Malservisi, S., Veneto, G., Ferrieri, A., & Corazza, G. R. (2000). Non-absorbable antibiotics for managing intestinal gas production and gas-related symptoms. Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 14(8), 1001-1008.Kidney health support: Some studies suggest that activated charcoal may help reduce waste products in patients with chronic kidney disease, potentially supporting kidney function (Musso et al., 2013).Musso, C. G., Michelángelo, H., Vilas, M., Reynaldi, J., Martinez, B., Algranati, L., ... & Imperiali, N. (2013). Effects of activated charcoal on patients with uremic pruritus.
