Széntabletták

Szőntabletták, also known as charcoal tablets, are a type of dietary supplement derived from activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is a porous form of carbon that has been processed to increase its surface area, making it highly adsorbent. This means it can bind to various substances in the digestive tract.

Historically, charcoal has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. In modern times, it is most commonly found in tablet or capsule form and is often taken for digestive issues. The primary proposed mechanism of action for széntabletták is their ability to adsorb gases and toxins within the stomach and intestines. This adsorption is thought to help alleviate symptoms such as bloating, gas, and indigestion.

When ingested, széntabletták are not absorbed into the bloodstream. Instead, they pass through the digestive system largely unchanged. The charcoal binds to certain substances, which are then eliminated from the body in the feces. Due to this binding property, it is generally advised to take széntabletták at a different time than other medications or supplements, as they may interfere with the absorption of those substances.

Széntabletták are available over-the-counter in many countries. While generally considered safe for short-term use, potential side effects can include constipation or black stools. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
