"White coal": efficiency and differences from activated

The drug belongs to dietary supplements. It is prescribed for diseases associated with the ingestion of toxic substances, pathogenic bacterial agents, as well as to improve the function of the gastrointestinal tract. Despite the fact that this is a dietary supplement, many doctors recommend White Coal, because the effectiveness of the drug is confirmed by clinical studies. Experts attribute White Coal to a new generation of sorbents that not only act quickly, but also do not cause side effects.

Features of the drug

Many are inclined to believe that “White Coal” is the result of the clarification of ordinary activated carbon. In fact, the compositions of the drugs have nothing in common. "White coal" consists of:

• silica;
• fine crystalline cellulose (MCC);
• powdered sugar;
• potato starch.

The main adsorbent of "White coal" is a synthetic substance. The contents of the dosage form instantly breaks down into powder when ingested.

Operating principle

Silicon dioxide used in the production of "White Coal" is produced by a special technology of a German pharmaceutical company, and therefore has a number of features:

• particle size - does not exceed 10 nm;
• particle shape - each particle has a spherical shape, so the adsorption capacity of the drug is realized within ten minutes after administration;
• high dispersion - thanks to this, the drug eliminates any toxins of both endogenous and exogenous origin.

Along with substances of a chemical nature, “White Coal” attracts and delays the breakdown products of microorganisms, their toxins, which are often allergens.
The presence of fine crystalline cellulose provides enhanced absorption to absorb harmful particles. Useful properties of "White coal"
also due to the fact that it does not absorb:

• amino acids;
• vitamins;
• minerals;
• water.

Indications

Due to these unique properties, the drug is widely used. In particular, it is recommended in the following pathological conditions.

• Poisoning. "White coal" can be used for poisoning with alcohol, mushrooms, drugs. It is also effective against a hangover.
• Intestinal infections. As a result of the use of low-quality or expired products, a person can become infected with salmonellosis, dysentery, and other intestinal toxic infections. The drug, along with toxins, adsorbs bacteria, quickly eliminating the symptoms of poisoning (diarrhea, vomiting, nausea).
• Helminthic infestations. Defeat with helminths provokes general intoxication of the human body with the products of their vital functions.The additional burden on detoxifying organs (liver and kidneys) is exerted by the use of drugs, as well as the accumulation of helminth toxins as a result of their mass death. The drug cleanses not only the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), but also blood and lymph, indirectly reduces the load on the liver and kidneys.
• Digestive disorders. Regardless of their genesis, the drug eliminates the processes of decay and fermentation in the intestine, stopping flatulence. Also, the tool promotes the advancement of the food lump in the digestive tract. "White coal" quickly eliminates diarrhea provoked by malabsorption in the intestines.
• Lack of liver function. With cirrhosis, as well as with hepatitis, the liver is not able to independently cope with the task of neutralizing toxins. The drug in this case reduces the load on it. He also binds compounds that are usually excreted by the kidneys, which is very appropriate for renal failure.

The drug is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of allergies. It neutralizes allergens that enter the body with food. Cleansing the intestines from toxic substances also helps cleanse the skin. Indirect activity with respect to fat-containing compounds, as well as stimulation of intestinal motility allow the use of "White coal" for weight loss. In this case, there are no unpleasant phenomena accompanying the intake of activated carbon (a feeling of heaviness, fluid retention, constipation).
