What does activated charcoal do for your body? Activated charcoal is used to treat poisonings, reduce intestinal gas (flatulence), lower cholesterol levels, prevent hangover, and treat bile flow problems (cholestasis) during pregnancy Activated charcoal is sometimes used to help treat a drug overdose or a poisoning. When you take activated charcoal, drugs and toxins can bind to it. This helps rid the body of unwanted substances. Charcoal is made from coal, wood, or other substances. What it DOESN'T do is remove or bind to toxins INSIDE the body that isn't actively in the digestive system. You need movers and shakers before you use the takers…. Pretty neat, huh?
