Does the charcoal only works with toxins in food on the day you eat it or is it also effective on residual toxins?

We contacted Natures Way and were told it usually is absorbed into the stomach as soon as it is takenIt would not have residual toxinsHouse of Nutrition

I am not a medical doctor, but what I understand is that it only works for the time it is in your gastrointestinal system. It absorbs the toxin and is defecated.

The science has not proved one way or the other about the effectiveness on residual toxins. However, I would assume that it would work on residual toxins if they are in your gastrointestinal system. I take them after I exercise since when you burn fat toxins are released.

The filters usually last about one week. The last filters that I bought did not last two days. Lots of charcoal floating around when they were burped. I have never had to do this before. Not happy about this.

Not for certain. If it removes (and I know for a fact it does) a musty smell I would imagine so because of the charcoal.

no problem, it says, product is only toxic to fish (don't spray in tank); I successfully got rid of moths, I recommend it; I used it indoors because that's were my moth infested carpets were; and I am still alive, did not get sick, did not use a mask - just use it with common sense (don't spray our hair...)

I lit the charcoal and closed it and let it burn the substance off. Then next day I used a grill brush on it. Cleaned off great.

I would say no- There is no charcoal or other odor absorbing material in its makeup. I wear it under my scent loc.....

I didn't notice charcoal and I have no idea what the crystals are made of. It has a pleasant smell but I found the canister DampRid that last for about 3 months to be a better buy. I took it to our camp and it really helps to remove the dampness there. It also can be emptied several times before you have to replace the bag in the top. I was skeptical at first but am sold on it now.

It is a very liquid like water. I suppose you could except that the filter might filter out the active ingredients. I don't know how it would react to the charcoal filter in those watering bowels. I put mine in a cage water bowl so I know he'll drink it.

Typically GAC charcoal filters will remove some of the taste of the tannin as it does for chlorine. It will filter out the sediment and definitely clean the water. I don't believe this straw will make the water that much clearer though. It will just make the water a lighter shade of "Florida Tea". But Tannin is not harmful. The H20 Survival Straws 3rd Pre-filter will help filter out the sediment. But if you are asking if it will reduce some of the taste and odor the answer is it will certainly help. It has been suggested that sugar or sweetener be added to the filtered water to make it taste better. Also the slower you filter it thru the straw, (thus more contact with the GAC) the better it will smell and taste. I would fill a coke bottle or the included flat water bottle bag and filter it into a another container slowly rather than sucking it thru the straw. Another way to get rid of much of the Tannin is really best achieved in a slow filter gravity fed system where the water is keep in contact with the GAC for a longer time. Unfortunately this type of system is obviously less portable to carry.

I've never tried it over charcoal, but considering how hot charcoal gets, it should work just fine. I would consider contacting Camp Chef and ask the question before trying though.

As I understand it, it's more effective on an empty stomach 30 to 60 min prior to each meal. It should still work, but with a diminished effect.

I really don't know the answer to your question -- but I'd certainly like to know "just in case" I need the information in the future. The main problem I have is the bits of charcoal that continually come through the filter (especially weekly when I'm running a strong stream of hot water through it to help "clean" it.) Good luck.

The few times I've used it that has never been an issue because the charcoal lasts so long. Use the lump charcoal that burns for a long time. I've wondered how to add charcoal even though I've not had to. It seems that you would have to remove the food and then add charcoal.

The expiration dates will vary by lot. 3M says the use by date is 5 years from date of manufacture. But activated charcoal will last forever in sealed packaging.

I don't think it's a good idea to use it indoors. Charcoal gives off carbon monoxide. It's toxic.

Hi Charlie.I get the charcoal at Walmart in the "fish" department. It's called Aqua-Tech activated carbon. It's for aquariums. It is in a square plastic container, net weight 9 oz. The charcoal works perfectly in the Reusable Filter and lasts me about 6 or 8 months. With 13 cats in the house (and 5 outside that come in and go out at their pleasure) I clean my fountain about every 3-4 days. I have had the fountain for over a year and I just bought my second container from Walmart. It's easy to find and at Walmart it costs $6.99. Hope this helps.
