leaderboard Score 70.0
A reasonably priced activated charcoal product with a good dosage, but its moderate review count and lack of unique features place it as an average option compared to leading competitors.
This Bio Nutrition product offers 520mg of charcoal per serving, a suitable dose for its intended purposes of digestive health and general adsorption. With a price per serving of $0.24, it sits comfortably in the average range for the market. Its review count of 141 is modest, indicating some user base and feedback, but it's not as extensively reviewed as market leaders. While activated charcoal is effective for symptomatic relief of gas and bloating, the general 'detoxification' goal should be approached with caution, as scientific consensus largely discredits the need for such products in healthy individuals.
- Offers a suitable 520mg dose of activated charcoal, which is effective for common digestive discomforts.
- The price per serving is fair compared to many other products, providing decent value.
- The review count, while not extremely low, is still quite modest when compared to the thousands of reviews seen on top-selling activated charcoal products.
- The product does not specify the source of the charcoal (e.g., coconut, wood), which some consumers prefer for perceived purity or efficacy.
- Regular consumption may lead to constipation or black stools.
- It can also reduce the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and prescription medications, so timing of intake is crucial.

Categories
Activated Charcoal 70.0
This product holds an average position within the Activated Charcoal collection, offering a good dosage and reasonable price, but without distinguishing features or the extensive consumer validation of top-tier options.
Goals
Digestive Health 75.0
The 520mg dosage is effective for managing gas and bloating, and the price per serving is competitive enough to offer reasonable value for digestive relief.
Detoxification 60.0
Although activated charcoal can bind to some toxins, the general 'detoxification' claim lacks strong scientific backing for routine use by healthy individuals. This product provides a standard charcoal dose without specific features (like coconut source) to differentiate its 'detox' potential.
