I tried these 'Swiss Natural' Activated Charcoal Capsules on 3-4 occasions during the past month or so, when I was feeling abdominal pain, pressure, bloating, and cramping symptoms from excess gas. Each and every time I took the product, I would end up forced to take multiple doses, yet still barely notice any improvement in any of my symptoms. This was made even more frustrating because, as per the product's directions, you are required to wait 2 hours in between each dose. To say I was very disappointed in these activated charcoal capsules is a massive understatement, they were totally ineffective and the sheer number of capsules I had to take is ridiculous. After my repeated disappointments using the product, my partner also tested these activated charcoal capsules in the hopes they would help relieve his "sulfur burps". He ended up taking 3 doses, which took 6 hours (plus 6 big, difficult to swallowcapsules) and provided him virtually no relief, before he eventually just took 2 Tums and felt completely better in less than 15 minutes.
We both felt that this product did next to nothing to even reduce any of the symptoms it claims to in fact worse than nothing, as it forced us to suffer for countless hours, repeatedly waiting 2 hours just to be able to take another useless dose. I will never take these Activated Charcoal Capsules again, when 2 Tums only take 5 minutes for you to feel better, are much easier to take than big capsules, and costs a fraction of the price.    -
