About Bragg's Charcoal Tablets
The Victorian remedy that never went away: J.L. Bragg's medicinal charcoal tablets give symptomatic relief from indigestion, wind and heartburn by adsorbing gas and the irritants that cause it. Simple, natural, no fizz and no chalk — just activated charcoal in a tablet. 100 tablets in the classic tub.
How charcoal helps
Activated charcoal has an enormous internal surface area that traps gases and unwanted compounds in the gut so they pass through harmlessly. That's why it's been used for wind and bloating for over a century, and why it remains a favourite with people who prefer something plain over flavoured antacids.
How to take
Take as directed on the label, usually after meals, swallowed with water. Because charcoal binds medicines as readily as gas, leave at least two hours between Bragg's and any other tablets you take. Check the label for the minimum age.
Good to know
Charcoal turns stools black — expected and harmless. Not for regular long-term use, and not a substitute for medical charcoal in poisoning. Heartburn most days for three weeks, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained weight loss means a GP visit.

Frequently asked questions
How do charcoal tablets work for wind?
Activated charcoal's huge surface area traps gas and irritant compounds in the gut so they pass through without bloating you.
Can I take them with my other medicines?
Leave at least two hours either side — charcoal binds medicines and can stop them being absorbed.
Is black stool normal?
Yes — charcoal colours the stool black and it's harmless. Actual blood in the stool is different and needs a GP.
