Is Charcoal Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Charcoal, often referred to as activated charcoal when used in food and supplement contexts, is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption. It is commonly used for its detoxifying properties, and can be found in various food products, beverages, and supplements. While typically made from wood, coconut shells, or peat, some types of charcoal are derived from animal bone char, making it potentially unsuitable for vegans.
