Activated Charcoal With Probiotic Encapsulation

[Tyler Woodward]

Many probiotics today are formulated with specific capsules or coating designed to make it into the colon unscathed. Being that one of the major downsides from consistent activated charcoal use is that it will also bind to "good" nutrients in our small intestine, could we negate these downsides by encapsulating it in one of these probiotic capsules? This way it minimizes its effect in the small intestine and maximizes it in the large.

It's also possible that a normal cellulose capsule would do the trick.

Thoughts?

That's what I do, but I doubt a capsule remains intact all the way to the colon. Probiotic caps are to help get it past stomach acid. Sometimes I will double cap by putting a smaller one inside a larger one
