Liquid carbon is a biologically active additive - sorbent. The product absorbs various substances from the gastrointestinal tract, from the simplest molecules to complex proteins, and removes them from the body, preventing them from being absorbed into the blood.
Pharmacological properties
Liquid charcoal is a complex of apple pectin, prebiotic inulin, as well as succinic acid and taurine. The product is a powder that must be dissolved in water before use. The resulting solution has a gel consistency, gently envelops the walls of the stomach and intestines and completely eliminates the possibility of mechanical injury. Drinking 1 sachet of Liquid Charcoal is much more convenient than swallowing 7-10 tablets of activated carbon.
The drug, like activated carbon, is not able to distinguish beneficial substances from harmful ones. Therefore, it should be taken separately from food or medications - at least 1 hour apart.
Pectin, dissolving in water, forms a gel. It can be figuratively represented as a sponge of molecules. Moving through the gastrointestinal tract, the pectin “sponge” captures drug breakdown products, allergens, toxins and other xenobiotics (substances foreign to the body), bile acids, histamine, bilirubin and other toxic metabolic products, preventing them from being absorbed into the blood. Pectin breaks down poorly in the stomach and is not digested in the intestines. Everything captured by the “pectin sponge” is excreted from the body.
Also, pectin molecules combine with ions of heavy metals and radionuclides, forming insoluble salts that are not absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, heavy metals are removed from the body. Often substances harmful to the human body also have a detrimental effect on the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, in combination with the pectin sorbent, inulin has been added to the “Liquid Coal” composition, which helps restore the natural intestinal microflora.
Inulin accelerates the passage of food bolus through the upper gastrointestinal tract, which promotes the rapid elimination of harmful substances. And in the lower intestines, inulin breaks down and serves as a nutrient substrate for bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
Inulin has a selective effect, that is, it stimulates the development of beneficial microflora, but does not promote the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.
Succinic acid and taurine are easily absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract and improve energy production in cells. Succinic acid also stimulates the detoxification function of the liver.

Convenient form of administration
Available in the form of a powder for preparing a solution - a sachet for preparing a drink is easy to dose and take with you.
Pleasant taste - pectin gives the drink a natural apple taste.
Active Ingredients:
Pectin is a natural sorbent (cleanses the body).
Pectin eliminates the cause and symptoms of intoxication. Removes harmful substances from the body: toxins, allergens, drug breakdown products, bile acids, histamine, bilirubin, heavy metals. Binds and removes heavy metal ions. Pectin eliminates the cause of diarrhea because it blocks the adhesion of pathogenic microorganisms to the intestinal wall, binds and removes microorganisms and the toxins they release, and normalizes intestinal function and stool. Pectin removes allergens and accelerates the disappearance of allergy symptoms.
Inulin is a prebiotic (normalizes intestinal microflora)
Inulin helps restore your own beneficial intestinal microflora. Substances that poison the human body also have a detrimental effect on the intestinal microflora, which is why Liquid Charcoal is enhanced with a prebiotic. Inulin is a nutrient medium for beneficial bifidobacteria and lactobacilli that populate the lower intestines. Bacteria that are “unfriendly” to the body cannot feed on inulin. Suppresses the growth of harmful microorganisms. Inulin has an “enveloping effect”, protecting the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines from mechanical irritation by food.
Fennel
Fennel extract (a mild natural antispasmodic, which is allowed even for small children) reduces discomfort and bloating, eliminates cramps and other unpleasant sensations in the child’s stomach, and normalizes gastrointestinal motility. It has carminative properties and improves intestinal motility.
The food supplement “Complex with pectin Liquid Charcoal® for children” will be useful:
To cleanse the body and prevent intoxication;
In case of intestinal dysfunction,
With dysbacteriosis,
As part of complex therapy for allergic reactions (to remove allergens), poisoning and intestinal infections.

Indications
Contraindications
individual intolerance to product components. Before use, consult a pediatrician.
The difficulty is that in the early stages of helminthic infestation the symptoms are not clearly expressed or are absent at all. You should sound the alarm and consult a doctor for a diagnosis if your child or adult family members complain:
- for itching in the perianal area,
- poor appetite
- regular but mild abdominal discomfort for no apparent reason,
- diarrhea,
- weakness, irritability.
The most common symptom that indicates infection with helminths is dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT): stool disorders (constipation or loose stools); stomach ache; flatulence; dyspepsia of the upper gastrointestinal tract (rapid satiety, nausea, belching).
In addition, endoctoxins inhibit the intestinal microflora, and the removal of toxins contributes to its restoration.
“Liquid coal for children” - a sorbent that works
Natural sorbent “” will help protect the body from waste products of helminths or their destruction.
Apple pectin is the main active component of Liquid Coal. Upon contact with water, pectin turns into a gel, which in structure resembles a sponge. In the intestines, such a “sponge” absorbs waste products of helminths and what is left of them after anthelmintic drugs. Harmful substances do not enter the blood and are eliminated from the body.
Fennel extract is the third component. It eliminates discomfort in the stomach, reduces cramps and bloating. This makes the child feel more comfortable.
Studies show that in children with giardiasis, whose complex therapy included the enterosorbent “Liquid Coal for Children,” increased fatigue, ailments after physical activity, and causeless drowsiness disappeared much faster. Almost half of the children stopped complaining of memory and concentration problems, as well as headaches, bruxism (teeth grinding), abdominal pain and flatulence. The frequency of bowel disorders in the form of diarrhea and constipation decreased by 2 times.
The average duration of intoxication symptoms (nausea, weakness, loss of appetite) in children who took “Liquid Charcoal for Children” was significantly less than in those who took activated carbon or did not take sorbents at all.
You should start taking Liquid Coal sorbent 2-3 hours after taking anthelmintic drugs. Dosage regimen: 2-3 times a day, one sachet for five days. The drug is approved for use in children over three years of age.
To prepare the drink, pour 50-75 ml of water into a glass and, while stirring continuously, add the powder in a thin stream. Let it brew for a couple of minutes and stir again - the drink is ready to drink.
"", unlike traditional activated carbon, begins to act immediately and does not irritate the stomach. Please note that “Liquid Charcoal for Children” has a natural apple flavor, and therefore children drink it more readily than other sorbents.
There are contraindications. Specialist consultation is required.

Features of the liquid sorbent and its main functions
Activated carbon has long been considered the most popular remedy for getting rid of toxins and other harmful substances in the body. This is an excellent natural sorbent. It is capable, like a sponge, of absorbing various substances, preventing them from being absorbed into the blood and removing them from the body. Liquid absorbent has the same properties. However, for its production, instead of charcoal powder, apple pectin is used.
The product is available in two forms - for adults and children, which differ slightly in composition. The key components are the absorption component pectin and the prebiotic inulin. The product for adults is supplemented with the amino acid taurine with hepatoprotective functions and succinic acid to improve metabolic processes.
The drug contains, in addition to apple pectin and inulin, fennel extract. When dissolved in water, it forms a gel that absorbs foreign substances, softens pain and cramps in the abdomen, and promotes the rapid removal of irritants from the body.
General characteristics of the drug
The drug is a powder, conveniently packaged in small portions in a sachet. Before use, it is dissolved in water and a gel is obtained that is easy for a child to drink.
The ingredients of the product are natural. Pectin is obtained from apples, the prebiotic inulin is obtained from Jerusalem artichoke or chicory, and the component against cramps and bloating is obtained from fennel seeds.
When a baby is given a liquid sorbent to drink, the product acts very gently. It envelops the irritated walls of the digestive tract. This medicine does not additionally injure either the stomach or intestines. It has a pleasant apple flavor, so it is easy to give even to a capricious child suffering from intestinal upset.
Ingredients of children's detoxifying product
The main active ingredient of the liquid sorbent is pectin. When dissolved in water, it swells and is able to absorb other substances. In this case, pectin is not digested in the intestines, but is excreted from the body along with harmful substances that have been absorbed into it.
How many active ingredients are contained in 1 sachet (in grams):
- Inulin is a polysaccharide that can be found naturally in many plants. It belongs to the group of dietary fibers and is used as a prebiotic - a substance that improves the motility of the large intestine.
- Fennel extract is an excellent antispasmodic that relieves pain and relieves the unpleasant sensations of bloating.
Auxiliary components of the product:
- Dextrose monohydrate – necessary for dehydration of the body as a source of glucose and a rehydrating agent;
- silicon dioxide - needed to prevent the powder in the sachet from caking.
Pharmacological action of the drug
Thanks to its gel-like form, the drug begins to act very quickly, almost immediately after its use. Active ingredients absorb toxic elements foreign to the body and promote their rapid elimination. Along the way, they soften inflammation, prevent bacterial activity, relieve pain and improve the general condition of the child.
Pharmacological properties of the main active ingredients:
The polysaccharide pectin is capable, like a sponge, of absorbing water and other liquids along with the substances dissolved in them.
The prebiotic inulin is used to stimulate the vital activity of the microflora of the large intestine. At the same time, it serves as food only for beneficial intestinal bacteria and does not allow the growth of pathogenic microbes.
Fennel extract neutralizes toxins and prevents inflammation from developing, eliminates the accumulation of gases, and relaxes the intestinal muscles. Thanks to fennel, pain and spasms recede, and the baby feels better.
Indications when to use the drug
The remedy is most often used for intestinal disorders. The child feels sick from nausea and vomiting, has a stomach ache, a fever, and other signs of intoxication. In this case, a mild sorbent with apple flavor will significantly alleviate the condition.
When allergies occur, the body releases bioactive substances that increase vascular permeability and cause the release of toxins into the intercellular space. The liquid sorbent successfully absorbs them and removes them, so it is used for allergies of any nature.
The list of indications for the use of the drug is quite wide:
- itching of the skin with atopic dermatitis;
- taking antibiotics;
- any infectious diseases with signs of intoxication of the body;
- gastric dysbiosis;
- diarrhea.
Rules for using the drug
The product is allowed to be given to children over 3 years of age. At this age, the child knows how to drink from a glass well and can cope with a gel-like drink.
The product is conveniently packaged in a sachet - one dose at a time. Before use, you need to check with your doctor how much medicine to give your baby. The powder is diluted in 50 ml of warm water, stirred and allowed to stand for a while. The liquid becomes like jelly, has a pleasant apple aroma and is slightly sweet.
The drug is allowed to be taken 3 times a day, an hour after meals or 2 hours before meals - the regimen is determined by the doctor.
Typically, the duration of treatment with liquid sorbent is 3 days. For allergies and some other conditions, the doctor may prescribe it for 2 weeks or more.
Special instructions when using sorbents
When the doctor prescribes drugs with a sorbing effect, it is necessary to give the child more to drink. This is important because sorbents absorb a lot of fluid from the intestines and remove it. Along with foreign harmful substances, water also leaves the baby’s body. We need to compensate for this loss.
Do not give the drug at the same time as food or other medications. The sorbent absorbs any liquids and substances contained in them without dividing into harmful and beneficial. The simultaneous use of drugs with a sorbent substance will disrupt their absorption.
Who should not take liquid absorbents?
The main rule for taking sorbent liquids is mandatory consultation with a doctor. Despite the naturalness of the components of the product, they may be intolerable to the child and cause severe allergic reactions.
Since the drug contains glucose, it should not be taken by children with diabetes mellitus or other metabolic disorders without a doctor's permission.
Helping infants with intestinal disorders
Liquid sorbent preparations are intended for children over 3 years of age. However, the need for detoxification may occur in younger children. It is better not to give newborns any medications, but to immediately seek help from a doctor. Children from the second month of life can be given activated carbon.
How to give activated charcoal to babies:
- calculate the dosage - multiply the child’s weight by 0.05, you get the daily amount of coal;
- look at the dosage of available activated carbon tablets and select a portion for the day;
- grind the coal into powder and dilute it in warm water, stir well until it becomes a homogeneous suspension;
- We drink the finished mixture to the baby during the day in any portions, but an hour before meals or an hour after.
Treatment with activated carbon lasts no more than 3 days. If it doesn’t help, the doctor will select another regimen. Children under one year old are allowed one tablet per day, children 1-3 years old are allowed up to four tablets of coal per day.
Analogues of activated carbon
When a child suffers from intoxication, we are talking about an intestinal disorder, infection or allergy, parents should choose the most accessible sorbent. You must first ask your doctor about dosages and administration.
When choosing a drug for a child, you need to carefully read the composition. Sometimes it may contain flavoring additives that can trigger an allergic attack.
Storage conditions of the drug
The main condition for storing activated carbon or its analogues in powders and tablets is the absence of moisture. Despite the tight packaging of sachets or blisters, moisture can still penetrate inside and cause swelling of the drug.
Sorbents do not like direct sunlight. They need to be placed in a closed cabinet in a room where it is not hot. Of course, children should not have access to them.
Any drugs with sorbent properties, such as activated carbon or its analogues, must be given to the child on an empty stomach. This is important for effective colon cleansing. The absorption of food and other medications will not be affected.
Regarding “Liquid Coal for Children,” experts note its versatility, mild action and natural ingredients. In addition, its pleasant aroma and taste allow it to be used effectively for very young, capricious children.
