Should Charcoal be taken before or after meal?

Charcoal is typically taken after a meal to help with digestion and to absorb toxins or gas that may have formed during the digestive process. However, if it's being used for a specific purpose, like in a detox protocol, it might be taken on an empty stomach. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice, as charcoal can interfere with the absorption of certain medications if taken too close together.
