How does Carbostat target specific components of my diet to block their absorption?
What scientists have known for decades is that the products targeted by activated carbon depend upon the size of the carbon particles and, most importantly, the mean diameter of the pores on the surface of those carbon particles. This determines the size of molecule the carbon will absorb into the particles’ internal structure. By carefully regulating the mean pore diameter on the carbon particles, the particles can literally be engineered to target specific compounds. This is the sensible science of how Carbostat targets fats, fatty acids, simple carbohydrates, and cholesterol.
