Can activated charcoal be put in warm beverages?

[KaraM]

Hi,

 

I know antibiotics should not be put in warm beverages, but can activated charcoal. I read somewhere (don't ask me where) putting it in warm water can help with gas. But what about things like hot chocolate? Would the heat somehow change the composition and/or effectiveness?

 

Thanks,

Kara

I was hoping someone would have experience with this since I just opened up the capsule the other day and tried to mix it with juice. It was a disaster. It would not mix at all and was just what you'd expect. Powdery charcoal getting all over everything!

 

Did you try it or find out anything elsewhere?

No I haven't...but thanks for your reply and bumping it up. Anyone have experience/knowledge they can share on this?

I didn't even realize it could be mixed or that you'd drink it. We always used the capsules. I looked but couldn't find anything regarding temperatures. Sorry.

I would be surprised if temperature spoils it, but really I am not knowledgable or experienced on that topic.
