Organika Activated Charcoal Details
Used since the early 1500’s in medicine, Activated Charcoal (Carbon) is a safe and effective way of capturing these toxins to be disposed of naturally from the body. Organika’s Activated charcoal isn’t the same as what’s in your BBQ, but a carbon rich material sourced from Canadian Beech Wood, Poplar Trees and Silver Birch.
Through a process called “adsorption,” medical professionals have been using charcoal for centuries to treat poison cases, heal wounds and detoxify the digestive tract.
Activated form for improved toxin trapping abilities.
Sourced from Beech Wood
Vegetable Charcoal, aka Carbo vegetabilis, helps to eliminate toxin buildup from the body.
As a staple in homeopathic medicine, Activated Charcoal has traditionally been associated with eliminating toxins throughout the body as a Carbon-based supplement.

Other Names:
Activated Carbon, Animal Charcoal, Carbo Vegetabilis, Carbon, Carbón Activado, Charbon Actif, Charbon Activé,

Medicinal Charcoal, Noir de Gaz, Noir de Lampe, Vegetable Carbon, Vegetable Charcoal.
Regular Activated charcoal in a supplement is black.
Organika’s is a homeopathic Activated Charcoal, therefore, it is different from the regular
activated charcoal in appearance. The end result is the same (detox etc).
• Homeopathy, products go through a process called the vigorous shaking of solutions that takes
place during homeopathic ‘succussion’
o Homeopathy starts with the original product. Then a part of the original product is taken and
mixed with 99 parts of water. And then it’s subjected to vigorous shaking…that’s 1X
o Then one part of this shaken solution is taken and mixed with another 99 parts of water and then
shaken again …that’s 2X
§This will continue if the product is 8X like ours for 8 times.
• Homeopathy concept is “like cures like” closest example is vaccine in allopathic medicine
(modern medicine pharma)
§So the more succussion the more potent the remedy will be.
§Because of this dilution, the product that started as black or brown or any colour
will end up white. Hence all homeopathic in tabs or caps are white and liquids are
clear.
• In short
o Activated charcoal is black
o Homeopathic activated charcoal is white.
• Homeopathy works on vibrational energy left behind in water molecules after
succussion…however result is the same
• Homeopathy does not necessarily have to be sublingual…people can even put homeopathic
solution in water and drink it. So with caps you can do the same
How is it prepared: Though charcoal is the base of the homeopathic remedy carbo veg (Activated
charcoal), you will find virtually no traces of it. To prepare it, fist sized bits of wood are cut, heated
until red hot, and then sealed in an airtight jar. The ash that comes about through this process is
then triturated, diluted, and then succussed.

Who Digest-Force Is For
People who deal with gas, bloating or indigestion after meals
Travellers prone to motion sickness — ginger is used to help prevent the nausea and vomiting that come with it
Anyone who wants a short-ingredient, vegan digestive aid to keep on hand
People who want a small 15-capsule size for a bag, desk drawer or trip
Those who prefer a herbal option for occasional digestive upset
Who this product is NOT for:
Anyone who needs to take medications or other supplements at the same time — Digest-Force must be taken 2 hours apart from them
People whose digestive symptoms persist or worsen — see a health care practitioner
Anyone looking for enzymes to help break down proteins, carbs or fats — an enzyme formula is a better fit
Vitamart's Take
Digest-Force is the kind of product people keep in a drawer for the nights a meal doesn't sit right. Ginger is a well-established herbal choice for nausea and digestive upset, and the activated charcoal adds bulk to the formula. The flexible 1 to 6 capsule range lets you take a little or more depending on the day. The one rule to respect is timing: because charcoal binds substances, keep it 2 hours away from medications and other supplements. The 15-capsule size is a smart way to try it or carry it while travelling.
How Digest-Force Compares
Digest-Force vs. Enzyme-Force
Prairie Naturals Enzyme-Force is a broad-spectrum digestive enzyme taken with meals to help digest food. Digest-Force is ginger plus activated charcoal, aimed at digestive upset, gas and bloating, and motion sickness.
Digest-Force vs. Betaine HCL Plus Peppermint
Prairie Naturals Betaine HCL 500mg Plus Peppermint 60mg is a digestive aid taken with meals. Digest-Force is used as needed and can be taken on an empty stomach.
Digest-Force vs. plain ginger
A ginger-only capsule covers nausea support. Digest-Force combines a 10:1 ginger extract with activated charcoal in the same vegetable capsule.
What Is Activated Charcoal?
Charcoal that has been processed to greatly increase its surface area — this is what "activated" means
That large surface lets it bind (adsorb) other substances in the digestive tract
Because it binds substances, it should be taken 2 hours apart from medications and other supplements
Digest-Force provides 450 mg of activated charcoal per vegetable capsule
It is paired here with a 10:1 ginger root extract, a traditional herbal remedy for digestive upset
Recommended Purpose
Used to help prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness
Traditionally used in herbal medicine to help relieve digestive upset/disturbances, including lack of appetite, nausea, digestive spasms, indigestion, dyspepsia, gas, bloating and flatulent colic
How To Use
Adults: take 1 to 6 vegetable capsules daily, or as directed by a health care practitioner
May be taken on an empty stomach
Take 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking medications or other supplements
Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen

Who Vitacheck Magnesium Bisglycinate Is For
People who already know they want magnesium bisglycinate and want a lower-cost daily option
Anyone dealing with stress, poor sleep, muscle tension, or cramps
Families taking magnesium daily — the 120-capsule bottle at Vitamart Exclusive pricing makes daily use accessible
People who tried premium-brand bisglycinate and want a more accessible daily option
Anyone wanting a clean, allergen-friendly daily magnesium without paying for brand recognition
Who this product is NOT for: If you mostly want magnesium for occasional constipation, magnesium citrate works better (it pulls water into the bowel). If you specifically want a premium-brand magnesium for any reason, CanPrev Magnesium Bisglycinate 200 Gentle uses the same elemental dose. People with kidney disease or on certain medications should talk to their healthcare practitioner first.
Vitamart's Take
Vitacheck Magnesium Bisglycinate is our own brand of daily magnesium, made in Canada and approved by Health Canada. 200 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule in the gentle bisglycinate form — well-absorbed, easy on your stomach, with the glycine part calming on its own. The bottle holds 120 capsules, so a daily routine lasts four months. Vegan, allergen-friendly, and one of the lowest-cost daily magnesiums in Canada.
How Vitacheck Magnesium Bisglycinate Compares
Vitacheck vs CanPrev Magnesium Bisglycinate
Vitacheck (this product): One of our Vitamart Exclusive brands. 200 mg elemental magnesium from bisglycinate. Made in Canada. Lower cost per capsule.
CanPrev Magnesium Bisglycinate 200 Gentle: Premium Canadian brand. Same 200 mg elemental dose, same bisglycinate form. Higher cost reflects the brand positioning.
Bisglycinate vs Citrate vs Oxide
Magnesium Bisglycinate (this form): Best for sleep, stress, muscle tension, and daily use. Well-absorbed and gentle.
Magnesium Citrate: Best for occasional constipation. Has a mild laxative effect.
Magnesium Oxide: Very low absorption (4%). Avoid for therapeutic use.
Vitacheck Bisglycinate vs Magnesium Threonate
Vitacheck Bisglycinate: Best for general sleep, stress, and muscle support.
Magnesium Threonate: Crosses the blood-brain barrier better. Specifically for cognitive support. Premium-priced and reflects the specialty positioning.
The 7 Forms of Magnesium
Not all magnesium supplements are the same. The form determines what magnesium does in your body:
Bisglycinate (this product): Sleep, stress, muscle tension. Gentle on digestion.
Citrate: Constipation relief. Mild laxative effect.
Threonate: Brain and cognitive support.
Malate: Energy production and fibromyalgia support.
Taurate: Cardiovascular support.
Chloride / Sulfate: Usually topical (Epsom salts).
Oxide: Low absorption (~4%). Avoid for therapeutic use.
If you only buy one magnesium, bisglycinate is the most flexible — it works for sleep, stress, muscle support, and daily maintenance without digestive side effects.
Why Vitamart Launched Vitacheck
We've been selling supplements since 2005, and over the years we noticed a pattern: customers were paying premium prices for products where the active ingredient was identical to lower-cost options. The premium pricing wasn't paying for better ingredients — it was paying for marketing budgets, fancy packaging, and brand recognition.
Vitacheck is our answer to that. Same Canadian manufacturing standards. Same Health Canada NPN approval. Same active ingredients in the same doses. Just without the marketing markup. We can offer Vitacheck at lower prices because we work directly with the manufacturers and skip the middlemen. The savings go to you.
How To Use
Adults: Take 1 capsule daily, ideally in the evening with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Some people take 2 capsules — once in the morning and once in the evening — for stronger support.
Talk to a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have kidney disease, have a medical condition, or are taking medication.
Frequently Asked Questions
➕ What is a Vitamart Exclusive brand?
Vitamart Exclusive brands like Vitacheck are made specifically for Vitamart. Same Canadian manufacturing standards as premium brands, same Health Canada NPN approval, same active ingredients in the same doses — just without the marketing markup that adds 30-50% to most premium brand prices.
➕ How is this different from CanPrev Magnesium Bisglycinate?
Both use 200 mg of elemental magnesium from bisglycinate, both are made in Canada. CanPrev is the premium Canadian brand at a higher price point. Vitacheck is our Vitamart Exclusive version at a lower cost. Same active ingredient, same form.
➕ Why bisglycinate over other forms?
Bisglycinate is well-absorbed, gentle on digestion (no laxative effect), and the glycine component supports relaxation. It's the form most healthcare practitioners recommend for general use, especially for sleep and stress.
➕ Is this good for sleep?
Magnesium bisglycinate is one of the most popular sleep supplements. Magnesium supports the nervous system's relaxation response, and the glycine in bisglycinate has its own calming effect. Most people take it 30-60 minutes before bed.
➕ Will it cause loose stools?
Bisglycinate is the gentlest magnesium form on digestion. Unlike citrate or oxide (which pull water into the bowel and cause loose stools at higher doses), bisglycinate is well-absorbed and shouldn't cause this.
➕ How much magnesium should I take daily?
Health Canada's RDI is 320 mg (women) and 420 mg (men). Most adults get about half from food, so 200-400 mg from supplements is typical. Start with 1 capsule (200 mg) and adjust based on how you feel.
