Its unlikely, although I am no expert, charcoal is innert (does not interact actively with your body) .   Think of it as swallowing a sponge, it soaks things up but does not give anything out... In ERs they give it to people who have swallowed poisons and caustic substances to minimise damage....

Switch to yaeyama chlorella and see if it makes a difference. Charcoal dehydrates and I find that dehydration triggers headaches in me that are bad enough to wake me up.

good job Nancy, good point about the dehydration aspect & headaches.  Charcoal is to be taken with LOTS of water, that is for sure.
