The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

Nature's Sunshine offers this activated charcoal in a 120 capsule count, with the listing noting both capsule and powder forms are associated with the product line. The maker markets it with detoxing language, positioning it as a general wellness supplement rather than a treatment for any specific condition.

At nearly 40 dollars, this is priced well above most other charcoal capsules in this roundup, many of which sell for 10 to 20 dollars for a similar or larger count. It holds a 4.7 average rating from 152 reviews, a smaller sample than several competitors, and reported recent purchases were not significant at the time of this review.

For shoppers already familiar with or loyal to the Nature's Sunshine brand, the higher price may be an acceptable tradeoff, but value focused buyers will find more capsules per dollar elsewhere in this category.

What buyers say

A 4.7 average from 152 reviews is respectable but reflects a smaller data set than many other products in this category, so buyer sentiment here is positive but less broadly established.
