WHAT IS ACTIVATED CHARCOAL?
Activated charcoal is not the same charcoal you would use for the grill. It is considered safe to ingest by the Food and Drug Administration. Actually, it was considered a universal antidote to help with drug overdoses and for treating poisonings. The charcoal is activated by processing natural wood at high temperatures striping any molecules it may have absorbed resulting in a highly absorbent fine black powder. The porous texture allows the activated charcoal to trap toxins and chemicals in the gut and prevents free radicals from being absorbed by the body. In 1500 B.C. the Egyptians knew the benefits of activated charcoal and used it for it's ani-bacterial and absorption properties. Activated charcoal is vegan, gluten free, odorless, and tasteless!
