Activated Charcoal

WORLD'S OLDEST DETOXING REMEDY

Activated charcoal is one of the world’s oldest detoxifying remedies with a history going back over 3000 years. Charcoal has historically been used in a medicinal way by practitioners of Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, and Western medicine as an absorbent agent that binds and eliminates toxic substances.

Toxins from processed foods, chemicals in our water and environmental toxins we are breathing and consuming every day are a serious threat to our health. It is vital that we help our body to effectively neutralize and eliminate these substances on a daily basis. Here are some of the symptoms associated with chronic toxicity:

How does Activated Charcoal Work?

Activated charcoal has millions of tiny pores that capture and bind materials in an absorbent manner, much like a sponge. Due to the absorbent qualities, they can grab over 100 times their own weight in toxins.

Sponges absorb liquids but do not bind them and therefore they can be squeezed right out.  On the flip side, substances like charcoal that adsorb actually bind the toxins so they cannot escape.  When toxins and other impurities interact with charcoal they are bound tightly at a molecular level and cannot escape.

Remarkably, it is estimated that 4-5 grams of activated charcoal will have the same surface area as a football field.   These pores are tiny which allows it to grab up toxins of all sizes and gas substances as well.

What are the benefits of Activated Charcoal?

Free radicals are characterized as having a positive charge because they are missing an electron and they damage cells and tissues as they look to scavenge for electrons. The porous surface of the charcoal has a negative electrical charge that naturally attracts positively charged unwanted toxins and intestinal gas and removes these from the body.

Charcoal is also great at grabbing up parasites, bad bacteria, yeast, and other unwanted microbes when they have over-proliferated in our digestive tracts. It will also grab up pesticides and herbicides and even some of the available heavy metals it comes in contact with in the digestive system.

Try it even once and you’ll feel a difference!

Why choose Activated Charcoal?

Many charcoal supplements use very small and ineffective or inconvenient dosages. Often this is in black powders that cause a big mess and make you gag as you try to swallow them. Additionally, they are often made from cheap and potentially toxic materials.

The ultra-fine and highly purified Activated Charcoal uses acid washing, a more expensive extra step that removes toxic heavy metals that are a problem in many preparations of charcoal. The finer the charcoal grains, the better it works.

Activated Charcoal is so fine that it requires a new method of packing its ultra-fine grains into capsules without damaging the manufacturing machines. This added step results in charcoal with the most surface area to create maximum adsorption.

How do I use Activated Charcoal?

Because activated charcoal is mainly used to remove toxins from the body, it is great to use when consuming food of unknown quality, eating out at restaurants, or drinking alcohol. If you are feeling moody or suddenly tired, activated charcoal can act as a detox and get you back in the game faster.

Toxicology studies show activated charcoal to be harmless, not interfering with sleep, appetite, or well-being. Everyone responds differently to different doses, so to avoid potential undesirable effects such as constipation, please consult your doctor and use only as suggested.

We have found that if you are using high dosages or experience any constipation with it, you can easily remedy this with extra magnesium.

I recommend taking charcoal away from other supplements or medications (at least an hour or 2) so that it doesn’t interfere with the absorption of the active ingredients in the supplement or medication.

What is the recommended dosage?

Take two or more capsules when consuming food of unknown quality or alcohol or outside of meals to enhance detoxification pathways.

Warnings: The high adsorption of charcoal may reduce the effectiveness of certain medications. Consult your healthcare provider before taking charcoal. Never take charcoal at the same time as medications. May cause harmless darkening of stools. At high doses, may cause constipation.

Other ingredients: Gelatin (capsule), sourced from pork and beef.

Free of Common Allergens including: gluten, corn, soy, dairy products, and wheat
