Activated Charcoal – Certified food grade, made from coconut shells.

The use of charcoal as a medicinal agent dates back to 1,500 BC. Charcoal is used all across the world in emergency situations such as poisoning and drug overdose. Our food grade activated charcoal works by trapping toxins, heavy metals and chemical residues in its tiny pores. This is known as the process of adsorption, whereby a chemical reaction occurs that binds elements to a surface.

Activated charcoal can be used to treat skin ailments, bad breath, constipation and body odour. It can be used as a poultice which may help treat insect stings, poison ivy, cholera, dysentery, bites and inflammation.

It must be stored in a properly sealed container away from heat and moisture. It should preferably be used with water only, or taken alone, as anything else such as fruit juice will cause it to lose a great deal of its effectiveness.

Suggested Use:

Instructions for adults and individuals aged 12 years and above: Mix one teaspoon of activated charcoal in a glass of water and consume orally after meals, up to three times daily. Avoid taking activated charcoal concurrently with other supplements; maintain a minimum 2-hour interval between administrations.

Key Considerations for Activated Charcoal Usage:

• Seek advice from your healthcare provider before using activated charcoal, particularly if you are on medication, as interactions may occur.
• Ensure adequate hydration by consuming ample water alongside activated charcoal to prevent dehydration.
• Enhance the transit of activated charcoal through the intestines and promote efficient waste elimination by combining it with a high-fibre source such as psyllium powder or celery seed powder.
• For optimal outcomes, it is recommended to take activated charcoal before bedtime and at least 3-4 hours after dinner.

Please note, taking too much could trigger a detox in the body and lead to diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting.
