Activated Charcoal is derived from Coconut Shells. A carbon that has been treated with oxygen to create pure carbon composed of millions of tiny micropores. Used both internally and externally, Activated Charcoal is extremely effective in binding vast amounts of organic material which trap toxins and prevent the body from absorbing them.
[Note: adsorbing means to accumulate (liquids or gases) on the outside/inside surface. Adsorption and absorption mean quite different things. Absorption is where a liquid is soaked up into something like a sponge, cloth or filter paper. The liquid is completely absorbed into the absorbent material. Adsorption refers to individual molecules, atoms or ions gathering on surfaces].

Activated Charcoal has been used for thousands of years for its adsorbing properties. It is still the most widely used drawing substance available today, and is why charcoal is found in water filters and used to treat acute poisoning in emergency departments around the world. Positively charged ‘free radicals’ are attracted to the negatively charged Activated Charcoal, allowing the binding to toxic substances in the stomach and intestines.
The neutralisation of these substances decreases the workload of the liver and kidneys and the intoxicant substances are excreted through the stool , preventing their reabsorption in the body.
