Activated Charcoal

what it is:
Activated carbon (also known as activated charcoal) is made from heating carbon in the presence of gas. This process creates small, low-volume pores that increase the surface and help the charcoal trap chemicals. As a result, one teaspoon of activated charcoal has about the same surface area as a football field.
why we use it:
Charcoal is used to treat chemical toxicity, and also has positive effects on candida overgrowth, intestinal gas, exposure to mold, radiation, poisons, and pesticides.
can be found in:
In nature as a result of burning carbon
the cymbiotika difference:
We source the highest quality charcoal made from coconut shells. All of our raw materials are third party tested to ensure purity and potency.
Did You Know?
The first recorded medical use of charcoal was from Egyptian papyri around 1500 BC, when charcoal was used to eliminate bad smells from wounds. By 400 BC, the Phoenicians stored water in charred barrels on trading ships to improve its taste. They understood one of charcoal’s most important properties: its ability to bind substances to its surface, a phenomenon known as “adsorption.” Today, activated carbon is a staple in emergency rooms. In cases of suspected drug overdose or poisoning, it is administered orally to bind and trap the toxins before they have a chance to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
