What Is Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal or activated carbon is the new buzz in the nutrition and cosmetic industry. It is a fine, black-colored powder, which is prepared from coconut shells or peat.
Charcoal is activated with gases at high temperature, which removes previously adsorbed substances and further reduces particle size. This results in an exceptionally porous final product.
Charcoal was used as an antidote for the first time in 1811 and no side-effects were observed after consuming charcoal.
