Benefits of Activated Charcoal

Activated Charcoal

We recommend taking activated charcoal  to all our students and here is the reasons for using it regularly. Every amino acid has a carbon molecule so taken with the healthy living lifestyle products you are getting not only the benefits of charcoal but also the regeneration aspects of the formula's. There is some conflicting information about charcoal absorbing nutrients vitamins and minerals but when taken with amino acids that have a carbon molecule it will not absorb itself and help absorb toxic poisons, virus, bacteria and chemical.  It helps absorb and remove in-organic material and not organic.  It can absorb any medication or chemical so best not to take close to or either side of medication. 

It was 1831. In front of his distinguished colleagues at the French Academy of Medicine, Professor Touery drank a lethal dose of strychnine and lived to tell the tale. He had combined the deadly poison with activated charcoal.

That's how powerful activated charcoal is as an emergency decontaminant in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the stomach and intestines. Activated charcoal is considered to be the most effective single agent available. It is used after a person swallows or absorbs almost any toxic drug or chemical.

Activated charcoal is estimated to reduce absorption of poisonous substances up to 60%.

It works by adsorbing chemicals, thus reducing their toxicity (poisonous nature), through the entire length of the stomach and small and large intestines (GI tract). 

Question:

What Is Activated Charcoal and How Does it Work?

Answer: 

Activated charcoal is used in water filters, medicines that selectively remove toxins, and chemical purification processes. Activated charcoal is carbon that has been treated with oxygen. The treatment results in a highly porous charcoal. These tiny holes give the charcoal a surface area of 300-2,000 m2/g, allowing liquids or gases to pass through the charcoal and interact with the exposed carbon. The carbon adsorbs a wide range of impurities and contaminants, including chlorine, odors, and pigments.  Because adsorption works by chemically binding the impurities to the carbon, the active sites in the charcoal eventually become filled. Activated charcoal filters become less effective with use and have to be recharged or replaced.
