Charcoal is activated when wood or a similar material is super-heated in the absence of oxygen. The end result is a black, porous material that sponges up any and every molecule it can find. It is this ask-no-questions molecular sponge-like behaviour that makes activated charcoal the ideal detoxification agent. As such, it is nowadays mostly used in emergency centres to deal with overdose situations. The problem with activated charcoal powder is that it is both yucky and messy to swallow. Our Activated Charcoal Capsules are the answer to a sticky situation. Easy to dose, easy to swallow, no mess. Each capsule contains 260mg of Pure Activated Charcoal. This is more than any other charcoal product in South Africa. And milligram for milligram, our price per capsule is better than any other. Uses: * Clears toxins from the body. This includes alcohol and medication, but also environmental toxins and toxins produced by the body, especially the liver. * Reduces gas and abdominal bloating. * Treats for diarrhoea. * Lowers high cholesterol levels. * Improves kidney function.
