There is a difference between Activated Charcoal and Charcoal. Both are derived from carbon, but activated charcoal is much more porous than charcoal. Activated charcoal, also called "activated carbon", can filter more than charcoal. It has oxygen added to it to increase its porosity, thereby, adding to its surface area, and making it highly adsorbent.
Charcoal contains ash; therefore, doesn't have carbon in its pure form.
Activated charcoal is the byproduct of burning a carbon source like wood or (better yet) coconut shells. The substance is “activated” by high temperatures, removing all the oxygen and changing its chemical structure to create much smaller particles with more surface area. The result is ultra-fine charcoal with millions of tiny pores that capture, bind, and remove poisons, heavy metals, chemicals, and intestinal gases.
BENEFITS ON ACTIVATED CHARCOAL:
1. General detoxification
2. Digestive health (relieves gas, bloating)
3. Heart health (may lower cholesterol levels)
4. Anti-aging properties (skin care and skin infections)
5. Natural water filter
6. Teeth whitening and oral health (*My favorite use)
7. Deodorant (may absorb smells and harmful gases, making it ideal as an underarm, shoe, and refrigerator deodorant)
Take activated charcoal when:
1. You eat out at restaurants or eat processed junk foods
2. You drink bad quality coffee
3. You are drinking any alcohol
4. You feel moody or tired
5. You are traveling and have jet lag
Medical Uses:
Activated carbon is used to treat certain poisons and overdoses following oral ingestion helping them to flush them from your body and making it a wonder substance for acute and general detoxification. Tablets or capsules of activated carbon are used in many countries as an over-the-counter drug to treat diarrhea, indigestion, and flatulence. However, activated charcoal shows no effect on intestinal gas and diarrhea, and is, ordinarily, medically ineffective if poisoning resulted from ingestion of corrosive agents.
Warning: People taking medications should talk with a doctor before taking oral activated charcoal products, however, as these may interfere with absorption of their medication.
