Activated coconut charcoal
Charcoal filters have been used in water filters for years to filter particulate from water. The first use of charcoal as an antidote was described in 1811 when a French chemist used it together with poison and showed no sickness.
Activated coconut charcoal is an activated carbon from coconut shells. The coconut shell is crushed and carbonized at 300-400 degrees and then heated to a further 900-1000 degrees celsius. This process alters the structure of the charcoal producing a lattice or honeycomb structure with a huge surface area. 1gram of activated charcoal may have an area of 1000 meters square. Each particle size is 200microns, lined with millions of tiny absorptive pores. Activated charcoal works by a process of adsorption, the chemical reaction where elements bind to its surface. It has a strong negative charge attracting positively charged mercury, BPA, aflotoxin and other endotoxins from food poisoning related bacteria. Activated coconut charcoal can trap 300x its own weight in toxins including intestinal gas. It is steam washed and then water washed and absolutely no solvents, chemicals or additives are used in its manufacture. It may also change colour slightly from season to season Activated coconut charcoal may also bind to drugs so should be taken away from medications and taken with plenty of water to avoid constipation. It can also bind to bile, enabling the excretion of fat based toxins before they are reabsorbed.Activated charcoal is used in medical settings as a treatment for poisoning or acute medication toxicity https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4767212/Activated charcoal lowered endotoxin and oxidative stress in kidney disease exposed rodents with compromised gastric epithelial cells.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3777856/
