What is Food Activated Charcoal?

Also known as coconut ash, activated charcoal has long been a staple in hospitals, where it is used to prevent poisons and drug overdoses from being absorbed into the body. Clearly, it is a very potent detoxifier that many claim is capable of reversing a dry spell as well as mitigating the side effects of food poisoning.

It is produced by heating the coconut husk at high temperatures until it is completely burnt. The resulting ash is processed with hot air or steam to give it a microporous texture. It is in these pores that the absorption power of activated charcoal lies.

Properties

This ingredient was used in detox diets, added to juices and lemonades for its anti-aging properties, as well as for weight loss, lowering blood cholesterol and minimising gastrointestinal diseases. On the other hand, in the health sector, it was widely known for removing spider venom from wounds, as well as whitening teeth and removing toxic mould spores from the body.
