In some ways activated charcoal is exactly what it sounds like—charcoal made by taking non-toxic materials like coconut shells, olive pits, bamboo or other plant fibers and oxidizing them at a high temperature in the presence of gas. The resulting carbon is more porous than standard charcoal.2 This process effectively “activates” the charcoal, creating a highly-absorbent substance that is safe for consumption.There are other variations to this process, with some charcoal being activated with steam or other methods, but the principle remains the same. This edible charcoal soaks up toxins in the body, making it extremely useful both in wellness applications and detox routines.

Activated charcoal works by attracting and trapping toxins. Toxins are attracted to activated charcoal because its porous texture has a negative charge, allowing it to attract molecules that are positively charged. That includes gas and substances that produced the gas. Think of activated charcoal like a magnet. It attracts substances and pulls them from the body. And since your body won’t absorb the charcoal, the toxins pass through your system to be eliminated with the charcoal.

When you reach for any wellness supplement it’s important to know what you are putting in your body. Read the label and look for activated carbon granular or activated charcoal supplements made from identifiable ingredients like coconut shells or plant fibers. Activated charcoal is sometimes available in natural food stores and activated carbon wholesale, though it’s important to buy a brand you trust so you know the ingredients in your supplements are top quality and the methods of production are ecofriendly.
