Eden Healthfoods Activated Charcoal Steam Activated Charcoal Powder 300g

Medicinal-grade steam-activated coconut fibre charcoal powder, and nothing else — no additives, sweeteners, chemicals or binders. Steam activation, rather than chemical activation, is what enhances its adsorption capacity, distinguishing this from the food-grade charcoal used in water filters or topical products. It's an ultra-fine powder, activated charcoal being known to bind a very wide range of substances, including thousands of known drug residues, pesticides and insecticides.

A heaped teaspoon (2g) stirred into half a glass of water, followed by a full glass of water, is the standard dose. Because of its binding action, it needs care around timing with medications and other supplements.

Usage directions

Heaped teaspoon (2g) in half a glass of water. Follow with 1 glass of water.
