Charcoal supplements are most often advised for occasional use to ease gastric symptoms such as wind or bloating. Suffering from a bloated stomach or trapped wind can be painful and embarrassing. We offer two types, both are derived from carbon, but activated charcoal has many more applications than regular charcoal because it is more porous. It’s larger surface area allows it to filter out more toxins. It’s made when charcoal is heated to a high temperature and then "activated" by heating it with an oxidising gas or another chemical. This increases its surface area, creating pores that are able to absorb toxins and other substances. Activated charcoal in supplement form absorbs the bacteria in the intestines and can relieve bloating, discomfort and flatulence. It works by binding with by-products within the intestines that cause the discomfort and is best taken two hours before a meal or one hour after eating. Some toothpastes also use charcoal, when brushed onto the teeth it absorbs plaque, bacteria and stains from the teeth and gums. It can help combat cavities, bad breath and gum disease, and bring about a nice sparkling smile; perfect for those insta stories. We even have a shower gel which absorbs the unwanted excess oils and leaves the skin feeling smooth. Check out the range below,
