Activated Charcoal -

Product Description

What is it?

Activated carbon is any carbon that has undergone a particular preparation.
This process makes it possible to create very many microscopic orifices which will greatly increase the contact surface between the carbon and the medium in which it is located, and which, as a result, has to a high degree the property of fixing and retaining certain molecules brought on contact.

The surface of activated charcoal attracts and retains many substances (toxins, gases, heavy metals, alkaloids, poisons) but also drugs. This phenomenon is called "adsorption". It is used in various water and air filtration processes.

Current European regulations prevent us from communicating on the benefits of activated carbon.
