Activated charcoal is created by heating common charcoal to make it more porous. The extra spaces in the charcoal trap gas molecules, reducing the gas that causes bloating. This high quality pure food grade product comes as a high pore and ultra-fine powder. Amongst its many benefits commonly used as digestive aid due to its adsorption qualities. Once digested, the activated charcoal absorbs gas within the digestive system, helping to reduce flatulence symptoms and making you feel more comfortable. Activated carbon is also effective in reducing blood cholesterol and triglyceride level, says research. Activated charcoal has the ability to adsorb (attach to) cholesterol and bile acids present in the intestine, preventing their absorption. Reducing the absorption of bile acids results in increased cholesterol breakdown by the liver. Charcoal binds to toxins in the gastrointestinal tract and stops it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. The toxins are then passed out of the body in the stool. Country Life's superfine charcoal powder is an excellent addition to DIY solutions such as toothpastes, face masks, lemonades, ice cream & more. No matter how clean we keep our diet, the environment is unfortunately saturated with high levels of toxicity. A regular detox protocol can do much to mitigate the damage caused by highly processed foods, alcohol, prescription drugs and environmental pollutants. Country Life Activated Charcoal is a great supplement to carry around with you, due to its ability to bind to mycotoxins, bad bacteria, microbes, mould and heavy metals and excrete them safely from the body.
