ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
IS THE ANSWER
Usually when we think of charcoal,
we think of those toxic little
briquettes used for grilling.
But there is also a type of
charcoal that can actually help

Activated charcoal is a dietary supplement that is
used in emergency centers all over the world in cases of drug overdose and poisoning. It works by trapping
toxins in its porous material so the body can then eliminate those toxins. It has also been shown to support
digestion by relieving gas and bloating. Combining activated charcoal with the enzyme alpha-galactosidase

Keep in mind that not all activated charcoal is created equal. The best choice is activated charcoal made
from coconut shells. This highly absorbent, all-natural material has been shown to effectively support digestion
and detoxification.
