Pure Eden’s “Food Grade” Activated Charcoal powder is 100% natural. It is made from coconut shells, contains no fillers or binders, and is more “adsorbent” than tablets. Activated Charcoal is pure carbon and is considered the most adsorptive material in the world. It is negatively charged and attracts matter which is positively charged, such as toxins, chemicals and body wastes. Vitamins and nutrients are negatively charged, so are therefore not affected by activated charcoal. It can be taken internally by mixing it with water, added to your favourite dishes and drinks or used externally in the form of a poultice or in many DIY beauty remedies.
