Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal is a form of carbon that has been processed to increase its surface area and porosity. This enhancement allows it to effectively absorb toxins and impurities, making it useful in various applications, including medicine for treating overdoses and poisoning. It’s also marketed in beauty products and digestive health. The charcoal is "activated" by heating it at high temperatures, which creates millions of tiny pores. While it's beneficial in specific contexts, it should be used cautiously and not as a substitute for professional medical treatment. Always consult a healthcare provider before using activated charcoal for health purposes.
