Activated Charcoal

Activated Charcoal is something I keep on hand always.  It's in my purse, my travel bag and my medicine cabinet. If I eat something iffy (hello sushi) I will take 2 capsules.  If I am bloated in the morning or after a meal, I take 2 capsules.  A night of drinking means 2 capsules before bed. Activated charcoal  is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area.  It has the ability to attract and bind to toxins and the body will flush these out of the body with a bowel movement. Be sure to take this AWAY from any medications you are taking or any supplements you are taking. You can also use activated charcoal to whiten teeth.  Open a capsule and mix with some toothpaste and brush normally. Just know it can be messy...but its really effective.
