    Glossary Activated Charcoal

    highly porous carbon used for adsorbing toxins and impurities

    Activated Charcoal, also known as Activated Carbon, is a form of carbon that has been processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase its surface area. This makes it highly effective at adsorbing (binding to) toxins and impurities, which is why it's commonly used in medical treatments for poisonings, water filtration systems, and even in beauty products to cleanse the skin and hair.
