DESCRIPTION
Super Activated Vegetable Charcoal Powder - 50 g
Our Carbo 1000, activated vegetable charcoal, is a natural food supplement in the form of fine charcoal powder with a particularly high absorption capacity (over 1,000 m²/g), created from very high-quality charcoal obtained from coconut shells, for enhanced detox action on the intestinal environment. The vegan lifestyle is compatible with this natural product. People unable to swallow capsules, especially children and individuals with physical limitations, can use the powder form.
Activated charcoal, also known as activated carbon, is a carbon-based material with a unique porous structure. Thanks to its large internal surface area and absorption properties, activated charcoal is used in many fields for purification, filtration, and detoxification.
In the field of water purification, activated charcoal is used to remove impurities, chemicals, and contaminants present in drinking water. It can adsorb substances such as chlorine, pesticides, heavy metals, and organic compounds, thereby improving water quality and making it safer to consume.
Regarding air filtration, activated charcoal is used in air purification systems to capture harmful particles, odors, and unwanted gases. It can eliminate atmospheric pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chemical vapors, smoke, and unpleasant odors, thus contributing to a healthier and more pleasant indoor environment.
Activated charcoal is also used in the treatment of intoxications and poisonings. In cases of ingestion of toxic substances, it can be administered to adsorb and eliminate toxins from the digestive system, preventing their absorption by the body.
The adsorption power of activated charcoal makes it a valuable ally for removing impurities, toxins, and undesirable substances, thereby improving quality of life and health.
The manufacturing process of activated vegetable charcoal involves several phases:
1- Activated vegetable charcoal is obtained from organic plant materials, such as wood, coconut, or charcoal, which are heated to very high temperatures between 600 and 900 degrees Celsius.
2- This is followed by a second combustion that takes place at a lower temperature but with the presence of air, water vapor, and oxidizing gases, which gives it its porosity. This process yields charcoal very rich in activated carbon.
3- The activated charcoal obtained is then ground into a fine powder.
This process significantly increases the number of micropores that form in the carbon. The quantity of these pores will affect the carbon's ability to adsorb substances.
Activated vegetable charcoal is renowned for its exceptional adsorbent properties:
Adsorbent: Super activated charcoal is pure charcoal that possesses absorbent qualities due to a specific manufacturing process. Adsorption, as opposed to absorption, is a distinct capacity you should be aware of. Adsorption is a physical process that attaches molecules, liquids, or even gases to the surface of a porous solid. Liquids and gases enter a living organism through a porous membrane to be absorbed.
Compared to other standard activated charcoals, which frequently adsorb 1000 m²/g, Laboratoires SFB Super Activated Vegetable Charcoal offers extraordinary adsorption qualities of approximately 2000 m²/g. This figure represents the amount of adsorption surface per gram of powder, in square meters. The larger this number, the more powerful the charcoal's action.
Packaging: 50 g powder
INGREDIENTS
For one tablespoon (8g):
Super activated charcoal from coconut (Cocos nucifera) 8 g
BIENFAITS
For digestion: Activated charcoal is known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-oxidant properties in our body. In particular, activated charcoal is recognized for its benefits in cases of digestive and intestinal disorders due to its natural detoxifying effect. Thanks to its adsorbing properties, activated charcoal neutralizes toxins present in our digestive system.
While toxins in lipids and the digestive tract are bound by activated charcoal, food can be processed without the body also attempting to break them down. To reduce gas, activated charcoal works particularly well in the small intestine. It helps to reduce bloating and is linked to the acids that cause indigestion (reflux and bloating).
Activated charcoal will aid in the retention and elimination of intestinal gases, thus helping to reduce excessive flatulence after meals.
CONSEILS D'UTILISATION
Mix 1 tablespoon in a glass of water in the morning on an empty stomach, 3 hours apart from any medication.
