A teaspoon of Activated charcoal is mixed with distilled water to make a ready to drink tonic. This is great for anyone who needs a little activated charcoal immediately and may help settle the stomach in minutes. 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.
