Activated Charcoal Capsules

Organika offers activated charcoal powder, as well as  Homeopathic Activated Charcoal Capsules. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, “Homeopathy points to two unconventional theories: “like cures like”—the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people; and “law of minimum dose”—the notion that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness.”

Q: Why are your activated charcoal capsules white? Isn’t charcoal black?
A: Organika’s Activated Charcoal capsules are a homeopathic preparation. This means the charcoal was diluted to such a degree that the black charcoal itself is negligible, leaving no colour in the capsules.

Q: How much is 8x?
A: Homeopathy is all about dilutions, down to an amount where the substance can no longer be measured. There are different scales of dilution in homeopathy. The X scale signified ten times dilutions. So 8X is actually 10^8 dilution of the original item, in this case the activated charcoal.

Q: What does “activated” refer to in your Activated Charcoal Capsules?
A: Organika’s Activated Charcoal is uniquely treated with oxygen in a process called “activation”. This expands the charcoal’s pore size, greatly increasing the surface area of the carbon particles. It then has millions of tiny pores where elements, toxins and surface stains get trapped inside the charcoal. This becomes the base of what the homeopathic dilution starts from.
