Activated Charcoal Capsules

You are exposed to many common toxins on a daily basis. Found in your food, water, air, drugs, personal care products and cleaning supplies, these pollutants are linked to free radical damage, decreased stress response, and increased liver load. As these toxins build up in the body, they can contribute to cardiovascular disease, tissue damage, and increased signs of aging.

As well, sometimes you can encounter an acute exposure to toxins. Food poisoning, stomach flu, or other microbial imbalance can cause your body to want to expel the microbe and its metabolites asap. This can show as vomiting and diarrhea. An effective detoxification process is essential to combat this acute attack, decrease build-up, prevent disease and maintain one’s overall health.

Traditionally, activated charcoal has been used in medicine since the early 1500’s as a safe and effective way to capture and dispose of toxins from the body naturally, in acute or chronic situations. With the help of a process called “adsorption,” healthcare professionals have been using charcoal to treat a variety of ailments, from poisoning, treating wounds and detoxification of the digestive tract.

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.” This means you can get some very powerful help from a small amount of our Activated Charcoal Capsules. It can remind your own systems how to effectively clear the toxins.

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 108 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.

Q: What is that equivalent to if I took charcoal powder?
A: It’s equivalent to around 200 mg of activated charcoal powder. But as homeopathics work on a different energy system, you don’t have to take the same amount as you would of the powder to be effective.

Q: I’ve heard you can take activated charcoal for food poisoning. Does this work?
A: Whenever we get into a scenario where the body wants to purge, activated charcoal can be amazing. Food poisoning, acute diarrhea, alcohol poisoning or the stomach flu are all times when activated charcoal can be beneficial at binding up the toxins the body is trying to get rid of. It’s a great travel staple! Though do remember to get yourself to a medical professional as well.
