Highly adsorptive activated vegetable carbon binds intestinal toxins and bacterial contaminants in the digestive tract. One gram of Biocarbon activated vegetable carbon has a surface area that is equivalent to the total area of more than 8 tennis courts! The irritants are removed from the intestinal tract and the elimination of pathogenic substances is encouraged. Activated vegetable carbon is a special kind of vegetable carbon that has been treated at extremely high temperatures to obtain an even higher porous surface structure than non-activated carbon. Millions of tiny pores in the surface structure make it possible to trap gases and toxins. Activated vegetable carbon is used to effectively treat severe cases of diarrhea and can even be applied during events of acute poisoning. The activated carbon fur Biocarbon is made of 100% coconut shells.
