Activated Charcoal — What It Really Does
🖤 It’s not magic. It’s chemistry.
What most people think:
• “Detoxes everything”
• Whitens teeth
• Fixes gas instantly
What activated charcoal actually does:
✔️ Adsorbs (binds to) certain toxins and chemicals in the gut
✔️ Can bind some heavy metals and drug residues
✔️ Helps reduce gas, bloating, and diarrhea
✔️ Used in medical settings for specific poisonings (under supervision)
✔️ Helps trap unwanted compounds so the body can eliminate them
