Activated carbon is a term that can be applied to any form of charcoal that possesses adsorptive power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medicinal use of charcoal is recorded as early as 1550 BC by the ancient Egyptians, though it was only in the latter part of the 18th century that its adsorbent powers were scientifically studied and it became possible to prepare it in a pure state, primarily as an antidote to poisoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever it has many uses beyond the medicinal, it is found in the purification system of our drinking water, in air conditioning systems to remove odours and in linings for gas masks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharcoal or carbon as it is often called is one of the most abundant elements on earth.  The most common forms of carbon are coal, coconut shell, wood, peat and lignite.  The charcoal we sell is made from coconut shells.  No trees are damaged in the process, and the husks are not a food-source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe charcoal undergoes a process called \"activation\".  This is achieved by firstly burning the shells in the absence of air and then placing the carbonized shells in a kiln full of steam at a temperature above 800 C for between 12-24 hours.  The steam opens up the pores of the charcoal and thereby enlarges them.  It is this process of \"activation\" that creates an enormous internal surface area (over 1000 sq meters per gram of charcoal!) which makes the charcoal such an effective adsorbent.  'Activisation' enlarges the pores of the charcoal so much that a teaspoonful has a surface area about the size of a football pitch!.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe activated charcoal powder then undergoes laboratory tests to pass the British Pharmaceutical Codex standard 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditive Free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin of Coconut Shells: Malaysia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction: EU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical Surface Area of 1g: between 800 - 1000 m2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Approx 100 microns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Product meets the requirements for EU food additive E153 (Vegetable Carbon).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material a licensed pharmaceutical.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baldwins","offers":[{"title":"Baldwins Charcoal Powder (activated) 25g","offer_id":61736163541322,"sku":"MSCHARC25","price":2.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Baldwins Charcoal Powder (activated) 100g","offer_id":61736163574090,"sku":"MSCHARC100","price":8.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Baldwins Charcoal Powder (activated) 250g","offer_id":61736163606858,"sku":"MSCHARC250","price":17.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Baldwins Charcoal Powder (activated) 500g","offer_id":61736163639626,"sku":"MSCHARC500","price":27.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/8537\/5818\/files\/MSCHARC-activated-charcoal-2020.jpg?v=1782919114"},{"product_id":"natures-answer-charcoal-90-vegetable-capsules","title":"Natures Answer Charcoal 90 Vegetable Capsules","description":"\u003cp\u003eNaturally promote detoxification and waste elimination.Activated Purified Carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients\u003cbr\u003e\nVegetable cellulose, rice flour, calcium silicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree of sugar, salt, yeast, egg and wheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaution: Activated Charcoal may absorb medications (such as heart drugs or birth control) if taken at the same time.
