Activated Bamboo Charcoal
ACTIVATED BAMBOO SUPPORTS DETOX AND DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Activated charcoal promotes internal cleansing and a healthy digestive system. Dr. Tennant’s® Activated Bamboo Charcoal is like a cleansing sponge with millions of tiny pores soaking up and trapping toxins and impurities as it moves down the GI tract detoxifying everything in its path.
Imagine the surface area of an entire football field to soak up toxins and impurities. This is approximately the surface area for three capsules of Dr. Tennant’s® Activated Bamboo Charcoal.
WHAT IS DR. TENNANT'S® ACTIVATED BAMBOO CHARCOAL?
Activated charcoal is a fine, odorless, black powder often used in emergency rooms to treat overdoses because of its toxin-absorbing properties. The body is unable to absorb charcoal, so it is eliminated along with all the bound toxins it attracts as it moves through the GI tract.
Activated Bamboo Charcoal is made using a unique process that creates millions of micropores on the surface (See image below). This provides a large surface area for molecules, ions, or atoms to bind and then be removed from the body.
WHAT MAKES DR. TENNANT'S® ACTIVATED BAMBOO CHARCOAL SPECIAL?
This superior form of charcoal is made from bamboo which has been harvested after it has grown for many years, providing a higher-quality, carbon-rich raw material than the more common coconut and wood charcoal available on the market. Bamboo charcoal production also produces significantly less pollutants compared to standard charcoal, making it a much more eco-friendly source.
Harvested bamboo is burned at very high temperatures. This superheating activation process creates many tiny pores with binding sites in the charcoal molecules. Superheating bamboo charcoal makes many more pores and binding sites on each molecule than other charcoals, therefore, increasing its overall surface area for binding to occur. This is what makes bamboo charcoal a superior choice.
- Highest quality carbon-rich material from bamboo
- Cleaner than the more common coconut, wood or other standard charcoals
- Great for travel and promoting a healthy digestive system
- Coconut-free
HOW DOES DR. TENNANT'S® ACTIVATED BAMBOO CHARCOAL HELP WITH DETOX?
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TAKE DR. TENNANT'S® ACTIVATED BAMBOO CHARCOAL?
-
Avoid taking charcoal simultaneously with supplements or medication. Space your supplement intake at least an hour apart and your medications a few hours apart. This precaution prevents charcoal from binding to them and rendering them inactive.
-
Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as charcoal absorbs water. This helps prevent constipation and aids in eliminating more toxins, regulating bowel movements.
-
Incorporate enough fiber in your diet to facilitate the movement of activated bamboo charcoal powder through the intestines for elimination as feces. Include fiber-rich vegetables to maintain a healthy digestive system.
-
For optimal detoxification, take charcoal before going to bed, approximately 3 hours after having dinner.
-
If you have leaky gut or food sensitivities, take charcoal with meals. The activated bamboo charcoal will help reduce inflammatory activity and lessen food sensitivity reactions.
-
Ensure adequate mineral intake, as activated bamboo charcoal may also pull minerals out of the body along with toxins. Consider supplementing with Dr. Tennant's® Raw Materials® minerals if necessary.
