Activated charcoal is a black powder derived from non-toxic products such as coconut shells, olive stones, and bone char. Superheating the charcoal changes its structure, stripping it of any molecules that it has previously absorbed. This process also reduces the size of its pores and creates more holes in each of its molecules, creating a more porous material with a larger surface area and additional binding sites. The charcoal in Nature's Way Activated Charcoal 100 Capsules works by using its naturally negative electric charge to attract materials that are positively charged, such as those belonging to gases and toxins. This prevents them from being absorbed through the intestinal membrane and they are then naturally excreted.
