How does it work? Activated Charcoal is a fine black, odourless, tasteless powder made from various materials including bamboo, coconut husk. It has a porous surface made up of millions of microscopic pores which trap toxins and chemicals and a negative electric charge that draws positive charged toxins and gas to bond with it. This reaction where elements bind to a surface is known as adsorption. What is it effective for? With over 4000 substances that charcoal adsorbs effectively, it is easier to list what charcoal does not adsorb effectively.  Some of those are: - Alcohol (beer, wine, hard liquor, ethyl alcohol, ethanol, methanol, etc.) - Cyanide - Ethylene glycol - Iron - Lithium - Mineral acids - Alkaline substances (most degreasing, cleaning products)    Adsorption of bacteria and viruses Firstly, activated charcoal is adsorbent and not absorbent. Studies have found that the activated charcoal showed a lower binding capacity...

The signs of ageing can be slowed down, but first, we need to understand why they occur.Collagen is a fibrous type of protein. In combination with elastin, it connects and supports other bodily tissues, such as skin, bone, tendons, muscles, and cartilage. It also supports the internal organs and is even present in teeth. There are more than 25 types of collagens that naturally occur in the body. It makes up about 25 percent of the total amount of proteins in the body.Often, collagen is discussed in relation to the skin. It works with elastin and keratin to provide the skin with strength, flexibility, and resilience. As people age, collagen degradation occurs at an estimated rate of 1.5% per annum, eventually resulting in wrinkles. It is,...
