VIVADORIA Activated Charcoal Powder -Coconut Shell Derived Food Grade (1.5 oz Glass Jar)

This is a truly fantastic product! Whilst on holiday last year had the opportunity to try charcoal bead - absolutely delicious but couldn’t find it anywhere locally so decided to make my own. This is perfect! You only need 1-2 teaspoons per recipe so this little tub will last well. No real obvious taste - certainly not overwhelming or anything. Take care when handling - if you spill any it goes a long way and gets everywhere lol!! I’m glad I got it in a screw-top jar/tub and not a bag! If you are researching for cooking - stop scrolling- this is the product you need!!

I like that this comes in a glass container and not a toxic plastic container.

I purchased this because it supposedly removes toxins when consumed, but I’ve tried it a few other ways. I’ve found certain uses work better for me (#2 &3), so overall am happy with the versatility and “results”. 1. Drinking on an empty stomach. I mixed it with water and drank it first thing in the morning (didn’t eat for 1-2 hours after). Did this about 1-2x a week for about a month, but didn’t notice much difference. 2. Applying topically to remove oils. Mixing with a dash of water and using as a body scrub or mask helped remove oil/sweat. Downside is getting it fully removed requires attention to detail, but toner or rubbing alcohol help. 3. Consuming after food intolerances. I read charcoal was commonly used in hospitals to help with poisonings. There were two instances where I ate something that upset my stomach (likely allergic reaction), and 30 mins after drinking a dash of this with water, I felt significantly better. (I’m not a doctor) 4. Teeth whitening. Used once and helped remove stains, but supposedly it can strip the enamel since it’s abrasive. It has a weird texture if you consume it, but you only need a small amount. Be sure to rinse the glass right after since it stains (and didn’t come out in the dishwasher).

Zwart poeder is dit. Zeker geen geactiveerde houtskool. Het bruist niet in water en doet dus niks. Het kan een fabrieksfout zijn maar let op of het poeder in water bruist de eerste tellen. Zo niet dan is het dus een fout product.

This product is 100 percent tasteless. I drank it in water. It has a tiny grit but super fine. It is not difficult to drink at all. (Granted don’t over do it with the ratio of liquid and charcoal.) I brushed my teeth with it about 3-4 times. My mouth felt really clean and it did seem to whiten my teeth a little after just a few uses. The grit is so fine (much more than baking soda—so I recommend over that) I did not feel I was damaging my enamel. I do advise caution not to use daily for too long since I have concerns this could draw out calcium from your teeth as it has a magnetic (adsorption) quality. I am not qualified to say either way, but I would play it safe. Same holds for its use internally. Do your research on activated charcoal.
