It does whiten teeth for sure, but long term use can erode enamle so be smart. Don't use it once your teeth have gotten whiter. I use it about a couple of weeks a year. Also, it doesn't get teeth white-white, but it does lighten a few shades.

Thank you for sharing this video. Yes, our people have been using a form of activated charcoal called "Sim" for centuries. I would like to put that in small marketing parcels and sell them in country and export it overseas. Greetings from the nation of Kambaramba villages, Sepik River in Papua New Guinea!

I'm thinking I'm going to try this for my sore throat that comes and goes that I can't seem to shake naturally, by gargling with it...also when taking internally is there any chance of not taking enough to get the toxins totally out of your system, are you suppose to just take it once a day and for how long...and how do you know when you've gotten all the toxins out of your system ? Thank you for this video!... If you're store wasn't so far from my house up here at Lake Conroe I sure would visit it !

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

It just depends on what toxins you are clearing as to how long you need to take it. I am currently taking it for toxic mold and that I will be clearing from my body for at least the next year or so. When taking activaated charcoal any longer than 10days you have to make sure to replinish with multivitamins and minerals and give it a break occassionally. You have to listen to your body to know when to stop

[@maureenvos5111]

Suggestion: talk about fast hair growth shampoo to double hair growth.

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

yes :) Charcoal is great at cleansing the hair and getting rid of shampoo and hair product build-up as well as cleansing excess oil build up. Because of this cleansing it can help the hair to grow buy giving it room and an oil free scalp :)

[@michaelnielsen7627]

Good video. Can you take it every day or just a few times a week ?

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

You can take it everyday for a few weeks but then you have to stop.what. I usually recommend is 5 days on and 2 days off. Doing this regularly will help.

[@victoriaschell2225]

Whats the shelf life of activated charcoal? How to store it?

[@GrammaPatriot]

I just started taking AC that i ordered and the veg capsules are 400 mg. Im using it as a binder for the food grade DE im using for parasites. Ive had a couple of good bm’s, and dont feel crampy or anything, but is 400 mg ok when the directions say to take 4 capsules daily preferably with a meal? I take all four (1600 mg) at the same time, is that harmful or should i spread them throughout the day?

[@michellesunday1880]

I take my activated charcoal at night. It doesn't send me to the bathroom at night. How long should I continue to take it? Is it safe to take for an extended period of time? I have been suffering from toxicity for a long time and activated charcoal is the only thing that has helped with the symptoms.. Thank you for any help you can give.1❤

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

Hi Michelle- It's a good idea to give it a break 1 or 2 days a week. Doing it this way you can take it ongoing for a very very long time. You just have to remember to replinish your vitamins and nutrients. And sometimes some people need to add some potassium if you are doing it more than 6months+

[@michellesunday1880]

Hi There! I just discovered your video on activated charcoal - does it help remove toxic heavy metals such as lead and mercury?

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

Yes it can a little but there are other things that can do this better such as chlyoraphil water, cilantro essential oil ect

[@sayunasoulmesseng839]

Yes and also activated Zeolite clinoptilite, but charcoal good tostart with, dont recommend starting with zeolite on toxic body will be too much strain without cleansing first.

Toxic black mold has made me have malabsorption so I've gotten kinda skinny just wondering what time should I take activated charcoal so I can still absorb nutrients and how to gain weight?

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

You want to take it 2 hours away from food and meds. most ppl do best in the morning or afternoon. Have you worked on healing your gut since being in mold? do you use probiotics? this can help with the malabsorption issue

I've heard it can work for cancer but can't find any details on that.

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

It generally helps with cancers that are driven from mold. Which is more common than you think.

[@Wonderwall36]

Does it work for heavy metals, mercury etc?

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

it can help a little bit of heavy metal detoxing but you have to make sure the activated charcoal you are using is pure

[@spinflames3437]

can it be used to remove pesticides (from food) in the body?

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

yes :) Along with other things such as milk thistle, dandelion, turmeric

[@bogeyjunior2]

Dosage question: my bottle of activated charcoal says a dose is 1200 mg (two pills). You say 25 to 100 mg is an appropriate dosage. Help! Is 1,200 too much? And if so, what might be the negative side effects?

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

Dosage can be confusing for many reasons . It depends on how fine the charcoal is processed. If you are using a bottle follow what that bottle says. I generally fill my own capsules or use it in powder form so I know there is nothing else added to it

[@michaelnielsen7627]

I started taking activated charcoal, but every time it makes me feel weird. Like headache and just uncomfortable. Have you seen cases like this before ?

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

Yes. It's very likely that it is detoxing something strong (like mold) and you need to back it waaaay down for your dosage and slooooowly make your way up

[@michaelnielsen7627]

@@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554 okay. I will try this then 🤞🏻

[@learnandspeakenglishwithme8953]

What dosage do you need to use for detoxing?

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

It depends on alot of factors. if you are using it for detoxing and you're really sick and your detox pathways are blocked then you have to go low and slow. 1/4 -1/2tsp daily. if you are just doing normal maintenance a typical adult body can do 1-3 tsp daily.

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

Sometimes people have to take smaller doses. And gradually increase it over time. It depends on your detox pathways. Because it can affect some people really strong more than others if you're sensitive.

I bought activated charcoal yesterday , I started with one tablet and then two this morning before food and medicine for two hours.. Could I please ask how soon does it start working to remove side effects of gluten? I also am taking homeopathic probiotic and glutamine. Many thanks 😊

[@naturallivingorganicfoodco4554]

You may want to increase that to more like 3-4 tablets. It is working but those darn effects can linger from gluten. YOu may want to also try taking a detox bath in 1lb of himalyan sea salt and stay in it for 45min+. this will help as well

[@angelaconvery7816]

I did take Epsom salt bath last night and stayed in it for 25 minutes. It’s the dizziness off balance that scares me as I was doing so well. I am using the bathroom is that the point of it to totally purge although it is a little painful and exhausting.. many thanks

Apologies I forgot to say I have Hashimotos and discovered six months ago I can’t tolerate gluten. My vertigo and other symptoms were settling until I accidentally took gluten over the weekend. Many thanks

Not neccesarrily as Charcoal targets toxins that are mostly "not from nature" or "not meant to be in your body". THC that is a plant that the body recognizes like other herbs. You may have better luck with large amounts of cranberry for THC
