ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

Activated charcoal is charcoal that has been treated to increase its ability to adsorb gases, liquids and substances dissolved directly in the digestive tract.

It is therefore widely used to treat poisoning in children by household products. Activated charcoal rapidly adsorbs toxic or irritant substances by attaching to them in the stomach and intestines.
