What is activated charcoal powder?
Activated charcoal is a black, odorless, flavorless powder that has been used since ancient times to treat various ailments. It is a type of charcoal that’s processed to make it more porous and is not to be confused with the type of charcoal found in your grill!
Many people today use activated charcoal powder as a supplement to absorb toxins in the body.
What does this matcha collagen charcoal latte taste like?
