This product is derived from a special high-quality grade charcoal.
Activated charcoal is a form of charcoal which has been specially treated to create an especially high surface area. Technically, any form of carbon, not just charcoal, can be used to make activated carbon products, but charcoal is one of the most common sources for activated carbon. There are a wide range of uses for activated charcoal, ranging from water filtration to the treatment of poisoning. Activated charcoal is often included in products like filters which can be bought in the store, and it is also possible to buy activated charcoal alone in bulk.
The most common way to produce activated charcoal is to heat it. Heating causes the gases inside to escape, leaving behind an extremely porous, lightweight substance. Under magnification, a pellet of activated charcoal looks sort of like a rumpled pile of fabric, with each twist and fold providing more surface area. The large surface area of activated charcoal is what makes it so very useful.
