Ageing is a part of life, but we know our lifestyles and environment have a huge impact on the way and pace we age. The toxins we are exposed to through food, our homes and workplaces, and our environment, all contribute to pre-mature ageing and activated charcoal can help with some of this. Take two capsules per day after exposure to non-organic foods, heavy meals or after contact to other toxins. This supports better cognitive function, a reduction in brain fog, healthier kidney and liver function, and a healthier digestive tract.
