Q & A: Renewing Granulated Activated Charcoal
Charcoal question answered. Hi Buyactivatedcharcaol! I had a question on the granulated activated charcoal, the Pure Non-Scents as well as other granulated varieties.

I found that it indeed made it seem to work better after a washing. A: The washing may remove some film from the air, such as grease, that may have adhered to the activated charcoal, but you do not reactivate charcoal by washing […]

Activated Charcoal: Natural Odor Eliminator For Hunters
Charcoal question answered. Question: Hello, I try to keep my deer hunting clothes (most contain activated carbon) scent free by storing them in a scent free storage tote. Would your product, “Natural Odor Eliminator” help further eliminate or reduce odors if I placed a sachet of the product in my storage containers? If this product is helpful I would consider placing it in other containers that hold other gear I take in the woods such as a backpack, etc. Serious hunters, like myself, are overly concerned about keeping themselves; clothing and gear scent free. Some, if not all, would buy most anything that would provide an edge over a wary whitetail’s nose. […]

Can I mix activated charcoal with my coffee?
Charcoal questions answered: Coffee Coffee question From Kathy: Can I mix activated charcoal with my coffee in the mornings? It looks awful but will it be an issue? Answer: Sure, no problem……however, you know that caffeine is a drug and charcoal will adsorb it…. 🙂 Activated charcoal will adsorb most drugs so if you are on any medications you need to run it by your doctor and or pharmacist before taking. Also, charcoal does not work well in the presence of milk so if you add milk or cream to your beverage I would not recommend it (non dairy creamer or nut milks would work). Hope this helped. Kind regards, […]
