Activated charcoal has long been hailed for its detoxifying abilities, particularly for absorbing toxins, chemicals, and impurities in the body. Ozone, a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms, is known for its strong oxidizing power, often used in medical therapies and sanitation processes. When these two elements are combined, the result is **ozonated activated charcoal**, a powerful product thought to amplify the benefits of both.

This article delves into the health benefits of ozonated activated charcoal and explains how it is made.

How Ozonated Activated Charcoal Is Made

Activated charcoal is produced by heating carbon-rich materials, such as wood or coconut shells, in the absence of oxygen, creating a highly porous substance. These tiny pores increase the surface area, allowing activated charcoal to trap toxins and chemicals more effectively.

To create ozonated activated charcoal, activated charcoal is exposed to ozone gas under controlled conditions. Ozone (O₃) is generated by passing oxygen (O₂) through a high-voltage electrical discharge, which splits the oxygen molecules and allows them to recombine as ozone. This process results in a product that combines the adsorptive power of activated charcoal with the oxidizing, antimicrobial properties of ozone.

Now, let’s explore the potential health benefits of this compound.
