Viva Doria Activated Charcoal Powder, Hardwood Derived, Food Grade, 1.2 Oz Glass Jar

I am returning to purchase this again, I love love LOVED it! I used it to brush my teeth several times a week, was told my smile was brighter by multiple people. & I even used it to help clear my body out! A scoop of it in my water bottle once every other day and I felt like it was a magnet for toxins. Cleared me out.

I bought this to make black pasta for Halloween and it was a hit in my house hold. The pasta had no after taste and a little bit went a long way. I also use it to brush my by teeth. Very effective, great quality.

First of all, it is a VERY fine powder, so if you are a neat freak, this probably will not be for you. It is messy, but it's easy to clean up. I use it to brush my teeth. I have tried it in my coffee once, but I found it too gritty. I have also washed my face with it, I mix with my cleanser and im amazed at how bright my face was after using. I did apply all over my body, honestly, I didn't know what I was doing LOL needless to say, that was a messy adventure. I just stick with brushing my teeth lol. Keep in mind, all of the white splatters on your mirror from brushing your teeth...yea you'll have black splatters. Easy wipe off!! Overall great product and I will buy again.

So, I gave Activated Charcoal Powder a shot, and it's been quite an interesting journey. Here's my personal take on this unique product:Pros:Pure Goodness: I appreciate that this charcoal powder is sourced from natural coconut shells and doesn't contain any nasty additives. It's reassuring to know that I'm using something pure and safe.Multifunctional: This stuff is like a Swiss Army knife in my wellness arsenal. I've used it for teeth whitening (it works surprisingly well), as a face mask ingredient, and even for an occasional detox (after consulting with my healthcare professional, of course). Its versatility is a huge plus.Teeth Whitening Magic: If you're looking for a natural teeth whitening solution, this powder has got you covered. It zaps away stains and leaves your pearly whites noticeably brighter in just a few uses.Cons:A Bit Messy: I won't sugarcoat it; working with charcoal powder can get a tad messy, especially when applying it for teeth whitening. But a little post-application cleanup isn't the end of the world.Texture Quirk: The fine powder can feel a bit gritty on your teeth and skin, which might not be everyone's cup of tea.In a nutshell, this Activated Charcoal Powder is like a natural wellness secret waiting to be uncovered. It's got some quirks, but the benefits, especially for teeth whitening and detoxing, make it well worth it. If you're into holistic wellness, this product is worth giving a shot.

Value for money, effectiveness

Got this on advice from my sister to treat a bad spider bite. Simple, make a paste, apply twice a day and cover with bandaid. Three weeks later all the swelling and inflammation was gone and I have only a small grey spot remaining. Good stuff.

So far looks good. Definitely very fine ad mentioned in reviews which I expected. I can't speak to the digestive part but did use for toothpaste and it worked well. Only disappointed the jar is plastic not glass as mentioned in review and description. I'd like to detox and plastic is a toxin I'd rather not ingest but that's the world today.I will update after trying to make face mask and supplement. I'll just add to veggie capsules.

I think this charcoal did the job I wanted it to do. I could feel I was having more tarter build up around my teeth and wasn't ready to go get my teeth cleaned. I also wanted to pull some of the coffee, red wine, and whiskey stains off my teeth. I do drink tons of water, but those three things seem to stain teeth so easily. I have tried bleach trays, strips, and etc. They always work just fine, but they make my teeth so sensitive that it isn't worth it. I also don't like putting that stuff on my teeth just for the yucky factor. I have also tried using coconut oil to rinse out your mouth. What is that called? Oil pulling?? Anyway, I gagged and again thought it wasn't worth it. So, I was left just trying to find whitening toothpaste that didn't leave my sensitive and buying lipsticks that didn't make my teeth look more yellow. I realize I could give up the things staining my teeth, but who are we kidding???!!!! Lol!!Enter in this charcoal product.I'm loving it. Yes, it is messy. Be oh so careful opening the tub EVERY SINGLE TIME. I highly recommend doing this after you get out of shower, while on a towel, leaning deep into the sink. Oh! And don't sneeze! If you follow those directions, you should be fine.I read up on "why charcoal". The whole premise behind it is it should bind to substances in your mouth and then you can rinse them away. I found this to be completely accurate. The charcoal stuck to the tarter and pulled it off my teeth, along with a bit of the stains. I found the first time I used it I had to scrub it off more around the bottom edges of my teeth were tarter builds up. The next 4 times I used it it didn't do that. The reason is my teeth were cleaner every time and less to bind to.I normally feel like I need to brush my teeth twice before I get all the coffee out of my mouth, but brushing with the charcoal makes my mouth feel so much cleaner. I have that after dentist clean feeling every time I use this stuff.I DO NOT think this stuff can substitute for a dentist or teeth cleaning, but I think when I sit in the chair there will be a lot less tarter to clean.Also, i think for what it does the price is great. I plan to make a charcoal face mask with it.
