🕰️ Brief History

Activated charcoal has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and emergency care because of its strong adsorptive properties. During the 19th and 20th centuries, medical research expanded its use in hospitals and emergency rooms for certain poisoning and overdose situations due to its ability to bind substances in the gastrointestinal tract.

As interest in natural wellness and detox products increased, activated charcoal later became popular in supplements, digestive-health products, oral-care products, and skincare formulas. Powdered charcoal products gained attention because they allow flexible dosing and multiple household wellness uses.

Naturmade developed Naturmade Charco-Max High-Potency Activated Charcoal Powder 125g as part of its activated charcoal wellness range focused on digestive support and natural health products. Naturmade has operated in South Africa since 1977.
