activated Charcoal powder
Charcoal can be produced from a variety of sources, including peat, coal, wood, coconut shell, and petroleum. It has been used medicinally for gastrointestinal ailments such as upset stomach and flatulence. Activated charcoal has been reported to be effective at absorbing potential toxins and poisons after accidental ingestion, but it is important to seek medical attention first if you suspect this. Charcoal is 'activated' by increasing its surface area via heating or with an activating agent, like zinc chloride.
