6. Better heart health

Activated charcoal aids in lowering the levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and total lipids in the brain, liver and blood. In a study conducted on patients with high cholesterol, they took activated charcoals 3 times per day. Consequently, the patients demonstrated a 25% reduction in total cholesterol levels and doubled their LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio. Moreover, a dose of activated charcoal everyday helps in preventing sclerosis or the abnormal hardening in the coronary and heart blood vessels.
