Not sure what you’re looking for?
¿Por qué muchos de nosotros disfrutamos de una excursión por el bosque? El aire puro y fresco es incomparable. Quién puede culparnos por disfrutar de este sencillo placer, cuando nuestro entorno actual nos expone a tantas toxinas silenciosas que aceleran el envejecimiento.
Entonces, ¿qué podemos hacer para facilitar y apoyar la vía natural de desintoxicación de nuestro organismo?
Irónicamente, los bosques de bambú pueden contener la respuesta a una vida más limpia, en forma de aglutinante de desintoxicación-.carbón de bambú activado.
¿QUÉ SON ESTAS TOXINAS?
Before we investigate activated bamboo charcoal as a possible solution to help get rid of these toxins, we need to be aware of them in our daily lives. Now in this day and age, I think we are aware of most of them. We try to use preventative measures, as well as alternative natural options, however, we are still left very exposed.
Apart from heavy metals our havens of safety may contain mould-producing toxic compounds called mycotoxins. We could even be ingesting toxins like BPA’s or Bisphenol A, the building blocks of polycarbonate plastics often used for food and beverage storage which seeps into our food and drink.
"La toxicidad de los metales pesados -procedentes de metales como el mercurio, el aluminio, el cobre, el cadmio, el níquel, el arsénico y el plomo- representa una de las mayores amenazas para nuestra salud y bienestar..."

All toxins are harmful, but heavy metals are hazardous. In addition to being damaging in their own right, they are also neurotoxins (a poison that disrupts nerve function and causes the immune system to malfunction). Toxic metals can be difficult to detect. As a result, it is very well hidden within us, not revealing itself unless we are actively looking for it.
¿Puede nuestro cuerpo eliminar toxinas de forma natural?
Glutatión
Our bodies produce naturally our own detoxifier called
glutathione (3 amino acids: namely cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine). Our bodies naturally produce glutathione, which binds to toxins and pulls them out of our systems to flush them safely and effectively. But when our body lacks glutathione, toxins linger in the bloodstream and are stored as fat, compromising our immune system. Toxic load, stress, exposure to heavy metals and ageing all rapidly deplete our glutathione supply. Lucky for us we can supplement glutathione to help our bodies combat these challenges.
Gen GSTM1
While some of us are very good at detoxifying mercury and other toxins, some of us may have genetic variations (called polymorphisms) that make us more prone to metal toxicity. We lack the missing gene GSTM1 function — one of the most important genes needed in the process of creating and recycling glutathione in the body.
GSTM1 is a glutathione S-transferase gene (also known as GST gene) which is a family of enzymes involved in metabolism and in making toxic compounds less harmful to the body. It is responsible for Phase two detox, the part of the detox process when reactive molecules and free radicals are converted to substances that can be excreted by the urine, faeces, or sweat.
When GST genes malfunction, a problem arises. The GST genes can be deleted entirely (homozygously; also called nulls or deletions). A "null" GST gene is not functional. Between 20% to 50% of people have a GST null gene or missing GSTM1. One-third of our population that suffers from chronic disease is missing GSTM1.
You can support GST genes by boosting your glutathione levels as mentioned above and research suggests that you can support GST genes (and Phase 2 detox) by consuming bitter herbs that promote liver health—such as milk thistle and dandelion. Learning to support your system and how to detoxify are all ways to support your GST genes.
Órganos de desintoxicación
Las toxinas son expulsadas de nuestro cuerpo por los siguientes órganos:
- Los pulmones y los cilios (pequeñas fibras) expulsan los contaminantes. La mucosidad atrapa cualquier partícula que no deba estar en los pulmones, te la tragas o la toses y desaparece. Los fumadores deben saber que el tabaco afecta a los cilios y les perjudica.
- The liver filters our blood to neutralize, and help our body get rid of, potentially harmful substances.
- Los riñones también filtran la sangre y eliminan los productos de desecho de la digestión y otras funciones corporales a través de la orina.
- The large intestine is an organ that has evolved over time as a self-cleaning tool. After your small intestine absorbs the nutrients from what you eat and pushes them into your bloodstream, your large intestine gets rid of whatever waste remains.
Our ageing bodies may need extra help effectively excreting those toxins if our detoxification pathways are already compromised. A possible solution may be detoxification (whereby a poison or toxin is removed from the body). This is where toxin binders come into play, in particular, activated bamboo charcoal.
¿Qué son exactamente los captadores de toxinas?
¿Qué son estos captadores de toxinas? Es exactamente lo que sugiere su nombre, en esencia, se unen eficazmente a las toxinas de su cuerpo y ayudan a eliminarlas.
Los productos aglutinantes de desintoxicación funcionan por:
- Eliminar la acumulación de toxinas
- Inducción de la eliminación de biopelículas en el intestino
- Aliviar los gases y la hinchazón
- Prevención de intoxicaciones agudas
¿QUÉ PODRÍA PASAR SI NO HAY AGLUTINANTES?
Toxicidad de los metales pesados
Despite the fact that heavy metal toxicity is quite common, it is not commonly diagnosed. Several heavy metal neurotoxins can inflame and irritate our central nervous system (especially our brain), causing symptoms such as memory loss, brain fog, fatigue, and depression. As well as inflaming our digestive tract, toxic heavy metals release poisons into the gut.
Furthermore, heavy metals serve as food for viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens in our bodies. This can, for example, result in an overgrowth of bacteria in the gut, a condition known as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). Epstein-Barr and shingles are both caused by toxic heavy metals; symptoms include tingling, numbness, fatigue, anxiety, heart palpitations, ringing in the ears, dizziness and vertigo, along with back pain, neck pain, knee pain, foot pain, and other pains that are often mistaken for other conditions.
High exposure to toxic metals such as cadmium (used to make batteries and coat iron and steel). According to research studies, people are exposed to cadmium through contaminated food, tobacco smoke, and polluted air near industrial areas, which could prematurely age their cells and cause a number of diseases.

prueba de exposición a metales pesados en casa, mediante muestras de orina y sangre, detectan los metales pesados más comunes, como plomo, arsénico, mercurio y cadmio.
Recirculación enterohepática
Without binders, your body is vulnerable to "enterohepatic recirculation." This occurs when toxins are not "bound" for excretion through the bowels but instead go through continuous cycles of processing by your liver, reabsorption by your intestines, and then recirculation by your liver. Your body goes through a lot of strain in trying to detoxify itself as a result of this repeated process and as discussed coupled with the physical changes in our liver’s size and blood flow brought about by ageing the process of eliminating toxins is reduced.
Los aglutinantes evitan que su cuerpo se atasque en la repetición. Los aglutinantes pueden eliminar eficazmente las toxinas y ayudar a detener la recirculación enterohepática cuando se utilizan para la desintoxicación.
Biopelículas
You can think of biofilms as a protective shield that protects pathogens from being detected by your immune system. It is common for pathogens to adhere to the gut lining and create physical barriers around themselves with heavy metals and polysaccharides.
This allows pathogens to survive inside your body, where they continue to produce toxic byproducts. In conventional stool samples, biofilms also prevent pathogens from being identified.
So, the only way to effectively rid your body of these pathogens is to first break down the biofilm sheltering them, and then clear out the released toxins.
The first step is to equip your body with the tools it needs to bind and eliminate released biotoxins. By using binder supplements you can induce the removal of biofilms that cause dysbiosis in the gut, meaning that there are more harmful bacteria in it than beneficial bacteria.
¿QUÉ ES EL CARBÓN DE BAMBÚ ACTIVADO EN POLVO?
Activated bamboo charcoal powder is a fine odourless black powder made from carbon-based organic materials such as bamboo. Charcoal bricks or burned food do not contain this substance.
Activated Bamboo Charcoal is the binder we will be focussing on and this amazing product will be on our
virtual shelves soon.
The special process that activates the charcoal creates lots of holes of various sizes and crevices on the charcoal particles increasing the surface area and available binding sites.
The activation process can double the surface area to a whopping 1,200 square meters (1,435 square yards) per gram.
This large surface area allows for the absorption of heavy metals, chemicals, and other toxins.
¿POR QUÉ EL CARBÓN DE BAMBÚ ACTIVADO ES UN AGLUTINANTE?
Como se ha mencionado, el proceso de activación crea millones de microporos en la superficie, lo que les permite unirse a moléculas, iones o átomos y eliminarlos de las sustancias disueltas. Esta es una de las razones por las que se puede utilizar para la filtración de agua y por qué es tan eficaz como tratamiento para eliminar toxinas y venenos.
¿CÓMO SE PRODUCE EL CARBÓN DE BAMBÚ ACTIVADO EN POLVO?
Mencionamos que los bosques pueden ser la solución para nosotros y por eso
Youth & Earth ha optado por abastecerse de nuestro carbón vegetal de bambú en medio de los bosques de bambú de Japón, en las montañas de Miyazaki. Aquí el bambú orgánico se llama
Bambú moso y prospera en este clima subtropical perfecto sin ningún producto químico.
fertilizantes y en aire puro libre de contaminación.
Embarquémonos pues en un breve viaje sobre cómo se fabrica el carbón activado de bambú.
(Los detalles específicos son exclusivos del carbón de bambú activado RU que estará disponible como producto de Youth & Earth , pero en general, las etapas mencionadas son similares a la mayoría).
El bambú se compra a agricultores locales que lo cosechan en bosques naturales. El bambú se corta y se le quitan los nudos. Se deja secar de forma natural durante más de 3 meses antes del proceso de ahumado.
The smoking process is done by skilled craftsmen using specialized techniques. The bamboo is smoked in Earthen furnaces that are very delicate and difficult to control the temperature but produce high-quality bamboo charcoal, making it the best manufacturing method. It is only natural firewood and bamboo that are used to fuel the fire. In the process, no gas, oil, or chemicals are used.
Bamboo wood is burned for three days at a very high temperature between 800 and 1000°C. It actually has an electric charge and will conduct electricity. You could do a bulb test, this indicates that the charcoal is activated and of good quality.
The producers require one month's work. The bamboo charcoal activated carbon should appear black with metallic or iridescent reflections. If two bamboo bars of coals are shaken together, they should sound metallic, this will indicate carbon of good quality.
¿POR QUÉ ELEGIR CARBÓN ACTIVADO DE BAMBÚ?
For thousands of years the Far East has used activated bamboo charcoal as a method of traditional water filtration and in ancient medicine for its’ antibacterial properties. It was applied to wounds and infections and even used to rid patients of poisons and toxins. It has a history of being a general detox agent.
El carbón de bambú activado en polvo tiene literalmente mil beneficios, tanto a nivel externo como interno, pero nos centraremos en los beneficios que ofrece cuando se consume.
1. Reduce la sobrecarga tóxica
Activated Bamboo Charcoal is considered a broad-spectrum binder that will bind a little bit of everything from toxins, vitamins and minerals. Activated charcoal can be used externally, for example, on the skin, or internally, through the digestive system. It works by essentially “mopping up” biofilm. According to research, daily use of activated charcoal reduces the body's toxic load by more than 60%.
Al ligar y limitar el cloro, las bacterias, los virus, las levaduras, las excreciones tóxicas, los subproductos metabólicos y otros productos de desecho del organismo, el carbón activado también puede mejorar la salud. Permite que las toxinas se eliminen suavemente a través del organismo en forma de heces, además de reducir las molestias asociadas a los problemas gastrointestinales.
Today studies reveal activated charcoal powder is more effective than stomach pumps for poisoned patients its effectiveness lies in its ability to bind and absorb almost any toxins. As charcoal cannot be absorbed by the body, toxins that bind to it leave the body through the faeces. Activated bamboo charcoal bulk can absorb nearly every kind of poison, with few exceptions.
2. Trata problemas gastrointestinales
As mentioned above it prevents the absorption of bacteria helping to prevent diarrhoea, yes it’s known as an antidiarrheal treatment and
what's more appealing is that it also helps
reduce gastrointestinal discomfort
such as intestinal gas, bloating, and abdominal cramps.
A study was conducted where activated charcoal won against a placebo and effectively reduced abdominal cramping and flatulence symptoms.
“You have a few options to relieve bloating and gas… Activated charcoal can be taken in capsule, liquid, or powder form, and since it is tasteless it can be mixed into a non-acidic juice of your preference.” - Carrie Lam, MD, a fellow of Anti-Aging, Metabolic, and Functional medicine and co-founder of Lam Clinic.
3. Puede reducir los niveles de colesterol
We are all aware of the two types of
cholesterol. There is good cholesterol (HDL, high-density lipoprotein) which you want a good amount in your system and there is bad cholesterol (LDL, low-density lipoprotein). You want as little of this in your system as possible. Now one of the main ways you can lower your levels of LDL cholesterol is through your diet.
Interestingly enough bamboo charcoal activated carbon has been reported to help some people with high cholesterol by lowering
LDL cholesterol levels. Scientific studies have shown that its benefits may match some of the benefits of prescription cholesterol medications. Studies have shown that it increases good cholesterol in the body while decreasing bad cholesterol by 25% in just four weeks.
4. Ayuda a los enfermos renales crónicos
Los beneficios para la salud del carbón de bambú activado en polvo son innegables. En las personas con enfermedad renal crónica, que son incapaces de eliminar los productos de desecho tan eficazmente como las personas con riñones sanos y puede ser útil en la eliminación de productos de desecho como la urea de los riñones. Pero su eficacia variará probablemente de una persona a otra. Hable siempre con un médico para saber si un medicamento o suplemento le beneficiará personalmente. Varios estudios han demostrado una relación, pero se necesita más investigación para confirmarlo.
A study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) shows how activated bamboo charcoal powder combined with a low protein diet can help treat kidney disease. A decrease in blood urea and creatinine levels were seen in many patients after using activated charcoal for almost a year.
5. Reduce la inflamación
El proceso de retrodifusión puede explicar por qué el carbón activado con carbón de bambú se utiliza para tratar dolencias de la piel como las erupciones cutáneas. Las propiedades purificadoras del carbón no se utilizan internamente, sino por vía tópica para curar la piel. La gente ha alabado sus beneficios para la salud en la curación de picaduras de arañas y mosquitos.
6. Reduce los olores
Trimethylaminuria (TMAU)
- also known as fish odour syndrome - causes unpleasant body odours. TMAU affects those who cannot transform fishy smells into non-fishy smells before they leak out in the urine. Due to this, a fishy smell accumulates and is released through sweat, urine, and breath.
Some
research suggests that activated bamboo charcoal powder may help with odour reduction due to its ability to bind and its porous surface that can absorb. More research is needed, but some research suggests that bamboo charcoal-activated carbon may help.
¿CUÁL ES LA MEJOR MANERA DE TOMAR CARBÓN DE BAMBÚ ACTIVADO?
-
Do not take simultaneously with supplements or medication. Space your supplement at least an hour apart and your medications a few hours apart. This is to prevent the charcoal from binding to them and rendering them inactive.
-
Drink a lot of water
as charcoal absorbs water. This will prevent constipation and it will help to eliminate more toxins and regulate your bowel movements.
-
Eat enough fibre
as it will help move activated bamboo charcoal powder through the intestines so that it may be eliminated from the body as faeces.
Maintain a healthy diet throughout the day by eating plenty of fibre-rich vegetables.
-
Lo ideal es tomarlo antes de acostarse aproximadamente unas 3 horas después de cenar para obtener métodos de desintoxicación puros.
-
Ttómelo con las comidas si tiene intestino permeable o sensibilidad alimentaria. El carbón activado con carbón de bambú ayudará a reducir la actividad inflamatoria y las reacciones de sensibilidad a los alimentos.
- Make sure you are getting enough minerals as the activated bamboo charcoal can pull minerals out of the body as well as toxins
¿ES SEGURO UTILIZAR CARBÓN DE BAMBÚ ACTIVADO?
The use of activated bamboo charcoal may also worsen symptoms of variegate porphyria, a genetic disease that affects the gut, skin, and nervous system.
Siempre se debe buscar ayuda médica para tratar intoxicaciones o sobredosis.
Before using activated bamboo charcoal, seek medical advice, especially if you are taking other medications as it may also reduce the absorption of some medications.
Even though activated bamboo charcoal powder hasn't been linked to birth defects or other health problems in babies, it's best to check with your doctor before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.
CONCLUSIÓN
We posed a question at the beginning of this article "What we can do to ease and support our body's natural detox pathway?" There seems to be a natural solution that has been used for healing for more than 3,000 years. Activated bamboo charcoal powder can help detoxify the body of harmful substances while gently aiding our gut’s health.
