How it works:
Activated charcoal specifically binds to volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), trimethylamine (TMA), and bacterial endotoxins—the primary compounds responsible for body odor and bad breath.
The evidence:
The porous structure of activated charcoal traps these compounds through chemical bonding (hydrogen, ionic, and covalent bonds), preventing them from being released through your breath, sweat, and skin.
Key benefits:
- Captures sulfur compounds that cause bad breath
- Binds to trimethylamine (the compound responsible for body odor)
- Eliminates bacterial toxins before they reach your skin
