Hi, I want to get some activated carbon in powder form for first aid uses and other uses (so not the premixed bottle at the Apteeki). Where can I buy this from?
And also clove oil.

Thanks!

activated carbon is used in audio industry (high end speakers - see KEF) to increase effective bass response while keep volume the same.

ah ok didnt know that

well its also used to neutralise accidental ingestion of toxins or poisons. the mixture from the pharmacy cost 25 euros a bottle, and they said u would need like 1-3 bottles for an adult if u were to use it for poisoning, so i was wondering if there was something cheaper. i mean its just activated carbon with water

o.

Hi!
You can buy activated carbon pills in a pharmacy, "Apteekki". CARBO MEDICINALIS 250 MG TABLETTI
- 50 pills about 10 e
- 150 pills about 17 e

If you need to prepare a liquid to cure a serious poisoning, the manufacturer recommends crushing 50-100 pills and diluting the powder in 0,5 liters of water. Always contact a doctor after first aid!

Cheaper than the ready made liquid, and the dry pills can be stored at home for a long time.

Hey thanks

I think it would work for stomach upsets or small food poisoning, so caps might be a good idea.

Hey Upphew, do you know if there is bentonite clay powder on that winemaking website too? I can't read the technical words in the menu so don't know what it would be listed under.

Thanks!

Didn't found when I briefly checked it out. What would you use it for (in wine making)? Didn't translate.google.com help?
