  • 1 young thai coconut coconut water and meat

  • Caveat: Charcoal can bind to medications a person needs--making them ineffective. Anyone taking medication do so at least 3 hours apart from drinking something with charcoal in it. The same goes for nutrients. Activated charcoal may also soak up the vitamins from food. Feel free to omit the charcoal to get the full health benefits from the other ingredients. I only used it for the cool color:)
