Summary
This purified drinking water includes added minerals like calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, which enhance its mineral content and contribute to hydration. However, the use of municipal water as a source results in a penalty due to potential contaminants and the need for purification. The product's minimal processing level is a positive aspect, but the lack of transparency regarding PFAS testing and potential microplastic presence in packaging slightly affects its overall rating.
