Summary
Dasani is a purified water product that includes added minerals such as magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, and salt, which are not naturally occurring in the source water. The use of municipal water as a source results in a penalty due to its lower perceived quality compared to natural sources like spring or aquifer water. Additionally, the presence of added minerals suggests a higher level of processing compared to more natural water products.
Key ingredients 4
Purified WaterNeutral
Purified water is the primary component of this product and is generally considered neutral in terms of health impact. It undergoes filtration and purification processes to remove impurities and contaminants, ensuring safety for consumption. However, it lacks the natural mineral content found in some spring waters.

Magnesium sulfate is added to enhance the mineral content of the water, providing a source of magnesium. It is typically used in small amounts and is considered safe for consumption. However, the levels present in bottled water are usually too low to offer significant health benefits.
Benefits
Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports muscle and nerve function, but the amounts in bottled water are minimal.
Potassium ChlorideNeutral
Potassium chloride is used to add potassium to the water, which is an essential electrolyte. It is generally safe in the small quantities used in bottled water. The processing involves dissolving the compound in water, which does not significantly alter its properties.
Benefits
Potassium is important for maintaining fluid balance and proper muscle function, though the amounts in bottled water are typically low.
SaltNeutral
Salt is added to enhance the taste and mineral content of the water. It is used in very small amounts, which are unlikely to impact health significantly. The processing involves dissolving the salt in water, which is a straightforward method.
