Summary
Smartwater alkaline is vapor distilled and contains added electrolytes like calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, which are beneficial for hydration and mineral balance. However, the inclusion of sodium selenate, which can be harmful in excess, slightly detracts from its overall health profile. The water is minimally processed, but the presence of additives and the potential risk of selenium toxicity influence its rating.
