Volcanic Water
The west coast of the United States from California to Washington to British Columbia lie a string of active volcanoes. This area is known a the Cascade Volcano Arc. In this active area there are many springs with unique and rich mineral content. From here we get some of the purest and therapeutic waters that provide essential minerals for optimal health.
Water Quality and Sources
The rise in bottle water also brings into question their quality, there is spring, purified, mineral enhanced, "mineral water", reverse osmosis, distilled etc . . .
Artesian water is water from a confined aquifer which flows to the surface naturally. The water is under "positive" pressure and flows to the surface with pumping or mechanical support.
Mineral water is water that contains the minimum of 250 parts per million of dissolved solids. Mineral water often comes from a mineral spring, over time some of these have become quite well known. Places like Vichy, France and Bath, England being the most well known. Mineral waters can range from 250 up to 2500 parts per million of dissolved solids. The minerals in true mineral water must be present naturally and cannot be added.
Spring water, comes from an underground source that flows naturally to the earth’s surface. Spring water may also be "mineral water" if on its journey it accumulates the required mineral content of 250 ppm. Minerals become dissolved as the water moves through rocks on it journey to the surface. The unique terrain of the region where the spring is located determines the minerals profile. True spring water must be collected directly at the source to be labeled spring water.
Purified water is municipal source which has gone through a purification process. Often minerals are added for taste not for therapeutic value.There are many such brands of water on the market which use deceptive marketing implying they are 'natural' but buyer beware.
Volcanic Mineral Water
The two main minerals in Volcanic Water are magnesium and zinc. It has a sweet high pH of 7.24, clean mouth-filling taste; bottled as a mineral supplement beginning in the 1870?s. Magnesium-rich mineral waters are not easy to find, but they are out there. Volcanic Minerals ™ 100% Natural Mineral Refresher ™ is one of very few supplements on the market in its natural mineral state. Most other liquid supplements supply their function through chemical additives, and are frequently loaded with synthetic ingredients as well as caffeine, sugar, preservatives, and added color.
NOTHING IS ADDED, NOTHING IS TAKEN AWAY!
Historically, the 100% Natural Mineral Refresher ™ was sought out as a “digestif” for it's calming and beneficial effects on the digestive system. It's delicious taste makes it a perfect complement to food, wine, and spirits as a refreshing and functional alternative to today's often sodium laden bottled waters most of which provide little health benefit.
Current science has focused even more on the need for magnesium in our diet to ensure proper cardiac, nervous system, electrolyte uptake, and essential bodily functions.
