These minerals include:
Magnesium - Failure to take in enough magnesium over time leads to high blood pressure and osteoporosis.
Calcium - Adults should consume 1000-1200 mg of calcium per day. The human body needs calcium to develop strong teeth and bones.
Chloride and Bicarbonates - Both play a vital role in digestion and assist in keeping a pH balanced body.
Iron - Without Iron our blood transportation will not work well.
Sulfate - Also found in many different types of our tap waters and is used by our body as a cleaning and detoxifying agent. Responsible for our stronger skeletal system, including the strengthening of the teeth.
Tap water is also contaminated with pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, industrial solvents, pharmaceuticals, microplastics, etc. Once treated with chemicals, tap water has been found to have a great list of contaminants including:
1. Particles - sediment, rust, silt, asbestos, microplastics
2. Bacteria - e.coli, salmonella
3. Parasites - giardia, cryptosporidium
4. Metals - lead, arsenic, mercury, aluminum
5. Chemical - pharmaceuticals, pesticides, chlorine, ammonia, MTBE (petroleum byproducts), herbicides, trihalomethane, PFOA's (plastics), nitrates, fluoride.
A recent Harvard Study confirmed that children who live in areas with highly fluoridated water have "significantly lower" IQ scores that those who live in low fluoride areas.
"Bottled water is often no healthier than tap water, but it can be 10,000 times more expensive." - National Geographic, Emily Arnold researcher with the Earth Policy Institute.
"There have been high levels of bacteria found in bottled water leading to many recalls by widely known manufacturers. These findings indicated that the general perception that bottled water is safe and clean is not true." (Dr. Rocus R. Klont commented to Megan Rauscher, Reuters Health). The National Resources Defense Council reports that 1/3 of the brands tested had levels of bacteria, carcinogens and microplastics that exceeded purity guidelines.
It is no secret that plastic bottles have a very damaging impact on the environment and our planet but if you thought that the side-effects of using plastic bottles were only limited to damaging the planet, think again. Recent studies reveal that every sip of bottled water that are consumed contains dangerous levels of micropolastics that are a health hazard for humans.
In addition, most bottled water is stripped of minerals through a reverse osmosis or purification process. "Health Risks from drinking demineralized water is associated with a higher risk of fracture in children, certain neurodegenerative disease, pre-term birth, low weight at birth and some types of cancer." - World Health Organization

“Well water should be constantly tested for bacteria, nitrates, lead, arsenic, radon, uranium and certain other heavy metals. Wells are very susceptible to contamination.”
US News & World Report
“Warning: Your Drinking Water May Be Dangerous. Chemicals, gasoline, wastes- they’re all contaminating the nation’s water supplies far worse than anyone expected.”
Council on Environmental Quality
“Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine.”
National Geographic
“Pharmaceuticals, especially antibiotics and steroids, are widely present in the nation’s water supply."
EDF
"When chlorine is added to our water, it combines with natural compounds to form Trihalomethanes (THMs) ...cancer scientists believe THMs are responsible for the majority of human cancer in the US.”
Dr. Robert Carson University of Minnesota Researcher
"Breast cancer, which now affects one in every eight women in North America, has recently been linked to the accumulation of chlorine compounds in the breast tissue."
Over 70% of our body is made of water. Your body needs 1/2 of your body weight in ounces per day to stay hydrated. (Example: 200 lbs = 100 oz of water per day)
Studies show 75% of Americans Suffer from Chronic Dehydration. (American Medical Association) Chronic dehydration produces disease because all body functions depend on it.
Symptoms of Chronic Dehydration:
• Heartburn
• Headaches/Migraines
• Asthma/Allergies
• Constipation
• Arthirist Pain/Joint Pain
• Stress & Depression
• Weight Gain
• High Blood Pressure
• Dry Skin
• Hunger (over eating)
• Brain Fog (lack of mental clarity)
• Arthritis Pain/Joint Pain
• Lower Back Pain
Even small levels of dehydration can contribute to:
• Headaches
• Dizziness loss of concentration
• Muscle Cramps
On the contrary, proper hydration will:
• Help You Lose Weight
• Cure Heartburn
• Cure Asthma & Allergies
• Lower High Blood Pressure
• Make you Look and Feel Younger
• Serve as a Remedy for Headaches
• Reduce Risk of Cancer
Drinking natural alkaline water, which has a higher pH level, can neutralize acid in your bloodstream. Researchers say that alkaline water can help prevent disease, such as cancer and heart disease. In addition, pH balanced water (alkaline) combined with moderate exercise can go a long way to cleanse skin blemishes, puffiness, body odor, dark circles under eyes, etc.
An efficient multi-step water purification system removes the "bad" in the water while leaving the "good", while stabilizing the pH levels thus making the water alkaline.
When searching for a water purification system, look for one that removes all harmful bacteria, parasites, metals, lead, arsenic, bad taste, chlorine, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, sodium fluoride, etc.
Common water filters including carbon filters, such as faucet and refrigerator pitchers, do not stop bacteria or cysts, they can actually grow mold and other harmful bacterias.
Others, like reverse osmosis systems and distillers strip the water from even good minerals while also making the water flat and tasteless.
Ultra Pure’s water purification - filtration systems are tested and proven. Advanced technology turns your tap water into crystal clear, great tasting water while keeping all the necessary minerals in it - for just pennies a day.
