What’s Inside Your Water? Minerals, pH, and Real Biological Value

Описание: We all drink water — but what’s really in your water besides H2O?

In this Science Story, we uncover why not all bottled water is the same and why “biological value” — the minerals your body can actually use — matters more than purity.

You’ll learn:
• The difference between natural and artificial alkaline water
• How to read water labels: TDS, pH, bicarbonate, and metasilicic acid
• Why silica (metasilicic acid) supports skin, joints, and connective tissues
• The ideal natural mineral profile:
– TDS: 100 to 500 mg per liter
– pH: 7.5 to 8.5
– Bicarbonate: 100 to 300 mg per liter
– Metasilicic acid: over 10 mg per liter
– Heavy metals: none

Case study: a Vietnamese natural alkaline water that exceeds every benchmark — with pH 9.1, TDS 311, and metasilicic acid 121 mg per liter.

Key takeaway:
Choosing water isn’t just about “clean.” It’s about the minerals that build your health from the inside out.
