What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the bottled-water aisle, clipped into a gym bag, or grabbed from a cooler after a sweaty workout—its sport-cap and 23.7 fl oz size signal on-the-go hydration. The product projects a clean, health-focused and sporty vibe, but the reverse-osmosis treatment and added mineral salts (sodium bicarbonate, dipotassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, calcium chloride) reveal industrial processing and formulation rather than a simple natural spring water.

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Reverse osmosis processing, addition of multiple mineral salts and pH-adjusting agents, and packaged marketing as a functional alkaline product indicate industrial formulation and additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods.
