What You Should Know

You’d spot this in gym coolers, convenience-store fridges, or the water aisle as a grab-and-go option after a workout or during a long drive. The branding projects a clean, slightly luxurious wellness vibe aimed at hydration and performance. The product is industrially purified (reverse osmosis) and reconstituted with added mineral salts and pH modifiers, which points to an industrial formulation with additives rather than a simple natural spring — a hint toward ultra-processed characteristics.
