It\u2019s also directly bottled at the source without interference \u2014 meaning it\u2019s organic. That\u2019s why it\u2019s been many Americans&#8217; primary drinking water choice since 1871.<\/p>    <p>Mountain Valley is located in the Ouachita Mountains within the borders of Arkansas. The water flows through naturally formed granite-based aquifers. The granite presence in the aquifers acts as natural filtration as it absorbs and adsorbs common contaminants and increases the water&#8217;s mineral content.<\/p>    <p>As a result, the Mountain Valley Spring Water entertains 220 mg\/L of total dissolved solids (in this case, all minerals), which is only 30 mg\/L short of being labeled as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/bottled-water-everywhere-keeping-it-safe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">mineral water<\/a>.<\/p>    <p>Calcium is the top mineral present, at 67 mg\/L. Magnesium and potassium follow with 7.1 mg\/L and 1.3 mg\/L, respectively.<\/p>    <p>You may have heard that some spring water naturally contains sodium, which is harmful to people with cardiac conditions. Fortunately, Mountain Valley has no sodium, so it\u2019s the ideal choice for everyone.<\/p>    <p>The pH of the Mountain Valley Spring Water ranges between 7.3 and 7.7. This means it\u2019s neither acidic nor alkaline, offering a perfect balance.<\/p>    <p>The company bottles its water either in glass or recyclable aluminum bottles. The practice makes the brand eco-friendly, so you needn\u2019t worry about microplastics leaching into your water from plastic bottles.<\/p>    <p>If our word alone isn\u2019t good enough for you, you\u2019ll be happy to know that the brand has won many awards since its conception.

Since 1564, Tuscany\u2019s springs have miraculously been untouched and uncontaminated, continuing to awe with their unique taste.<\/p>    <p>Acqua Panna is the number #1 pick of many high-end restaurants thanks to its soft and velvety savor. This savor is indebted to the balanced mineral content of the water, which is a natural result of the underground waterways it travels through.<\/p>    <p>Although Acqua Panna doesn\u2019t have as high a total dissolved solids (TDS) level as Mountain Valley Spring Water, it\u2019s organically alkaline thanks to its high bicarbonate content.<\/p>    <p>Due to the 106 mg\/L of bicarbonate, it entertains a pH level of 8.8. This makes it the right drinking choice if you want to reap the antioxidant benefits of alkaline water.<\/p>    <p>Yet, despite its high pH and bicarbonate levels, Acqua Panna doesn\u2019t taste bitter due to its balanced mineral content. The minerals that give the water a bitter taste (calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium) range between 6 mg\/L to 31.5 mg\/L.<\/p>    <p>Aquasana is advertised as a luxury item in restaurants thanks to its glass bottles, but it also comes in more budget-friendly plastic bottles. Although plastics are unbecoming of this high-quality water, the plastic packaging is made of completely recyclable polyethylene terephthalate (PET).<\/p>    <p>Finally, Acqua Panna contains 2.9 mg\/L of nitrates, which is well within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.state.mn.us\/communities\/environment\/water\/contaminants\/nitrate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">EPA guidelines<\/a>. However, it\u2019s not completely free of them.<\/p>    <p>Additionally, it features 6.5 mg\/L of sodium, so people on no-sodium diets should go with a different brand.<\/p>    <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-icelandic-glacial-water\">3.

The rainwater falls on lava rock, which removes impurities and gives it a bicarbonate content of 27.16 mg\/L.

Also, the bottles are made of 100% recyclable, BPA-free, and high-quality PET, contributing to the brand\u2019s eco-friendliness.<\/p>    <p>If aesthetics are important to you, you\u2019ll be happy to know that Icelandic Glacial has unique and award-winning bottle designs.<\/p>    <p>However, we should note that the low mineral content of the water from this brand isn\u2019t necessarily an advantage, especially considering that the average American diet is already low in calcium and magnesium. Because of this, it\u2019s beneficial to consume these healthy minerals through our drinking water.<\/p>    <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-gerolsteiner-naturell\">4.

Then, Gerolsteiner Naturell is the antidote for you. In just one liter of Gerolsteiner Naturell, there are enough minerals to get you almost halfway to the daily mineral intake recommended by nutritionists.<\/p>    <p>Gerolsteiner Naturell is bottled at Volcanic Eifel, a region in Germany full of volcanic craters, pumice, and basalt lakes at the Rhenish Slate Mountains in Rheinland-Pfalz. Thanks to its journey through these volcanic formations, the water is naturally filtered.<\/p>    <p>Gerolsteiner Naturell is rich in bicarbonate content, but the volcanic formations it passes through provide it with lots of carbon, making it acidic. As such, it has a pH of 5.9.<\/p>    <p>But what makes it unique is its TDS levels of 2,527 mg\/l. Thanks to the mineral-rich character of the volcanic craters, Gerolsteiner Naturell probably takes the crown for being the most mineral-rich bottled water on the market.<\/p>    <p>It also contains 348 mg\/L of calcium, almost half the recommended daily requirement. At 108 mg\/L, its magnesium content is no less impressive, equalling a quarter of our daily magnesium needs.<\/p>    <p>Yet, Gerolsteiner Naturell is also very high in sodium, with 118 mg\/L, so it\u2019s not ideal for people with cardiovascular problems.<\/p>    <p>Thanks to its mineral profile, this particular water has a vibrant and bold taste which people who like their water neutral might not like.<\/p>    <p>Finally, like Acqua Panna, Gerolsteiner Naturell comes in either glass or PET bottles. The PET bottles are entirely BPA-free and recyclable but rare, so it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll only come across glass Gerolsteiner Naturell bottles.<\/p>    <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-waiakea-hawaiian-volcanic-water\">5.

Yet, it\u2019s almost the opposite of the former, with much lower TDS levels, higher pH, and a slightly sweet and very smooth taste and texture.<\/p>    <p>The water originates from and is bottled in Hawaii. The water source is on the Big Island at a deep well near the still-active Mauna Loa volcano.<\/p>    <p>Wai\u0101kea has been well-protected from external contamination since it\u2019s thousands of miles from industrial activities and human and animal waste. In addition, the volcanic formations eliminate the natural contaminants found in rainwater, so the brand bottles its water directly at the source without any interference.<\/p>    <p>The volcanic formations also enrich the water with minerals, albeit in a low and balanced manner. It has 82 mg\/L of TDS, and minerals such as calcium and magnesium are 2 mg\/L to 7 mg\/L.<\/p>    <p>The only standouts are bicarbonates (34 mg\/L) and silica (44 mg\/L). While the former give it a bit of alkalinity (pH ranging from 7.6 to 8.2), the latter give it a pleasant smooth and sweet taste.<\/p>    <p>Similar to the Icelandic Glacial Water, Wai\u0101kea bottles its water in a carbon-neutral and sustainable fashion. The packaging is also in line with the eco-friendly principles of the brand, as the water comes in recycled aluminum, Oceanplast (the brand\u2019s recycled PET bottling), and reusable bags placed in a box.<\/p>    <p>Even better, the company is involved in many charity organizations and clean water initiatives, impacting thousands of lives and emphasizing ethical business practices. You can learn more about these activities on <a href=\"https:\/\/waiakea.com\/pages\/ethically\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">their website<\/a>.<\/p>    <p>When it comes to the downsides, the biggest one is that some people may not like the low mineral content of Wai\u0101kea.<\/p>    <p>Plus, the brand is hard to come by outside the US. So, if you\u2019re frequently traveling abroad, it may not be accessible.<\/p>    <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-fiji-water\">6.

So, it would be a surprise if some of the best water in the world didn\u2019t originate from this town. The Saratoga Natural Spring Water covers that ground with its low mineral content, light taste, and smooth feel.<\/p>    <p>The origins of the springs in Saratoga date back to the Paleozoic era when the bedrock underlying the surface cracked in various places, forcing the water below to reach above the surface. The natives believed the water had healing powers, and the settlers turned the area into a spa haven in the 1800s. Since then, the Saratoga spring water has been bottled for consumption, too.<\/p>    <p>Nowadays, what Saratoga Natural Spring Water offers is a premium drinking experience promoted by high-end restaurants and influencers. There\u2019s also truth to this marketing, as Saratoga is probably the best luxury water brand in the United States.<\/p>    <p>As we said, it\u2019s a low-mineral brand with a TDS of 74 mg\/L, so it tastes lighter than most bottles on our list. In addition, it has a neutral pH of 7, meaning it\u2019s neither acidic nor alkaline.<\/p>    <p>The Saratoga water comes in two forms: still (bottled directly at the source) and sparkling. The former is a premium drinking water choice, and the latter is typically paired with many heavy dishes (like steak) as an excellent non-alcoholic alternative to champagne.<\/p>    <p>Its cobalt blue glass bottles, reminiscent of champagne bottles, are a testament to its premium status.<\/p>    <p>Saratoga is one of the most expensive bottled water brands around. You\u2019re also unlikely to come across it anywhere other than in high-end restaurants.<\/p>    <p>On a final note, the brand website offers little information on the nutritional values of its water or how it\u2019s sourced.<\/p>    <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-evian\">8.

It\u2019s expensive, but its quality is uncontested.<\/p>    <p>Evian originates from France, namely the town of \u00c9vian-les-Bains near the French Alps. The snowmelt from the French Alps passes through layers of glaciers and rock formations that naturally filter it and provide it with many minerals.<\/p>    <p>The journey of the water takes fifteen years. Although that number is much less than what Wai\u0101kea and FIJI waters have, it\u2019s still enough for thorough natural filtration and it\u2019s what gives it its high mineral content.<\/p>    <p>Evian\u2019s 345 mg\/L of TDS, 80 mg\/L of calcium, 26 mg\/L of magnesium, and, most impressively, 360 mg\/L of bicarbonate content is evidence of that. Yet, it has only 15 mg\/L silica.<\/p>    <p>A high mineral count with low silica means this water tastes more bitter. While some find the taste appealing, it could be off-putting for others.<\/p>    <p>Even though it\u2019s mineral-rich, Evian has an excellent balance of alkalis and acids, making it pH-neutral at 7.2.<\/p>    <p>In a similar vein to many other spring water brands on our list, Evian also emphasizes sustainability.

The brand does nothing to alter the pH of its water.<\/p>    <p>Penta is the evident choice for those who want tasteless, contaminant-free, and mineral-free water.

As such, it has a neutral pH of 7.3, measured at its source.<\/p>    <p>Besides its neutral pH, it has an abundance of minerals, too, with a TDS of 312 mg\/L.

Thanks to its high silica content, it presents an excellent alternative to smooth-tasting water brands such as FIJI.<\/p>    <p>The aquifer Antipodes sources its water from sits at 327 meters below ground. The water journeys to this aquifer for 50 to 300 years through cooled volcanic rock formations, also known as ignimbrites.<\/p>    <p>Since ignimbrites are naturally high in silica content, they endow the Antipodes water with 76 mg\/L of silica, giving it a smooth mouthfeel.

It doesn\u2019t contain magnesium, its calcium content is only 3 mg\/L, and it has only 37 mg\/L of bicarbonates.<\/p>    <p>Yet, such low mineral content isn\u2019t necessarily a disadvantage.

Liquid Death doesn\u2019t shine with its mineral content, alkalinity, purity, or taste but with its punk stance and outlandish design choices.<\/p>    <p>First, though, let us give you the boring facts. The Liquid Death Mountain Water originates from the mountains of Austria. It\u2019s collected directly from the springs, contains naturally occurring minerals (170 mg\/L of TDS), and has a 7.89 pH, making it slightly alkaline. You can examine its <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/4289\/7737\/files\/CA_Water_Quality_Report_2023_-_English.pdf?v=1682027265\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">water quality report<\/a> for more info regarding its content.<\/p>    <p>Liquid Death sources its water from Austria but sells it mainly in the United States. Besides declaring contempt for corporate marketing, the brand uses two slogans for its advertising campaigns: \u201cMurder Your Thirst\u201d and \u201cDeath to Plastics,\u201d which we stand behind.<\/p>    <p>To further reinforce their stance, they employ aluminum packaging. The Liquid Death Mountain Water is only available in aluminum cans (featuring death metal-esque skulls on their sleeves) that look like beer cans.<\/p>    <p>The brand produces sparkling water (pH 5.1) and iced tea alongside mountain water. Their website also features a special page for various <a href=\"https:\/\/liquiddeath.com\/collections\/merch-store\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">merchandise<\/a>, including cool (depending on your style choices) T-shirts, hats, and koozies.<\/p>    <p>While all that\u2019s good and well, the brand offers little info on its water collection process, source, or mineral content of its water.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\"><a><\/a>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>    <p>Below are our answers to the biggest questions readers have about minerals in drinking water and alkalinity.<\/p>    <div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1685146241387\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why are minerals in my drinking water important?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The minerals in drinking water are vital because drinking water is the primary source of some of them (calcium, magnesium, and potassium).

are minerals in my drinking water important?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The minerals in drinking water are vital because drinking water is the primary source of some of them (calcium, magnesium, and potassium). Also, various studies report that an average American citizen\u2019s intake of these minerals is way below the recommended levels.
