I have a water distiller and I am concerned about the minerals that are taken out of the water. Do you know what type of minerals I should be adding to the water before drinking?

You can remineralise the water and increase the pH at the same time by adding a trace mineral supplement to the water. I suggest a natural, unadulterated product such as Concentrace, which contains the complete spectrum of ionic minerals essential for health and wellbeing. These beneficial minerals are alkaline, so by adding them to your acidic distilled water they will help to increase the pH.

Both alkaline and acidic water have their benifits. We all consume relevant minerals through our food intake which are sufficient. Distilled and reverse osmosis water systems provide perfect water which preform so many unique tasks in the body whilst in its purests form. The detox effect achieved by the reactive nature of pure water and the benifits to the skin the softness brings are fair points in considering reminalization. Pure water and a balanced diet are a winning concentration. But on the side adding a remineralizer cartridge and turning the water alkaline will help the body produce anti-oxidants to combat free radicals within the body. So really which ever way you go is not really an issue as both are really good. the main point is that you are filtering all the bad parts out and thats all that really matters

We use this type of filtered water for cooking and drinking and like it much better than the water supplied from the town (full of flouride and other chemicals).
