According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: "mineral water is any natural water that contains at least 250 parts per million of total dissolved solids (TDS). It must be verified through a lab test whereby a litre of water, evaporated at 180 degrees C, should leave a residue of minerals and salts”. On every bottle of “36” Natural Mineral water we clearly show the strictly maintained mineral content of the natural mineral water it contains, including our consistent TDS reading of 295mg – 315 mg/L. The stability of our mineral content sets us a part from our competition. Our Water – con’t THE QUALITY OF OUR WATER WHY “36” ? Our “36” Natural Mineral Water also has a neutral pH of 7 and derives it’s distinctive taste from the unique properties imparted into the natural mineral water as it is formed, in centuries old artesian Himalayan springs. Mineral waters with a ph value close to 7 are the healthier choice. Although there are additional minerals present in our “36” Natural Mineral Water, we excel in our mineral content for the important minerals below that are beneficial to your health and these minerals are also predominantly responsible in giving the brand its distinctive taste. • • • • • Magnesium: Helps strengthen the immune system, relax the body and muscles, and lower blood pressure Chloride and Bicarbonates: Helps balance the digestive system Iron: Helps deliver oxygen to the blood system Sulphate: Cleansing and detoxify the body Calcium: Strengthens bones and teeth.
