What is Natural Mineral water?
Natural mineral water is a gift of nature. It is directly sourced from underground aquifers near Mountains or Natural Springs that are thoroughly protected from any form of contamination. Natural Mineral Water consists of essential minerals such as Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium and the other integral micronutrients that are naturally absorbed by the water as it flows through layers of rock, soil, and sediment through its journey.
