💧Reverse osmosis water filters are becoming incredibly popular…but there are a few things people should understand about them 👇
They can help remove contaminants like lead, PFAS “forever chemicals,” fluoride, chlorine byproducts, and even most microplastics. That’s one of the reasons I personally use one — we live in an area with older piping and occasional boil water advisories, so having that extra filtration gives me peace of mind (plus I really like the taste). It also saves us a ton of money because we don't have to buy bottled water.
⚠️ But reverse osmosis also removes beneficial minerals like magnesium and calcium.
That doesn’t automatically make it “bad” water…but if you exclusively drink RO water, it may make sense to remineralize it by:
âś… Adding trace mineral drops
âś… Using a remineralization filter
âś… Adding electrolytes or mineral salts
And remember — a lot of important minerals should ideally come from your diet anyway 🍣🥬🥛
