The PureWhite twist: heat doesn't remove minerals — but the water you heat matters. Starting with ionised alkaline water at pH 9.5+ means your warm glass carries essential minerals like calcium, magnesium and potassium in ionic form, the form your body absorbs best. Bottled at the source, untouched by human hand — just warm it gently and sip.
A note of care: comfortably warm is the goal, not scalding. Very hot water can damage oesophageal tissue over time.
