Purified By Reverse Osmosis

Purified water is water that has had impurities removed. Reverse osmosis is a process that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, unwanted molecules, and larger particles from water. This method is often used to produce drinking water.

Manufacturers use purified water as the base for many beverages, including bottled water, sport drinks, and some juices. It provides a neutral liquid base that allows other flavors and ingredients to be more prominent.

Purified water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that while water is essential for health, the specific health benefits of purified water over other types of safe drinking water are not definitively established. Some studies suggest that demineralized water may have a less favorable effect on nutrient status and may not be as palatable as mineralized water.
