Icelandic Glacial has an uncommonly high, naturally occurring pH level of 8.4, making it alkaline. Unlike many bottled waters on the market, Icelandic Glacial is naturally alkaline, meaning the water’s pH level is from nature, in our case, it’s from being filtered through lava rock. Other alkaline waters use additives such as sodium bicarbonate or calcium chloride to increase the pH level artificially.

Icelandic Glacial has a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) of 62ppm. This is in the “mineral sweetspot” where you are still getting the beneficial minerals and nutrients that naturally occur in spring water, but without affecting the pure taste which can happen with waters with high mineral content.

There is absolutely nothing added to Icelandic Glacial, just the natural occurring minerals such as calcium, magnesium and sodium are present. Harmful chemicals such as fluoride are not present nor added to the water. A full water quality report is available here here.
