FAQ
What are NV Minerals?
NV Minerals are a natural water purification solution that safely and effectively purifies water. Its unique, patented formulation of ionic sulfate minerals (electrolytes) neutralizes and assists in the reduction and removal of over 200 contaminants, providing you with cleaner water. NV Minerals have been lab tested according to EPA and NSF/ANSI standards (when applicable).

NV Minerals also contain up to 80 trace minerals which help clean and purify the water. Minerals include alum, cerium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lanthanum, lithium, nickel, rubidium, scandium, selenium, silicon, strontium, sulfur, titanium, and vanadium. As a natural substance, the mineral composition can vary slightly.
Where are NV Minerals made?
NV Minerals are made in the USA, according to GMP standards.
What is the shelf life of NV Minerals?
NV Minerals do not have an expiration date. Stored properly, they will remain effective indefinitely. NV Minerals should be stored in a dry place out of direct sunlight between 40 degrees - 100 degrees F.
Is it safe to consume the residue at the bottom of my container after adding NV Minerals?
Yes. Though it may be unpleasant to look at, it is completely harmless and if consumed, will just pass through your body. However, most people prefer to remove it from their water for taste. Simply pour the top portion into a separate container leaving the residue in the bottom to discard.
what is the best way to store water purified with nv minerals?
You can store your purified water in either a glass, ceramic, or HDPE #2 BPA-free plastic container.
Is it okay to heat water after treating it with NV Minerals?
Yes. Heat will not affect the efficacy of NV Minerals. You can use it to treat your water when cooking or making beverages like coffee or tea.
Why do NV Minerals come in plastic bottles? Are they BPA-free?
Our 3oz and 16oz bottles are made of food-grade, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) #2 plastic. We chose this material for our larger bottles because it's one of the safest plastics with no known health concerns, is BPA-free, and easy to ship and recycle. Our small 2oz bottle is glass. All of our bottles are made in the USA.
Do NV Minerals reduce fluoride?
Yes. NV Minerals trap 100% of the fluoride ions and reduce the concentration of sodium fluoride below the detection limit of EPA method 340.2.
How do NV Minerals purify water?
NV Minerals purify water in a 4-step process:
Coagulation: When added to water, NV Minerals cause invisible, suspended fine particles to neutralize, allowing the particles to come closer together, forming clumps, making it easier to separate solids from the water.
Flocculation: Flocculation is the process whereby the clumps of bacteria and particulate impurities formed during the coagulation process gather, or floc, and come together forming clusters. Once step one and two are complete, the contaminants are now neutralized and insoluble.
Precipitation: Once Coagulation and Flocculation occur, the insoluble, neutralized contaminants solidify as they precipitate out of solution.
Deposition or Sedimentation: The precipitates settle and are deposited as sediment at the bottom of your water container. This four-step process allows the precipitated contaminants to be easily filtered.
I NOTICED SOME BLOBS OR FORMATIONS IN MY BOTTLE OF NV MINERALS. IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT?
Great question! The blobs you see are actually a natural occurrence due to the high mineral salt content in NV Minerals. Sometimes, these salts can fall out of solution and form these blobs or precipitates, especially when exposed to changes in oxygen levels, temperature, or altitude during transportation or storage.
This is very similar to the formations you might see in high-quality apple cider vinegar. It's purely aesthetic and doesn't affect the product's safety or efficacy.
If the presence of these precipitates is a concern, you can simply strain the solution through a coffee filter, cheesecloth, or a colander. However, the product can also be used as-is without any detrimental effect.
We understand that it may be visually startling, but please rest assured that it's simply an aesthetic issue and doesn't indicate a quality problem. We manufacture our NV Minerals in a GMP-compliant, FDA-inspected facility, ensuring the highest safety and quality standards.
