The electrolytes found in FIJI Water include sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and bicarbonate. These electrolytes are especially important for good health. FIJI Water does not add electrolytes or any other additives to its water.

FIJI Water is a natural source of electrolytes, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and bicarbonate, all of which are vital for good health. Meaning, FIJI Water does not add or enhance its water with electrolytes. All of the electrolytes in FIJI Water are naturally occurring, as FIJI Water's mineral composition and taste are the result of its source: an artesian aquifer on the islands of Fiji, where mineral-rich volcanic rock acts as a natural filter for the water.

FIJI Water is an artesian water, bottled at the source on the islands of Fiji. FIJI Water is the result of rainfall that fell long before the Industrial Revolution, filtering slowly through mineral-rich rock over hundreds of years. Gathering minerals like silica along the way, FIJI Water collects in an underground aquifer that keeps the water preserved and protected from external elements.

FIJI Water is available at all major global retail outlets. Please visit our Store Locator page for a complete list of retailers who carry FIJI Water.

Nothing is added to FIJI Water. FIJI Water is an all natural water, bottled at the source, preserved and protected by its natural environment. FIJI Water's mineral composition and taste are the result of its source: an artesian aquifer on the islands of Fiji. The volcanic rock on the island acts as a natural filter for the water. FIJI Water filters through layers of this mineral-rich volcanic rock over hundreds of years.

In February 2004, the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board issued new recommendations for water consumption. Instead of the previous 8 glasses per day, or approximately 2 Liters per day, the institute now recommends that healthy individuals consume Water is an essential nutrient needed for daily body functions.38 Every system in our body depends on water.

FIJI Water is an all-natural artesian water which makes it distinct from other waters. FIJI Water's mineral composition and taste are the result of its source: an artesian aquifer on the islands of Fiji. The volcanic rock on the island acts as a natural filter for the water. FIJI Water filters through layers of this mineral-rich volcanic rock over hundreds of years gathering minerals like silica. The unique blend of these minerals is what leads to the distinct soft, smooth taste of FIJI Water.

Many of our consumers prefer drinking FIJI Water at room temperature. Remember, if you prefer FIJI Water on ice, use ice cubes made with FIJI Water to ensure a consistent, smooth taste.

Silica is an essential trace mineral1,2,3 that influences bone formation and connective tissue development,4,5 and is thought to improve the thickness of skin, hair and nails.6 Silica may also help prevent osteoarthritis through its effects on cartilage composition.7 Research shows that silica can also help protect against Alzheimer's disease.8,9 The suggested daily intake of silica is 20-50 milligrams for adults. The good news: FIJI Water is rich in silica with 85 milligrams per liter.

Electrolytes are the blood minerals that make up the pH balance of the blood and the electrical potential of the body. Without electrolytes, the body is like a car without a battery - it just cannot get started. Electrolytes for the most part are NOT stored, apart from salt and calcium, and you don't want to use your stores of bone for blood calcium as that can lead to osteoperosis and kidney stones. So electrolytes MUST come from the diet.

FIJI Water is different from other waters because of its source. Bottled at the source on the islands of Fiji, far from other industrialized nations, FIJI Water comes from a virgin ecosystem located at the edge of a primitive rainforest in the Yaqara Valley on the island of Viti Levu. This ecosystem ensures that the source of our water remains naturally free of acid rain and other environmental contaminants.

It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between being thirsty and being hungry. It is often recommended to try drinking water and waiting twenty to thirty minutes to see if you are still hungry. By switching from higher calorie beverages to FIJI Water, which is calorie- free, you can significantly reduce your daily caloric intake - the major factor for weight loss.

Hydration is important to overall health and well-being. FIJI Water is an excellent choice for staying hydrated and healthy during your pregnancy and while nursing. Please check with your physician if you have other specific questions.

FIJI Water uses a standard "best by" date for all water sold in the United States. The "best by" date can be found on the back of each FIJI Water bottle, under the back label. This applies to unopened bottles. While the federal government does not require an expiration date, certain states have individual requirements.

FIJI Water currently has four different back labels, each of which illustrate a unique image and communicate a different part of the FIJI Water story. The four back panels, "bottled in Fiji," "what ecosystem is your water from," "what is artesian water," and "untouched by man" can be found on our website.

The flower depicted on the FIJI Water front label is the hibiscus flower, which is found throughout the Fijian Islands.
