My wife actually grabbed some of this stuff a few years ago but it’s in a bottle that you use a dropper and grab it out. It’s still in the cabinet and I take some every so often when I see it. The minerals are certainly important and in short supply in our diets so I can understand why we need them. It’s funny I haven’t thought about it in a long time! 

The taste is interesting. It tastes like a slightly metallic water I think but not unbearable. 

Take my money (2$) and give me fairy water !LOLZ

That looks like tar...

At that price you can get some really good yogurt or even probiotic pills. There are wayyyy cheaper ways to care for one's gut. 

I'm not sure I could drink black water. That is just... wrong. They have so many gimmicks or perhaps not even gimmicks but things that really have no benefit to us beyond the *It's good for you.*

I just deleted a few paragraphs on useless vitamin taking, but, that isn't what you are looking for. I cannot think of anything unique right at the moment because I tend to ignore them lately. But, now you got my interest up in what I may be missing. 

I have an admission - I felt bad for the little rain collecting fairies and kept imagining their sad little faces when you didn't like the taste. 

It does seem like a very novel thing, I personally tend to associate black looking water with Coka Cola and would probably be disappointed tasting something that looks so similar but clearly tastes way off the mark. 

As for gut health, well I'm almost sure that most of the stuff in the water is killed by the stomach acids long before it gets to your gut so it seems a rather odd thing to market, but who knows, I'm not a health fundi so probably wouldn't spend $3 on black water when I can get perfectly ok water from the tap that doesn't taste metallic or give the false pretense of being Coke. 

Those poor fairies though 😢

Plain water is still best for me as those with colors already contained some chemicals which some are not good for our body. And that's too pricey for a small ml of water.. But of course, those curious about it would give it a try. 
Happy weekend Galen. Stay healthy. 

Maybe I would only take it once because curiosity kills the cat. But I definitely prefer my filtered water that I drink from the tap at home.

It is possible that the dark side of the liquid is to protect the intestinal flora from cancer cells in addition to the nutritional benefits.

For my cost benefit, it is very expensive, even though it is still very interesting for the target to which it is directed.

For this month of October, it is great to celebrate Halloween because of the theme and the black color @galenkp 

You are someone who really cares about your health. That's also what everyone should be doing, isn't it?

I have experience with health water that I drink every morning, but it is plain water. Part of the mineral water we should consume at least 8 glasses a day.

I always bring a large glass of mineral water at night to the balcony of my 2-story house and place it there overnight. The next morning I drank it all. 

My family believes that condensed water at night is very good for health, but I have to really pay attention that the glass is not entered by anything other than "dew".

Now there is a new word for me. 
It definitely looks gimmicky to me. I feel like any product that claims a plethora of health benefits can always make a quick buck pretty easily in the short term.

The color has to come from charcoal - no? 

I don't think I'd drink that, and I drink some weird shit sometimes

Hmm that's a weird product. Not sure if I would buy it if I see them in stores.

Lately, I have been quite into those robot cleaners, those circular looking objects that prowl the floor and suck up the dust and dirt. It's been around for quite some time, but I have been considering to get one to save some time on cleaning the house. On one hand, I realise these robot cleaners have evolved over the years in terms of functionalities, or stuff like suction power, etc. On the other hand, I wonder if they really do clean well.

If it comes to my health and gut, then I'd rather have my "clear water", a healthy diet and my fitness in check. Sometimes the basics and a strong foundation is all we require.

All this "rain water, collected from the Himalayas, UV protected" yadayadayada seems a bit too much for me, and it's becoming WAY more common day by day; yet, that's just me and my 2 cents. Maybe I'm just being ignorant, but sometimes it all feels "made up" or exaggerated for some reason. Yes, some people do have issues with digestion and their gut health, maybe it's targeted towards them and might actually provide some health benefits. But anyone who keeps themselves fit and healthy, for them it would be unnecessary I'd say. 

At the end of the day, nothing beats a healthy diet and a good workout routine. 

It is interesting how a company can try to produce and sell a product a regular consumer like me would directly refuse to try. I guess just trying to innovate and introduce a new consumer product and differentiate it from competitors is not valid on anything. I would love to know if after a year you can still find that product in the shelves.
 
I wonder if that is the new fashion as I've seen similar "color" experiments in the market as this blue wine which I had no problem trying. We are used to seeing color in wine and although blue is not an "original" color it seems easier to wanna give it a try, but there are some basic product colors that seem very difficult to disassociate as transparent on water or white on milk.

Sometimes we are deceived by our eyesight or by the fact that we know this water is black. Have you tried comparing with your eyes closed to ordinary water from your tap and another bottled water from the store? It might be interesting... 

Gut health is very delicate because its about the digestive system. I know few people who have issues with their gut, the experience is challenging. 

Sometimes natural medicines or supplements healing effects can only be noticed by people who are really sick 😫 because the healing process is gradual, not like pharmaceutical products which gives quick relief. So if you're not sick while taking natural medication, you might not realise that you're getting anything good out of it.

That water could be very effective in helping prevent issues with gut health and maybe also remedy the situation. 

As a person with cancer and kidney related conditions, tap water has done me more harm over the years until I discovered a better alternative.

I have 2 device inform of bottles,  (one with gemstones and the other structured water funnel) which I bought from the USA, I purify and structure water from them before  drinking.

Those two device cost me nothing less than a thousand dollars. And I'm satisfied because since I started drinking water from them, I've had  general health improvement. 

That water might be a rare gem 💎 even though it's pricey.
