A member asked:
When drinking pure distilled water (by reverse osmosis), are there any mineral supplements i need to take to prevent deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Distilled water has no nutrients of any kind. So yes both mineral and vitamin supplements would be appropriate along with the appropriate foods.
