Instead of relying on nutritional supplements and vitamins, some experts suggest mineralizing water through filtration systems. Maria Kuleshova, a biochemist at Barrier, a technology company that manufactures water filters, explains this approach to socialbites.ca.
She notes that the body often absorbs only a portion of nutrients from pills, typically around 10 to 50 percent. When a tablet is ingested, the concentration of the substance in the bloodstream can rise quickly and then wane. This pattern may not be ideal for steady nourishment. A filtration system, she argues, can deliver a steady, controlled dose of beneficial substances directly with water, creating a consistent baseline of minerals with everyday consumption.
According to Kuleshova, there are filters available in the Russian market that can dose minerals such as magnesium and zinc, along with silicates, into drinking water. It is also possible to enrich water with certain salts if a specific mineral profile is desired. While it is unrealistic to expect a water filter to replicate the full spectrum of vitamins found in a multivitamin, some microelements can be reliably added to water to support daily intake.
She cautions that not every added substance is suitable or safe. The emphasis is on ensuring that only appropriate microelements are introduced and in accurately measured amounts. This approach should be guided by reputable filtration technology and tested for accuracy and safety.
Regarding devices that claim additional processing benefits, Kuleshova points out that alkaline water activators, structuring devices, ionizers, and hydrogen-water products currently on the market do not always come with proven, verifiable effects. Consumers should be cautious about devices that lack measurable performance data.
She further explains that some ionizers and structurizers offer features that cannot be independently controlled or verified. The safer choice is to seek devices with clear performance metrics, such as filtration rate, degradation of contaminants, and verified mineral delivery. A cautious consumer will look for equipment with demonstrated effectiveness rather than marketing claims alone.
Readers are encouraged to compare different water purification methods, understand which filters act as antibiotic mentors in certain scenarios, and learn practical steps to improve tap water quality. The discussion presented here reflects findings and recommendations from Kuleshova and is reported by socialbites.ca.Notes and additional context come from ongoing evaluations by the Barrier team and independent researchers.

Earlier statements by Kuleshova highlight the idea that three key substances may persist in water after boiling, and understanding these residues can guide better purification choices. The goal remains to empower consumers to make informed decisions about mineral supplementation through drinking water, ensuring safety, efficacy, and balance within daily hydration routines.
