We all know that drinking water is essential for staying hydrated throughout the day and it benefits skin health, boosts energy levels, and regulates our body temperature. There are many types of drinking water available, such as filtered water, boiled water, natural mineral water, and reverse osmosis water. But are all drinking water the same?

Are all drinking water the same?

A recent survey conducted by Spritzer on Newswav indicated that 46.46% of the respondents perceived Natural Mineral Water (NMW) to be the same as filtered water. 35.73% of the respondents were aware that NMW is a healthier choice than boiled water and filtered water. These findings suggest that while some consumers recognize the health benefits of NMW, many do not distinguish it as a separate entity from filtered water. 

What sets NMW apart from filtered water is that it is extracted from an underground aquifer with natural filtration through underground rock and sandstone strata. Filtered water, on the other hand, uses tap water as a source and passes through a filter made of a porous substance that holds back impurities.

In Malaysia, there is only one brand that comes to mind when it involves NMW with Silica Mineral and that is Spritzer, the pioneer of Natural Mineral Water since 1989.

3 Fun & Surprising Facts About Spritzer’s Natural Mineral Water

   1. Natural Water Source from Rainforest Approximately The Size of 295 Football Fields!

Did you know that Spritzer Natural Mineral Water (NMW) comes from a 390 acres protected tropical rainforest in Taiping, Perak? That’s an equivalent of approximately 295 football fields! This immensely large and old rainforest of 200 million years continues to flourish every year, which explains the unique fresh taste and abundance of minerals - especially rich in silica - in Spritzer’s NMW that is known to have numerous health benefits. 

   2. Rich in Silica: The Wonder Mineral For Smoother, K-pop Idol-like Skin

K-pop artists are known for their flawless, glowing skin that never seems to age. You can’t deny that you want to know their secret – while it's true that genetics and skincare play a role, these artists also prioritize a healthy lifestyle, including a diet rich in nutrients, and staying hydrated.

One of the marvels of silica is that it is able to boost collagen production in the body to give you smoother skin, shinier hair, and stronger nails. Silica also helps in improving skin elasticity and firmness while retaining skin moisture for that K-pop idol-like dewy and glowy look. The good news is that you can easily get your daily dose of silica from Spritzer Natural Mineral Water!

  

   3. Internationally Awarded For Its Superior Taste

We bet you didn’t think that natural mineral water could win an award on an international scale. Well, guess what, Spritzer Natural Mineral Water was granted the Superior Taste Award and even walked away with 3 golden stars, the highest honour of ‘Exceptional’ status by the prestigious International Taste and Quality Institute (ITQI)! What a proud moment for a Malaysian brand! But that's not all - Spritzer NMW can even enhance the aroma of your tea or coffee, and bring out the sweetness of your food and soup.

Healthy and glowy skin starts from the inside out. Our skin and body health is a reflection of our eating and drinking habits, which means adequate hydration and a nutrient-rich diet are a must for a healthy skin and body. To boost the production of collagen in your body, the consumption of silica-rich food and drinks such as bananas, leafy greens, and Spritzer’s Natural Mineral Water are highly encouraged.
