Imagine this: you turn on the tap, fill your glass, and quench your thirst with a refreshing gulp of crystal-clear water. In a world where clean drinking water isn't always guaranteed, that can feel pretty close to bliss. But what if I told you that while RO purifiers remove impurities, they might also be removing something essential: minerals.
What are RO Purifiers and How Do They Work?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) purifiers have become a common sight in Indian households. They act like tiny filtration ninjas, wielding semi-permeable membranes to remove contaminants, bacteria, and excess salts (measured in Total Dissolved Solids or TDS) from your drinking water. They work by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane, which blocks contaminants but also minerals like calcium and magnesium, vital for our health. Over time, drinking demineralized water can contribute to a reduction in the body's mineral reserves, potentially causing health issues such as weakened bones or compromised immunity. This technology is a lifesaver in areas where water quality is a concern.
What is the acceptable TDS level of drinking water?
TDS or Total Dissolved Solids level in drinking water is generally considered to be below 500 mg/l milligrams per litre or PPM parts per million.
The Flip Side of RO Purification
While RO purifiers are effective, they're not without limitations. The process of filtering out impurities can also remove beneficial minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals play a crucial role in our body's functions, from maintaining bone health to regulating blood pressure.
Are You Mineral Deficient?
So, how do you know if your RO purifier is taking away more than it's giving? While some people might not experience any immediate drawbacks, long-term mineral deficiencies can lead to various health concerns, including:
- Muscle weakness and fatigue
- Bone problems like osteoporosis
- Increased risk of heart disease

A Natural Replenishment Solution
If you're concerned about mineral depletion due to RO purification, there's a natural solution you can explore: Shilajit.
Sattam Shilajit Shudh Resin: Nature's Mineral Powerhouse
Sattam Shilajit Shudh Resin is a natural substance rich in fulvic acid and a wide range of essential minerals. It's formed over centuries from the gradual decomposition of plants and minerals in the Himalayas. Here's how Shilajit resin can help:
- Replenish Lost Minerals: Shilajit's natural mineral profile can help bridge the gap created by RO-filtered water.
- Enhance Bioavailability: The fulvic acid in Shilajit improves your body's ability to absorb these minerals, maximizing their benefits.

Living a Balanced Life with Clean and Mineral-Rich Water
RO purifiers provide clean drinking water, but it's important to be aware of potential mineral loss. Consider supplementing your diet with natural sources of minerals like fruits, vegetables, and yes, even Shilajit resin. By combining RO filtration with a mineral-rich solution like Shilajit, you can ensure you're getting the best of both worlds: clean, safe water and essential minerals for optimal health.
Remember, consulting a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement is always recommended.
Live healthy, live happy!
