Why is Plus Mineral classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes processed ingredients beyond plain water, such as citric acid (E330) used as an acidity regulator, magnesium citrate, a flavoring component, and the preservative glycolipide (E246). These additives are manufactured substances that move the drink into the ultra‑processed category.

How does the lack of sugar and salt in Plus Mineral affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With zero grams of sugar and no added salt per 100 ml, Plus Mineral does not contribute to blood‑glucose spikes or increase sodium intake, making it safe for people managing diabetes or hypertension, provided they watch overall fluid consumption.

Is Plus Mineral suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based or mineral, so the drink is vegan, keto‑friendly, gluten‑free and contains no animal‑derived substances; however, certification for halal is not indicated, so consumers requiring halal assurance should verify with the manufacturer.
