Why is Spring Water classified as NOVA 1 and what does that indicate about its processing?

NOVA 1 denotes foods that are unprocessed or undergo only minimal physical processes such as cleaning, decanting or filtering; therefore the water is essentially in its natural state with no additives or industrial processing.

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

Because the water contains no sugar or salt, it does not raise blood glucose levels or blood pressure, making it a safe hydration choice for people managing diabetes or hypertension.

Is this spring water suitable for vegan, keto, and gluten‑free diets?
