                                A 2023 review published by the National Institutes of Health highlights that reverse osmosis (RO) systems, while effective at removing contaminants, can strip water of 92-99% of beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium. This raises important questions about what minerals are lost in RO water and the potential health implications of drinking demineralized water.
