CORE NATURALS Perfect Ph Water, 30.4 Fl Oz

CHECK LABELS: SOMETHING CHANGE ?!

Something has changed. With my last order, in April 2020, I purchased 3 x cases of the 30.4 fl oz bottles. When sharing with my husband the health of this water, we noticed that the brand labeling had changed: omitting â€˜no fluoride' where they listed all the perks of drinking this water. Hmph. Take a look at yours. I've included a few images of the original brand label, as it's been advertised (as far as I know) since its first launched in 2015. Also, I include a graphic currently advertised on CORE official website (which depicts the bottles, face forward, not from the sides). Lastly, I include an actual shot I took this morning, of one of the last bottles I had from my (3 x case) purchase back in April 2020: the label seems to have been slightly changed for some reason. But why? Are they no longer claiming this water is fluoride free? Isn't it really expensive to relabel a product like this? I like to keep my household safe from neurotoxins like fluoride as much as possible. I have yet to find any verifiable info on this. Only thing I saw the other day came from an amazon reviewer who gave this a one star. She mentioned that this product â€˜is alkaline and has side effects like twitching, nausea, confusion, etc.' â€" things she read from some article, which would have been great had she linked the article, so we can read it ourselves: if, in fact, it was a review on the Core Water brand. Anyway, I absolutely love water always have since I was a lil girl. A bit of a water aficionado/connoisseur, signing off :) if anyone knows of any other water brands that omit fluoride, pls comment below if you can, many thanks. Cheer

Very good! (Mfg may want to add a security seal.)

I like this water. The flavor is perfect. I like the wide-mouth design of the bottles. It makes adding flavor packs to the water easier, and, honestly, I think it allows (or encourages) me to drink more water each time I take a swallow. I didn't realize that the cap was also designed to be a cup, but once I learned that, I used the cap as a cup to give my doggie some water once when we were travelling. If it remains affordable, i will buy it, but I will go with the cheaper alternatives (that are also purified and have electrolytes added) if the price climbs ridiculously. I like the 44 oz bottle best and the 30.4 oz bottle second best, because I end up drinking more water per day with bigger bottles and have fewer plastic bottles to throw away. ...oh, it would probably be a good idea for the manufacturer to add a security seal on top of the water under the cap. I know the cap is technically "sealed", but anyone could open the cap, screw it back in place, and you'd be none the wiser

CORE Hydration 30.4 oz Pack of 12 ( For those who need to be “Water Nerds”

While I am not qualified to give medical advice I am going to share why I have be come a CORE Hydration customer. You can then decide based on what your needs are. What comes out of my tap is. 1 Hard Water, 2 has high levels of Cryptospiridum (parasite found by the hospital treating my grandmother) farmland runoff of pesticides and herbicides. We frequently have boil orders up by our local health department and water safety authority. I and grandma have health issues that have our doctor's recommending filtration and boiling water after filtration. If we choose to use our tap. So that tells me our tap water is bad. A family member trying to help bought us a Zerowater pitcher I called Grandma Infectious disease specialist to see if I could stop boiling her water now and was told no. That Zerowater doesn't remove parasites. Hmm the almost $80 filters for 6 can't make water safe to drink that was disheartening. Just for the curious my Zerowater tester put my tap at 5.00 the worst amount of solid content you can get. I was already using bottled water because I have 2 conditions that cause electrolyte imbalances and have to keep track of my exact fluid intake even though I am on prescription Sodium Chloride(Salt tabs) and Potassium tabs. Brands I have used since 1990 Poland Springs Smartwater Nestle's Pure Life (Zw test# 0.53) *1 time purchase of VOSS in plastic bottle gross taste ** 1 time purchase of BlueTriton Brand PureLife after Nestle sold it (Zw test 2.00) chemical taste. REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER vs VAPOR DISTILLED I see a lot of people saying there's no difference between CORE Hydration and Smartwater but price points. This is incorrect statements. For someone like me and my grandmother with our health issues there are profound effect in the different processes. For a person who has had Cryptosporidium once one removes all of these parasites and other bacteria in the reverse osmosis process eliminating the need for boiling so it's peace of mind and convenience. Where as vapor distilled water can actually make some people sick. I ended up in the ER multiple times in the 2 months I drank it with symptoms of being "water drunk" distilled water washes out more of my electrolytes then other water because I am already imbalance sensitive genetically.( Without bloodwork you don't know you just start showing signs of delirium that can be missed as something else.) It's really scary to go through to so it's only my opinion vapor distilled water should be approached with caution and not treated like tap or spring water. First tried a couple of bottles of CORE Hydration by Amazon Fresh after reading up on the brand by several sources I use online for research. Liking the taste and the bottle design . Inner safety seal.( Bottle sides are rigid before seal is broken after there is give and you can hear bottle draw air) and that it's from recyclable materials and also 100% recyclable. It had a Zw test of O.54. PERFECTLY PH?? There is only one thing I don't agree with the brand on and it's marketing strategy of saying it's perfectly Ph at 7.4 This is the bodies perfect acidic environment but any dentist will tell you anything above 5.5 causes "etching" damage to the denton causing white spots to form on teeth. As most parents know can happen with Sodas and sports drinks. It can occur with alkaline water as well and I wonder is this why they stopped branding themselves as fluoride free? With good oral health brushing etc after drinking. I don't see CORE as harmful and the pros out weigh the 2 slight cons. That's why I ultimately purchased my first few cases and decided it was a 5 star product. It's a little pricy compared to Fiji but I believe this is due to reverse osmosis water purification process

6.5 Not 7.4 pH. Still yummy.

The pH is 6.5 not 7.4 as advertised. I am not drinking this for alkaline benefits. I was bored at work and decided to test the water. See video. The sports cap if you noticed was taken from a previous core bottle I finished. See pics. Great that it's interchangeable with other sizes!!! The taste is good and I find I drink more of this water brand than others. I would buy again, but for some reason the cost went from $22-$44 within three days. Total rip off

Why So Much?

Overall yes this is one of my favorite waters, but I'm confused as to how your going to charge over double the price of what these go for ? They were just $5.97. They are usually $5 - $6 depending on store. Now they are $12-$13??? Do you realize this one pack is what a average person should be drinking in one day? So your trying to charge people $12-$13 every day for water? I do not buy them unless they are regular price. And most of the time yes they do take awhile to get here on top of all that. I do like how they have the different size option bottles but again just means more money. And I get it everything cost money but not doubling it for water. So I give the actual water a great star but not price for what your getting and what they usually cost, and shipping

Love core water

I have always drank core water I like the flavor and the extra stuff in it, but now I have to drink it often. I get chemo once a week and it wipes your body out I drink 2 of these the day of and the day after and it helps a lot. Sometime drinking the flavored stuff like IV hydration gets overwhelming I don't want flavor all the time. This is a good freshnes

Better than hard water but…

I purchased this water because of the rave reviews about how it tastes so good. I usually purchase another brand but the smaller size bottle with a cup/lid seemed better suited for my son to take to school. They are still prohibited from using the drinking fountains to help prevent spread of disease. He has the option to bring a washable sports bottle to get water from a filling station, but he never remembers to bring the bottle home.... Anyways, back to the actual review of the product: My son HATED the taste to the point that I received a lovely call from the school requesting that I bring him a clean shirt because he had spit the water out and was all wet. ðŸ˜ Thus, this product is a giant nope for him. I don't drink plain water very often. I mostly buy purified water to brew coffee with. The tap water where I live is hard, smells of fish, and still tastes off even when it is run through a filter. This is a problem with the entire neighborhood, not just my house. Needless to say, Core water obviously tastes better than my own. The problem is, though, is that it isn't fantastic like the other reviews say. To me it tastes like non-fishy hard water that has been run through a Brita filter. Its passable, but certainly not amazing. It makes ok coffee, but I've had better. The bottle is also a bit of a problem.... I have mild nerve damage on one side of my mouth that sometimes causes me to accidentally dribble what I'm drinking out that side unless I am using a straw or taking very small sips. It is especially frequent if I am drinking from a coffee mug or large cup. Neither the lid or the opening of the Core water bottle are suitable for me, and the weight of a full bottle makes drinking straight from the bottle even more cumbersome. Indeed, I lost about an ounce down the side of my face. Oh well ðŸ™ƒ I will use it just for coffee. In my honest opinion, I think this is one of those products where you are mostly paying for the brand logo on the label to appear cool, popular, trendy, stylish, woke, or whatever verbiage people who care about this kind of thing are using these days. (no offense intended, I just don't care for that

Refreshing and Hydrating

I have a real problem staying hydrated. After ending up in the ER several times with dangerously low blood pressure due to dehydration, I found a water that not only keeps me hydrated but also tastes good. I truly recommend Core if you are struggling with dehydration and are looking for a great quality water that tastes crisp and refreshing

The cap is easy to take off

Not much to tell. It is water. It tastes like water and looks like water. It supposedly has minerals and electrolytes so that's good. I really just like the size, shape and the cap. Easier to take the cap off and lift

I love the bottle and drinkability!

This bottle shape and lightness of the bottle and water make it so easy to drink! For some reason the water is a lot easier to drink than most I've been drinking lately! My new fav water
