Mineral water is one of the most underrated supplements out there. It isn’t just the delicious fizzy taste; it also contains, as you might guess, some minerals! One under-appreciated mineral is sulfate, and there is lots of sulfate in San Pellegrino compared to most other mineral waters.
After coming across Stephanie Seneff’s work with Weston A. Price a few years ago at an SVHI meeting, I dug in and agree with her that sulfate will likely become as biologically important as nitric oxide, another hugely important signaling molecule that was invisible to biologists because it disappears quickly.[i] (If you subscribe to my Quarterly Box, you recently received some nitric oxide test strips because it matters for brain and vascular performance.)
Here’s an overview of why I drink this stuff…it’s not just about the mineral water benefits, it’s also a Bulletproof Diet friendly beverage because it has no sugar and no chemicals.[ii] Even though I don’t agree with Nestlé’s politics around water ownership, this is typically the most available form of healthy water at many restaurants.
If normal humans get 10% of their sulphur from water, as Seneff argues, superhumans can probably get more! These small changes in our environmental inputs, even water, create higher performance…that’s biohacking.
