In the hope of delivering delicious water that’s good for the body, this silica-rich natural water is rich in minerals and sourced from Mount Kirishima, an active volcano in Miyazaki Prefecture. Silica is an important nutrient that exists in our bodies and is a key element in the formation of skin, hair, nails, bones and blood vessels. We lose silica as we get older and lack of it will cause health problems. Since our bodies cannot produce silica, we must consume foods or drinks that contain silica. Mount Kirishima water has the highest silica content in the world (silica is commonly found in volcanic rock).
The mountain has erupted several times in the last 1,000,000 years, forming natural aquifers underground. The area is also known as one of Japan’s most rain heavy regions. Over time, rains that fall on the Kirishima mountain range filter through these aquifers to become miraculous groundwater that contains silica as well as variety of rare minerals that offer health benefits. These include bicarbonate ion, sodium sulfate (effective for colon detox), and vanadium. Silica also supports collagen formation that leads to soft and elastic skin. Therefore, this water product is ideal for those who are conscious about both health and beauty.
Kirishima’s Natural Water Nomu Silica is a moderately hard water that is easy to drink despite its high mineral content. The body can easily absorb the water as it doesn’t contain any additives. It is ideal for anyone interested in maintaining good health regardless of age or gender. There are two sizes available: a handy portable 500ml bottle and a 2L bottle.
