Commercially available “black water” (also called black alkaline water or fulvic water) is a bottled drinking water that looks black because it contains fulvic and humic minerals, which are naturally dark in color.
It is marketed as a premium or “functional” health beverage.
🧪 What Makes It Black? The dark color comes from:
Fulvic Acid + Humic Substances Naturally occurring organic compounds found in soil, plants, and shale
When dissolved in water, they turn it deep brown/black
They are rich in trace minerals and electrolytes
These are the same substances used in agriculture to enrich soil — but purified versions are used for drinking water.
⚙️ How Black Water Is Made Clean water base (RO or purified)
Added fulvic and humic minerals
Often made alkaline (pH 8+)
Sometimes includes trace elements like zinc, magnesium, iron, etc.
💡 Why Do People Drink It? (Marketing Claims) Note: These claims are marketed, not strongly supported by scientific evidence.

📌 In Simple Terms Black water = purified water + fulvic minerals + dark color + alkaline It is sold as a premium “health drink,” but its benefits over normal water are not strongly proven.
If you want, I can compare black water vs alkaline/mineral/RO water or explain whether you should drink it.
