Abstract
Abstract This invention is directed to an optimal mineralized potable or drinking water formulation. The optimal mineralized drinking i.e., potable, water formulation strongly appears to have great utility in preventing cardiovascular disease and is an aqueous solution consisting essentially of: 20-40 mg/liter Strontium ions; 50-100 mg/liter Magnesium ions; 60-125 mg/liter Calcium ions; and 0.06-0.15 mg/liter Lithium. All the chemical elements are present in the ionic form as water soluble salts, e.g., as sulfates, nitrates, or chlorides of the elements. The mineral water contains no sodium or potassium ions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
48 words
A sodium and potassium free mineralized drinking water formulation which consists essentially of an aqueous solution of distilled water containing: 20-40 mg/liter Strontium ions; 50-100 mg/liter Magnesium ions; 60-125 mg/liter Calcium ions; and 0.06-0.15 mg/liter Lithium ions, each of said ions being present in association with water-soluble salts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
48 words
A sodium and potassium free mineralized drinking water formulation which consists essentially of an aqueous solution of distilled water containing: 20-40 mg/liter Strontium ions; 50-100 mg/liter Magnesium ions; 60-125 mg/liter Calcium ions; and 0.06-0.15 mg/liter Lithium ions, each of said ions being present in association with water-soluble salts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A solid formulation which consists essentially of: 20-40 parts, by weight, of strontium in a water-soluble salt thereof; 50-100 parts, by weight, of magnesium in a water-soluble salt thereof; 60-125 parts, by weight, of calcium in a water-soluble salt thereof; and 0.06-0.15 parts, by weight, lithium in a water-soluble salt thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
A solid formulation which consists essentially of: 20-40 parts, by weight, of strontium in a water-soluble salt thereof; 50-100 parts, by weight, of magnesium in a water-soluble salt thereof; 60-125 parts, by weight, of calcium in a water-soluble salt thereof; and 0.06-0.15 parts, by weight, lithium in a water-soluble salt thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
9 words
The solid formulation of claim 2 in tabletted form.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
9 words
The solid formulation of claim 2 in powder form.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
The solid formulation of claim 2 in pellet or capsule form.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
The solid formulation of claim 2, which when added to a predetermined volume of distilled water, produces an aqueous solution containing: 20-40 mg/liter Strontium ions; 50-100 mg/liter Magnesium ions; 60-125 mg/liter Calcium ions; and 0.06-0.15 mg/liter Lithium ions.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
58 words
The method of making a potable water which comprises the step of: adding to distilled water, water-soluble salts consisting essentially of strontium, magnesium, calcium and lithium in an amount sufficient to produce a concentration range of between 20-40 mg/liter Strontium ion; 50-100 mg/liter Magnesium ion; 60-125 mg/liter Calcium ion; and 0.06-0.15 mg/liter Lithium ion in the said water.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
58 words
The method of making a potable water which comprises the step of: adding to distilled water, water-soluble salts consisting essentially of strontium, magnesium, calcium and lithium in an amount sufficient to produce a concentration range of between 20-40 mg/liter Strontium ion; 50-100 mg/liter Magnesium ion; 60-125 mg/liter Calcium ion; and 0.06-0.15 mg/liter Lithium ion in the said water.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim

Claim 12
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 7 wherein said water-soluble salts are added in powder form.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 7 wherein said water-soluble salts are added in pellet form.
