AQUA Carpatica Launches Nitrate-Free Waters at Whole Foods Market Stores

NEW YORK, April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- AQUA Carpatica, the world's only nitrate-free naturally sparkling natural mineral water, announces the continued expansion of U.S. distribution for its naturally sparkling mineral and still spring varieties at select Whole Foods Market stores in Northern California.  AQUA Carpatica is pleased to increase availability for its pristine water in the U.S. market, generated from a unique land deep within the Carpathian Mountains, one of the remaining untamed forests of Eastern Europe.

AQUA Carpatica offers naturally untouched mineral and spring waters of the highest quality. Purified by nature, AQUA Carpatica is sourced from two distinctive springs located over 200 meters underground. In these ancient springs, there are no processing plants, no human interference – only the purest water, as natural today as it was at the beginning of time.

With no agriculture or industrial activity in the surrounding areas, AQUA Carpatica's source is protected from fertilizers, chemicals, CFCs and other contaminants. The hydro-geological structure of these mountains protects the purity of the water, and enriches the AQUA Carpatica springs with natural minerals and electrolytes beneficial to whole body health. It was scientifically calculated that the underground journey of these waters and the natural filtration process take 40 years.

"With a focus on purity and environmental stewardship, we are proud to be the first brand to bring nitrate-free, naturally sparkling mineral water to the U.S. consumer," said Jean Valvis, President and General Director of Valvis Holding, AQUA Carpatica's parent company. "Like Whole Foods, we are a brand committed to the health and safety of our customers and the protection of our natural resources, and we will continue to do our best in order to preserve the natural purity of our water for centuries to come."

Health Benefits
Nitrate-free and naturally sparkling, AQUA Carpatica Natural Sparkling Mineral Water has a range of health benefits. Due to its unique concentration of calcium and magnesium, it is particularly suited for athletes and people with high levels of physical activity, and its naturally sparkling attributes also help aid in digestion. Both the sparkling and still varieties are also naturally free of sodium, which makes AQUA Carpatica the perfect choice for people on a low sodium diet, or for those suffering from high blood pressure.

AQUA Carpatica springs are:

• Nitrate Free
• Sodium Free
• Naturally Enriched with Natural Electrolytes (Calcium and Magnesium)
• Naturally Alkaline (High pH of 8.2 for AQUA Carpatica still spring water)
• Purified by 40 Years of Natural Underground Journey
• With an Excellent and Clean Taste

Nitrate Awareness
AQUA Carpatica is dedicated to educating consumers regarding the dangers of nitrates in drinking water, as exemplified by the brand's international campaigns enacted to inform the public about the content of their drinking water.

In the U.S., there is currently no regulation regarding nitrates and infants that differs from the 10 mg/l NO3-N Maximum Contaminant Level limit for adults whereas countries like Austria, France, Germany, and Italy have enacted protective legislation requiring nitrate content lower than 2.27 mg/l NO3-N in order to claim the product is healthy for infants. Due to its pure, nitrate-free content, AQUA Carpatica is an ideal choice for pregnant women, young children and for use with infant formulas.

Availability
AQUA Carpatica is now available at select Whole Foods Market stores in Northern California with national availability soon to follow. For more information, visit www.AQUACarpatica.com.
