I am trekking thru Nepal. A lot of reading recommends iodine tablets. It's been difficult to find even at REI. Would Aquatab work for my trip?

The Aquatabs will be fine. I used them, as did 3 other friends I met while hiking in Nepal and none of us got sick. Aquatabs work great and don't give water the terrible taste that iodine does.

I would recommend them, as one backpacker to another - they're small and light and great to stick into your water bladder. They work similarly to iodine but remove additional things iodine can't and don't leave a dreadful taste. I used them hiking through Africa in September and I did not get sick, so I'd use them again.

No idea! Go to the Aquasana website and see if you can find the information there. If not, give them a call, they'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Mr. Philip, you sir jumped to the conclusion that this is for still water instead of sparkling. But if I accept your contention that it will be still, then I recommend water purified by equatorial trade winds, surrounded by ancient volcanoes, bottled on a remote island, then flown via a Gulfstream G650 at a speed to 610 mph to my gym. The water should be changed daily for maximum freshness. Discerning rowers might instead fill this rower with a really lovely Château d'Yquem (I prefer the 2001) hand selected in Gironde, France.

Mela-Fix would help prevent secondary bacterial or fungal infections, but would not help eliminate the parasite infestation you are trying to treat. The Aquari-Sol should be best.

Its easy to fall for all the bells and whistles for a hot tub. Bromine can irritate some people and isn't great in combination with some water sources. Powdered chlorine with frequent pH checks will make a big difference. I have always found the Nature2 to be very compatible with the chlorine.

I have switched to Blue Adult Indoor Health with Life Source Bits. Iodine is not listed it the ingredients for this product. I don't know about Blue Buffalo Wilderness Grain as I no longer have thepackaging so that I can review for you.

I am not a health expert but according to the iodine protocols Celtic sea salt is approved for salt loading. I have found that taking it until you can taste it is a good barometer. Good luck.

Short answer is No. Long answer... You will need something like the the Olicamp Space Saver Cup - which I use with my 32oz Nalgene bottle - which will fit most all 32oz Nalgene type water bottles. Or the GSI Outdoors Glacier Bottle Cup/Pot will work as well, although I have not used it. The GSI cup is 18oz so it might not fit as snug as the Olicamp cup. Both of these are stainless steel by the way and are available on Amazon. I bought the TOAKS cup because it fit in the water bottle compartment on the Maxpedition Jumbo versipak. The Olicamp - and I would assume - the GSI are too large to fit. I paired the TOAKS cup with a 28oz kleen kanteen water bottle that I got at REI for use with my Maxpedition bag. Works great. If your cup has to be titanium then I have not found one yet that nests as the two above mentioned cups do. Hope that helps.

I have used these before, but prefer the Katadyn Micropur Water Purification tabs. I know Katadyn are push through packs and do last. I treat water for 20+ people in Africa with the Katadyn tabs every year and double the process with a Katadyn filter for safe measure.

I really don't know the answer to that, but I would not think so. I wish I could tell you it does, but you are talking about something critical to safe health, so I'd go to a store like REI and talk to an expert about what to purchase.

Try to purchase DI water from water store. It is low cost and efficiency to lower pH.

No, just start drinking/using this water. I have been using Essentia for 6 months now. I noticed within a day or 2 that I was feeling better. I have joint pain from a knee injury. After about 3 days of drinking this water it was noticeably better?? In month 2 or 3 I was traveling and did not have any PH water. I could tell!! I was noticeably thirsty even after drinking regular bottled water and felt dehydrated. Just as before I started using this stuff. I am very surprised the difference it makes. I use it in place of water on everything, coffee, tea, cooking Etc...

I have noticed it stick to a spoon, I no longer purchase the Now brand since I found they sourced from China. I found a California company that produces their own Spirulina which I feel is safer. I purchase EarthRise - sold through Amazon.

Yes, this company is following in the fathers foot steps and seem to use not only vegetarian capsules, but there are only herbs in there.... no trash. no fillers, and I have used several of his formulas with great success. If your Thyroid is acting up you may want to investigate your iodine intake. Sluggish thyroids often need to be fed. Research ....... cause only you know what your dealing with, but this is a great product.

Not sure you will have to look at their website. I bought these and they worked great however they're discontinuing them so what is left on Amazon the price has doubled. I now use RepHresh and they were good and less expensive. There are other things that you need to change that factor into BV drinking more water using clear and free detergent on your undergarments antibacterial soap but the pills definitely help. They did not upset my stomach. I would advise on trying a product that is not being discontinued and is less expensive. Only certain probiotics have that same component that this one does the one I mentioned has it Not sure you will have to look at their website.

Norwegian Kelp is a trace mineral supplement, (225 mcg) and is a natural source of Iodine. The recommendation is to take 1 tablet with food. If you are pregnant, nursing or are planning surgery, it is recommended that you contact your doctor first before taking this product. Thank you for your question!!

woops....if this is your first time using a hydro pen, then you might want to notify the company. I understand they are fairly good about customer service. I looked for my info, but can't find it. Most sticks/pens of this alkalizing sort will tell you to not use tap water, but filtered or bottled instead. Most tell you to put in 12-16 and shake often and let sit for at least an hour for best ph. for health. some say do not let sit overnight in water because the ph will be too much. others say not to let it dry out for the minerals inside will loose thier potency. so, as you can see, try the company first. Look for the seller on your amazon account and e-mail him. In the meantime you might want to go to a u-tube video and look under the company's name and hydro pen or ph stick. good luck to you. for many of us, these sticks really do work for detoxing the body, and getting the intestines cleansed. I will keep looking for my paper that came with mine.
