blk. Black Water Review
"Spring Water Infused With Fulvic Acid"
Ok, this is a strange drink by design. It's basically just black water. I saw it at a grocery store in New York that leans toward the healthy side of things. At first I thought it was just a black bottle, but after taking a look, I realized that it was actually black water in a clear bottle.
When I was checking out, the cashier said, "Oh that stuff's nasty!" When I asked why, what does it taste like, she responded "It's nasty: it's black!" No help there, but a funny reaction. I'm not sure that blk. appeals to the average person.
So, the color might fool you into thinking you're drinking flat coke, but it smells and tastes like nothing - or like water. It's just black water.
I'm not sure what fulvic acid is, so I looked it up: Fulvic acid is also known as Humic acid. Aside from turning water black, it seems to have some other uses too. Humic and Fulvic acids are commonly used as a soil supplement in agriculture (great) and sometimes as a nutritional supplement (It's apoly-electrolyte. I have no idea what that means).
The ingredients are: "Filtered spring water with the blk. proprietary blend of fulvic acid trace mineral complex."
The side of the bottle says: "Naturally black, blk. is a refreshing natural spring water infused with Fulvic Acid. Our organic proprietary formula, with a high pH of 9.0+, helps to balance the human body's pH levels. blk. contains over 77 trace minerals and electrolytes, which are an essential part of health & wellness: FRESH WATER TASTE. MAXIMUM BENEFITS. ENJOY THE DARK SIDE OF WATER."

I just bought blk. seeing as so many people have been buying it where I work.
Like many others, I smelled it before I tried it and....nothing. Then I took a sip and I definitely tasted something, but I don't know what. A little salty.
Personally, I don't like it because it just freaks me out a little, though I'm sure if you blindfolded me and asked me to try it, I wouldn't tell the difference.
I hope my comment was helpful to those curious
Fulvic acid is soooo good for you..I Have been taking fulvic acid as a nutritional supplement for years... So i was pretty excited to
it put into a beverage...Yah its not for everyone .. its funny that cola is the same color and way worrse for you but no one would say that its gross...maybe blk shouldnt have marketed it as water but just as a health beverage... Anyway i did a bit of research about blk. and although the NJHW are marketing it its actually own by two canadian sisters.. I met them last month at a trade show and had a chance to talk to them.... i really liked there attitude. They told me it all came about because there mother was diagnosed with cancer and they were looking to get her on a healthy diet.
anyway the shit is so good for you .. ill all for it ...

Stu my darling, your spelling needs immediate attention. You will communicate more effectively if you use correct spelling.
"Worrse" should be "worse"
"its" should be "it's "(the conjunction of it and is)
"I really liked there attitude" should be:
"I really liked their attitude".
"..it all came about because there mother"...
should be, "..it all came about because their mother"...
"anyway, the shit is so good for you"
should be "anyway, the beverage is so good
for you"
It's obvious that you're a smart and caring fellow and a little attention to spelling and punctuation would probably go a long way toward impressing your boss- never a bad thing right?
Karen
Wow Karen aren't u rude as hell. I rather be stu who probably didn't do the misspelling on purpose then some crazy lunatic that comes on blogs to only criticize someone they don't know about their spelling!!! Weirdo!!!
Anyways about the drink its different but pretty good. I find the black look to be very intriguing and would recommend it to others just for the health benefits alone.
Yes Mercy-Karen is a ninny for commenting about someone's spelling! I'm sure it wasn't intentional. How ugly of her to even spell it out one by one! I guess she has nothing better to do but be crazy.
Blackwater is amazing, electrolytes and minerals in water? Love!!! Balancing your Ph..more love!
This "tar" water has a pH of 9. It doesn't balance the pH of your blood. Take a basic chemistry class and learn how the pH scale functions before ignorantly ingesting this liquid which is basically diluted fulvic acid.
Wow Karen.. Do you really have nothing better to do than correct the interweb's spelling? Hope you're not busy. It'll take a while. Don't join facebook.
But come on, seriously? You were browsing the web for info on fulvic infused blk(sic) water and you decide some random, who probably will never check back on this page, needed his spelling/grammar corrected? Because his comments on some drink review site are going to help impress his boss, right? WTF?
I'm glad you're not my boss.
What are you, a school teacher or something?
Seriously though, don't join facebook
hey i live in virginia beach va who sell's it ? i've been trying to fine black water everywhere even online and i have no luck. can someone please tell me where i can buy it . thank you sooo much.
Hey Felicia..good luck finding it anywhere but in NY right now. I live in Cincinnati and have been on the same quest as you and have come up empty handed. I recently took a trip to NY and found it everywhere. I had it shipped to my home from one of the local nutritional stores in Tribeca. You may want to search some nutritional stores in NY and call them to see if they can ship it to you.
I have been very curious about the blak watr as wel. If anyon wood like too corect my speling, pleas feel free. I wood not want my boss too see this site and be unimpressed. Oh the horor!!!! Karen Edeen, my darling, get a f**** life!
thanks julie, that a good idea, now i have a reason the go to ny lol
Hi.
Where in NY did you find it? (Besides TriBeca)
Thank you
What does it make your urine look like? Is your urine out put changed by drinking this blk. water?
Julie, I live in Cincinnati also and you can find it at Jungle Jims in Fairfield!
Ihave been drinking blk for one and a half years at a rate of 3 bottles daily and I think there is something to this fulvic acid.Iam not a scientice or doctor, but I feel nothing but good results.I feel my over all health has improved
has anyone checked out the ph. claim of 9? i don't think so
has anyone checked the ph of 9?? don't think so
Has anyone checked out the PH A 9 ???
Funny how everyone sees Karen's completely irrelevant comment but no one takes into consideration Bobby's comment.
Fulvic acid is not even essential for the body - which means that it doesn't increase the nutritional content of the water itself.
And before you tell me you've taken fulvic acid for years and it works amazingly, please read about the placebo effect.
Laura, I think everyone is just astounded by Karen's rudeness...as was I. I wouldn't drink the water - I won't drink black water in nature & won't do it when someone is selling it.
Luckily I live in NY and a major supermarket, Tops carries it. I had been seeing it and bought some because i was curious. Probibly didn't drink enough to get any health benefits, but not bad. I saw it on Amazon.com too for those who are having trouble fijnding it, here's a link. http://www.amazon.com/Blk-beverages-16-Ounce-Bottles-Pack/dp/B00507A02Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305415555&sr=8-1
Oh Yeah, Hey karen eded, proper names are supposed to be CAPITALIZED!!! Ya new enough to capitalize the month, but not your own name. or maybe you don't think you are important enough to warrant it, maybe thats why you get off on correcting other people's spelling, to make yourself look better...and I no I left the "k" off a few words, I did it just to piss u off...hope it worked. LOL.
i bought this in Maryland the other day at Wegman's....Mostly out of curiosity.
As with anything, you would prob have to drink it for awhile? it dident taste different to me..
BLk, is gonna stop the popularity of it.Might be best to just buy the supplement.
Does it taste like water? Wouldn't it be bitter because it has a ph of 9?
Haha, this is cracking me up! I came to read about black water and now I'm frankly more interested in the absurdity of humans. So, while we're on a grammar roll, we'd might as well not miss anything!
Karen my darling... You had a number of errors in your post:
*(( "its" should be "it's "(the conjunction of it and is) ))
-You put a space that shouldn't be there between the second "it's" and the '"'.
-You are inconsistent with your "should be's"--make up your mind. Do you want to follow them with a colon, comma, or what? Continuity is very important in writing.
*(( "anyway, the shit is so good for you"
should be "anyway, the beverage is so good
for you" ))
-You forgot to capitalize "Anyway", and it is the first word in the sentence! Technically, "shit" is indeed a word and it was used appropriately in Stu's version. He used it for dramatic emphasis, which is very important when used in context for descriptive writing.
Finally:
*(( It's obvious that you're a smart and caring fellow and a little attention to spelling and punctuation would probably go a long way toward impressing your boss- never a bad thing right? ))
-You forgot a comma after "fellow". Also, you've used incorrect spacing between boss and never.
There are likely more errors, and I'm amazed I've spent 7 minutes of my time correcting the ones I have. The reality of which probably suggests that I am channeling my own misdirected frustrations here myself... Maybe we should all just drink black water until we feel better! Still, if you're going to correct other people, make sure you do it correctly yourself. After all, what if poor little Stu were to actually follow your directions? Then he'd still be wrong, and his boss would be just as disappointed. We can't have that now can we? Tehe.
Rant over.
P.s. I think black water is interesting, even if just as a novelty. It's at least going to be just as good for you as water, and if it gets anyone drinking water who normally wouldn't unless it was black, haha, then I say well done!
IamaforeignerIamnotsurehowtospell.-- Sorrrry Karren, you reallly neeed a liife.
For the rest; I bought some today. I was looking to see if it was harmful...
Hopefully I won't end up dead
I will report back my findings 
So yea Bobby, from someone who has taken a basic chemistry class. You obviously dont know what you're talking about. If some ones blood is slightly more acidic than normal then this has the possibility of regulating there blood pH. Why? Because, a pH of 9 makes this an alkaline base, having a counter affect. think before you insult.
Uh, no. Ingesting different ph liquids is not going to "regulate" your blood ph. Your blood ph is closely regulated in a narrow range, or else you die:

Please learn to Google first before buying into medical quackery.
From BLK water, to grammatical mistakes, to human sarcasm to internal body pH level diagnosis... woe is the readers who are curious to read only what is intended. Karen, please we all have someone we never want to hear rant on our vocab in our life, it is never to far to have one less. BLK water whether it be pros or cons shouldn't be a debate less there are issues that wish further attention, like from the health department. And for those who have taken them for ages, good for you. There isn't anything wrong with having what you need in the first place, arguments are invalid. People, you need to think about what you want others to think of you (Karen) before you make shit of yourselves, enough said. Oh, and the water is there because there are reasons for it to be there, so useless talk is useless.
I don’t know if water with dilute Fulvic Acid is the answer to every heath, dietary or nutritional problem. I stumbled upon this site after hearing about this stuff on the weekend complementary and alternative medicine show. The radio shill for Black water claimed it cured just about any disease. He said it causes an average weight loss of 3 lbs per week. He went as far to claim that if everybody drank black water the government could save billions in health care costs.
Modern medicine has not fully embraced the nutritional benefit of eating low fat almost entirely vegetarian diet, but that is far more likely to keep you healthy, than eating the traditional American diet of highly processed, high fat, very low nutritional value food and adding some random supplement like Black Water.
If it was grown on a plant eat it if was made in a plant avoid it.
I am drinking my third bottle of blk. I recently got hooked
On nestle pure life water it is sooooo good. I never realized water could taste so good. So I saw blk and had to try it. It just tastes like spring water, bland water wgich
Definitely leaves a little film in your mouth.I will buy it
Rarely, its on sale at Price Chopper in Scranton,Pa 2 for $3.00 or $1.50 a bottle. So unsale...it must be at least $2.00 per bottle. That is too much. I got spoiled
I love pure life water. Its just too bad thier flavored
Water contauns Splenda© I hate that stuff so the plain
Nestle pure life does not leave a film in my mouth like
Blk. And its way,cheaper. I did try mixing them
And thats good.
Hey all of you perfect grammar buffs ....sorry I am
Typing on a cell phone.about water. Lol you ppl kill mr:-P
Stay away from all Nestle products, they come into small towns, steal water, wreaking havok on the environment, then bottle it in unhealthy plastic bottles and resell it to the town at a massive markup. They are no good.
ok..i came on this site to see if there was any down falls to the water and all i learned is that people are rude and care way too much about what others write or say. Anyways my sister told me about this so i bought some its good but, it gave me cotton mouth or, dry mouth for those who haven't had a rebellious stage. Next time i come on this site i hope to learn something about blk water instead of just rants.
The fulvic acid found in blk water has many health benefits, BUT if you do research you will find that it is actually unhealthy because it is packaged in plastic. As it is a chelator, it is highly reactive and causes the plastic to leak into it. It should only be packaged and consumed from glass containers. I found this out after purchasing the blk water!
Jerky jerkies!
You don't have to buy the BLK water. What you are getting has been known in Ayurvedic medicine as Shilajit.
It historically does have a LOT of health benefits. Look on ebay. You'll find it for sell in capsule form much cheaper than the BLK.
I did buy a bottle of it and after a bit of googling, realized it was something already familiar to me. I just didn't associate the two.
I live in the South and found it in the energy drink section at a Food City store. It runs about 2.50 a bottle.
This site was use full until I got lost in the trolling. I haven't tried Blk. But I'm going to drink 1 bottle a day for 7 days and see how I feel. If I feel better about myself, then I guess it works for the best part. I don't care about Ph or if its just a gimmic, no hard feelings to anyone but before you start ranting on some internet site, bookmark it, do your own test run with any product and review your personal effects. Comment back to me if you agree with anything I said.
PS. Think of it this way. If your doctor told you to take these pills to help your problem would you not give it a try? I'm not saying the chicks that made it are doctors but if your not willing to try something new, just stay home and turn off everything. Dont apply for a job, don't pay attention to commercials, don't do anything.
Keep your own opinions to yourself and review on what is relevent to the topic
I tried BLK water today for the first and last time. I understand the benefits but just like Alea, there was a taste to it. To me it tasted like motor oil. I had two of my co-workers try it and they said the taste was fine. It tasted like water, the color just threw them off. I will look for the supplements. I found it in the grocery store "Shoprite" and it was only $1.99. Maybe I'll try it one more time just to be sure about the taste.
They sell it at every smoothie king, i want to know how often i can drink it. or if it will mess me up if i drink too much of it.
