Dasani has a typical pH of 5.0 – 6.5 — mildly acidic.
Dasani is produced by The Coca-Cola Company and is one of the most widely available bottled water brands in the United States. It begins as purified municipal water and undergoes extensive reverse-osmosis filtration before a small mineral blend (magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, salt) is added for taste.
RO strips calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate — the natural buffers that hold water near neutral. Without them, pH drifts downward.
The pinch of magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride and salt Coca-Cola adds is for flavor, not buffering. It does not meaningfully raise pH.
Demineralized water absorbs ambient CO₂ readily, forming carbonic acid that pulls pH into the 5.0–6.5 range.
Yes. A slightly acidic pH does not make water unsafe — the FDA does not regulate bottled water pH, and Dasani meets all bottled-water safety standards. Healthy adults regulate body pH tightly regardless of what they drink.
Dasani typically measures pH 5.0 to 6.5 — mildly acidic. The exact value varies slightly by batch and CO₂ exposure.
No. Dasani sits below neutral, so it is the opposite of alkaline.
No. The pH range is well within safe drinking limits and does not affect blood pH in healthy people.
