Should I add mineral drops to RO water to prevent mineral leaching?

Asked 3 years ago

My husband wants us to get a reverse osmosis filter for our new apartment. I've been researching the filtration system, which is exactly what we'll need since we'll be drawing water from our private reservoir. I'm worried that if I drink filtered water it will leach nutrients from my body. Should I get mineral drops to avoid this?
