Abstract: The invention relates to the field of drinking water treatment and can be used in public utilities, food industry, and medicine. The proposed artificially mineralized drinking water contains at least one water-soluble compound of magnesium and at least one water-soluble compound of zinc, the concentrations of which in equivalent to magnesium and zinc amounting to 5-65 mg/l and 1-5 mg/l, respectively. The magnesium and zinc compounds are preferably selected from chlorides and/or sulfates. The water may additionally contain water-soluble compounds of calcium, preferably calcium chloride; compounds of fluorine (with 0.1-1.5 mg/l concentration of fluorine) and/or selenium (with 2-9 mg/l concentration of selenium) and/or iodine (with 10-125 ?g/l concentration of iodine), and also compounds of sodium and/or potassium, preferably their hydrogen carbonates and/or chlorides and/or sulfates. The mass ratio of magnesium to zinc is 1:0.02-1.
