Welcome to our Karma Wellness Water review. Is this probiotic water the real deal or just another water gimmick that’ll come and go like a brief summer rain? That’s what you’re about to find out. Here at Alkaline Water Machine Source, we do the sleuthing so you don’t have to!
In our Karma Water review, we’ll check out the ingredients, probiotic strain, our evaluation, where to buy it in bulk, and several other interesting bits of information. By the end, you’ll know for sure whether this water belongs in your refrigerator.
Let’s start with the available varieties and ingredients for each.
Karma Wellness Water Flavors & Ingredients
Karma Water Flavors
There are four types of Karma Water: Vitamins, Probiotics, Kids, and Energy. In our review, we focus on Vitamins and Probiotics.
Here’s a breakdown of the available flavors for each product line:
- Vitamins: Orange Mango, Açai Pomegranate, Pineapple Coconut, Raspberry Guava Jackfruit, Passionfruit Green Tea
- Probiotics: Blueberry Lemonade, Berry Cherry, Kiwi Lemon, Strawberry Lemonade, Tropical Coconut
- Kids: Fruit Punch, Berry Blast, Tropical Twist
- Energy: Raspberry Matcha, Lemon Matcha, Mango Matcha
Ingredients
What’s in Karma Wellness Water? Each variety of Karma Water is made to boost your health in a specific way. For example, the Orange Mango flavor boosts mental alertness. This angle is the same angle Vitamin Water took decades ago. Is Karma doing a better job than Vitamin Water and serving up a superior product?
Each bottle of Karma vitamin water provides 110% of 7 essential vitamins along with a custom antioxidant blend for each flavor. Let’s take a closer look at the orange mango flavor that’s for sharper thinking and mental alertness.
Orange Mango special ingredients:
- Choline
- Coenzyme Q10
- Yerba Mate
- Eleutherococcus Senticosus Root Extract
- Guarana Seed Extract
Obviously, Karma has gone well beyond Vitamin Water to create a unique blend of ingredients for each of its flavors. In addition to the antioxidant blend for each flavor, Karma adds the following 7 vitamins: A, C, D, E, B3, B5, B6, B12.
When we review packaged products and healthy bottled water brands, we always check the “other ingredients” since every company must list its ingredients. Oftentimes, companies don’t advertise the ingredients included in their lists of other ingredients because the ingredients are unhealthy. Is Karma different?
Karma uses citric acid as a preservative (harmless). The most suspect ingredient is “natural flavor.” The company uses “spring water” as its base and cane sugar & stevia as sweeteners. Overall, there are no unhealthy Karma Water ingredients that we see.
Probiotic Strain Ganeden BC30
Before we move on to our review, let’s check out the Probiotic water. It too contains the 7-vitamin blend. The main difference is the addition of probiotic strain Ganeden BC30.
According to Karma, Ganeden BC30 is an extremely stable probiotic that delivers 10x more live probiotic cells than traditional yogurt. Karma advertises 2 billion cultures per bottle and no refrigeration is necessary.
I’ve taken probiotics for years and often take 100 billion CFU capsules #ad. What I like about Karma’s probiotic is that the science is sound. Ganeden BC30 is a powerful probiotic that can survive extreme conditions until it has a chance to grow in your gut.
This type of probiotic strain is similar to a seed, in the way it protects itself with an outer shell until it’s “planted” in your intestines. Overall, we like what Karma has done here.

Our Karma Wellness Water Review
I broke our review into two parts to make it easier to digest:
Likes
- Karma’s ingredients impress us the most. Most of the time, “healthy” drinks sneak in unhealthy preservatives or other ingredients we don’t want in our diets. Karma did a great job of minimizing unnecessary ingredients.
- We love probiotics, and we think Karma uses a high-quality strain that’ll actually deliver live probiotics to your gut. One of the problems with inferior probiotics is they don’t deliver what they advertise since the probiotic strains degrade in the bottle or don’t survive long enough to make it to your gut. On top of that, the 2-billion figure is substantial for each bottle.
- The Karma cap is a nice touch. Karma keeps its ingredients fresh by separating the vitamins, probiotics, and antioxidant blends from the water until you’re ready to drink.
- The Vermont spring water source is another reason we like Karma. We prefer to drink spring water or ionized water because spring water is often alkaline due to its natural mineral content. We like that Karma chose spring water as its base instead of reverse osmosis water.
- Most people are loving the Karma flavors.
- It’s a low-carb drink. There are barely any calories in Karma, and it provides a wide range of essential vitamins, which means you aren’t adding a bunch of empty calories to your diet.
- The antioxidant blends are interesting. I’ve personally taken vitamins and herbs for well over a decade, so I know how to spot inferior supplements. Karma’s blends are eclectic, robust, and pack quite a punch.
Dislikes
- While we do think Karma Water is indeed a healthy drink, it’s not something we recommend drinking daily to get your vitamins. In other words, Karma shouldn’t regularly replace healthy foods or be leaned on daily.
- There was a mold problem that appears to have been resolved because we didn’t see any mold reports in the current info.
Our Final Score: 7.5/10
Bottom Line
When we first decided to take a closer look at Karma Water, we had low expectations. Packaged health drinks have a long track record of being duds. Health drinks typically go in and out of style like social media trends.
Will Karma Water stand the test of time? We don’t know, but one thing we do know is that it’s one of the better bottled healthy drinks currently on the market.
Is Karma Water healthy? Final Answer.
Karma Water is healthy when consumed in moderation. It becomes unhealthy when someone depends on it as a primary source of vitamins. We recommend the probiotic version first because Karma’s probiotic strain is one of the best currently being sold by a health drink company.
