Since you recommend taking the minerals with distilled water, how long after we take the minerals is it okay to drink tap or bottled water? Also, do you recommend avoiding tap water altogether?

So, 30 minutes to an hour later should be fine. You can drink regular water at that point.

And yeah, I don’t recommend tap water. Drink filtered water, bottled water, or mineral water. Or a combination of that. But I wouldn’t drink tap water regularly.
