obohacená voda s vitaminy


Explanation:
The term "obohacena voda" is OK, but it is mainly used for water which has been fortified with oxygen, see
www.oxyvita.cz/oxyvital_voda.html
I would probably add the word 'vitamins' to differentiate it from oxygenated water.

Also "obohacená minerální voda"

See www.mens-health.cz/clanek.php?id=291
I feel it is important to stress that it is mineral water and not just water fortified with oxygen.

neutral  Johan Venter: Fortified already means that something is added. Putting 's vitaminy" there is basically stating that the consumers are not too bright IMO

  -> I see your point, but Radovan was looking for something different to "obohacena voda" which, incidentally, he has already thought of himself.
