remineralized

Given minerals back

Remineralized describes something that has had minerals restored to it.

Teeth can be remineralized through fluoride treatments or saliva, which deposit calcium and phosphate back into weakened enamel: The dentist said the early cavity had remineralized on its own.

Water or soil can also be remineralized by adding back trace minerals that processing or depletion removed.
