Will it also make my bones stronger? Where does it come from? Was it in the water to begin with?

Don’t know about your bones but all tap water has some minerals in it.
Good thing too, because if you drink demineralised water it pulls electrolytes out of your cells (I think by osmosis) and eventually you also end up with decreasing bone density.
Most tap water is far from being demineralised. It's a problem if you have a reverse osmosis filtration system though.
Yes it was in the water to begin with, that’s what hard water is.
Ahh right, hard water, thanks.
