I don't think so. The minerals would remain even after boiling, and I don't think that there "vital nutrients" (I'm thinking vitamins, protein, etc.) in water normally.

Boiling water is mostly done as a way to get rid of any harmful bacteria that is usually found in water from dirty sources, such as streams and lakes. Otherwise, there isn't really any reason to boil tap water, since all of the minerals will still be present in it.

What they said.
The mineral content is manipulated by the water company.
Added or removed depending whether the water is soft or hard.
Check with your local water company and obtain a the current water content stats.
Mine mails an updated one every year and it shows the levels of minerals, chemical pollutants and their acceptable levels, etc.

Drinking water isn't really supposed to have minerals and nutrients in it at all...

no, it should concentrate them because only the water evaporates

It might, but think of what it kills!
