Low Sodium

We regularly hear and read warnings about overdosing on common salt (sodium) in diets. People who are sensitive to salt can actually develop a high blood pressure if it is consumed too much. Table salt is a sodium chloride chemical compound. Natural mineral waters usually contain sodium in the form of sodium bicarbonate and only very small amounts of sodium chloride. Therefore, they are usually harmless. We have collected mineral waters with a particularly low sodium content (less than 20 mg/l). According to the legislator, such mineral waters may be labeled "Suitable for use in reduced-sodium diets".

Low TDS

The total amount of dissolved solids (TDS) or mineralization is the total amount of all the substances dissolved in water, through the soil layers. TDS content in water is measured in milligrams per liter (mg/l). In different countries the gradation of TDS varies slightly from very mild to moderate levels of

  • Ultralight 1 - 50 mg/l,
  • mild 50 - 500 mg/l,
  • medium 500 - 1000 mg/l,
  • high 1000 - 1500 mg/l
  • up to very high 1500 - 3000 mg/l,
  • and even super-high 3000 - 20000 mg/l mineralisation.

TDS is a major factor affecting the taste of the water - the higher the TDS, the greater the taste differences. The total mineralization of water (TDS) is another indicator of dry residue. The dry residue parameter of water at 180° or 260°C may be up to 30% lower than the TDS figure. This means that the total amount of substances dissolved in water can be even twice as high!

Daily mineral norm

Water mineral content ratio to total recommended daily mineral intake (%)

Daily mineral intake norm

This graph shows the water mineral content ratio to the Total recommended daily mineral intake for an adult person.
For sportsmen and pregnant, these amounts for some minerals may vary.
This information gives you an overall feeling about the water character.

This does not mean that the water which contains a low amount of these elements has less value and more of these elements are better. Water with high mineral content should be consumed per strict recommendations.

The Total daily recommended intake norm:
(Ca) Calclium  1000 mg = 100%
(Mg) Magnesium 375 mg = 100%
(Na) Sodium 3000 mg = 100%
(K) Potasium 3500 mg = 100%
(Cl) Chlorine 3000 mg = 100%

Calcium

Calcium (Ca) can leave a dry aftertaste.

Calcium strengthens bones, teeth and is responsible for nerve impulse action.

If you eat dairy products on a daily basis, that's enough. The other good alternative may be calcium-containing water.

Calcium plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth.

Calcium in the nerves and muscle cells is responsible for impulse and hormonal signal transmission. It also regulates the activity of different enzymes, it has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties.

Every day you need about 1000 mg.

Young people and seniors should receive more calcium. Especially a lot of calcium is in milk and cheese. If you do not eat dairy products every day, calcium-containing mineral water is a great alternative.

If calcium is lacking, the body is taking it from the skeletal bone, which can cause osteoporosis or "bone loss" in the long run. Especially it may affect older people, mainly women. Calcium deficiency can also cause headaches, muscle spasms, and irritability.

Food that contains this element the most.

Chloride

Chloride (Cl) tastes salty and a bit bitter.

Chloride, along with other minerals, affects the osmotic pressure in the cells and the balance of the body's acid-alkaline balance.

Combined with hydrogen, it forms the hydrochloric acid in the stomach and thus promotes digestion.

If the body lacks chloride, symptoms include stomach acid disorder, diarrhea. Chloride as an ingredient in gastric juice ensures the balance of acids and alkalis.

Chloride deficiency can be manifested in muscle spasms or heart dysfunction.

Hydrogen Carbonate

Hydrogen carbonate (HCO3), also called bicarbonate, tastes light, soap-like.

 

It has an alkaline effect, and it can improve the body's acid-alkaline balance, i.e., bicarbonate is able to bond the stomach acid.

Hydrogen carbonate can help with various digestive problems. Water with high bicarbonate content gently relieves heartburn and may reduce inflammation of the gastric mucosa.

Hydrogen carbonate is not a mineral, but is the salt of carbonic acid, and is present in each mineral water.

Thanks to the acid-neutralizing effect, it not only delivers a pleasantly neutral and natural flavor to mineral water but also improves the body's acid-alkali balance.

Magnesium

Magnesium has a bitter taste, sometimes it can give a sweet aftertaste.

Magnesium is a very important element for the heart.

It is considered to be an antistress mineral and is also vital for the skin.

Magnesium is important for the transport of nerve impulses, which helps the muscles to relax.

Magnesium activates more than 300 enzymes in the body and regulates electrochemical impulses.

Every day you need 350 mg for men, 300 mg for women, 400 mg for young people.

More magnesium is needed for pregnant women, athletes, and people in stressful situations.

Manifestations of magnesium deficiency: leg cramps, migraine, headache, cardiac and circulatory organ failure, may be at increased risk of thrombosis.

Food that contains this element the most.

Sodium

Sodium (Na) has a salty taste.

 

Combined with chloride and potassium sodium regulates fluid balance in the body, it is necessary for nerve and muscle activity, for the activation of enzymes.

Most often sodium is taken with salt-containing products.

Every day you need 3000 mg of sodium and 3000 mg of chloride. Athletes need more sodium.

Sodium deficiency can cause weakness and seizures, even up to the circulatory collapse, especially in sports.

Caution: Sodium is not the same as cooking salt.

If there is a lot of physical activity, the amount of sodium needed per day may increase.

We often hear alerts on sodium overdoses, usually associated with salt in the diet. The cooking salt is a chemical compound - sodium chloride.

Mineral waters typically contain sodium in the form of sodium bicarbonate and only very small amounts such as sodium chloride.

If you are considering a low salt diet, use mineral water with low sodium content.

Sulfate

Sulfate (SO4) has a slightly salty and bitter taste.

Sulfate plays an important role in the fat metabolism and liver detoxification process. It helps to improve digestion, stimulates intestinal and biliary function.

High sulfate mineral waters can stimulate digestion. It acts as a lightweight laxative but does not addict. Those who regularly use sulfate-containing mineral water naturally stimulate intestinal activity and prevent the onset of constipation.

When used with magnesium and calcium, the effect of sulfate can be increased.

About Source
Filtered, Purified or Distilled Water
This kind of water corresponds to Drinking Water category, and its natural chemical composition is changed through filtration, purification or distillation process. Drinking Water (Table Water) has more flexible rules than other water categories. The chemical composition may be changed, and it can be any water that corresponds to the requirements of Drinking Water. It has no specific origin and may be obtained from different kind of sources, more common underground. But it can be any water type: rain, sea, lake or even glacial water. Therefore, drinking water is allowed to be bottled elsewhere than the original birthplace as it is required for Natural Mineral Water and Natural Spring Water categories. Drinking Water has no connection with the mineral amount in the water (in Europe). In some countries Drinking Water must not contain more than 1000mg/l of minerals. Please find out more about these categories in Learning Materials.
