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.

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.

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.

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 550 mg of sodium and 800 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.

Very High 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!

For Recovery

(Ca,  Mg,  Na,  K,  HCO3, pH)

Post-exercise recovery means faster regeneration or replacement of electrolytes that are lost. Therefore, if your water contains significant amounts of minerals, then we recommend this water in the regeneration section. It has been found that bicarbonate and/or high-pH mineral water can reduce muscle acidity, improve their function and promote regeneration. For this purpose, it is recommended to choose water with a bicarbonate composition of at least 1200 mg/l, or a pH value of no less than 8.5.

pH balance

(HCO3, pH)

To maintain the acid-alkaline balance of the body, we recommend the use of mineral and therapeutic waters containing at least 600 mg/l of bicarbonate or to drink water high in pH. The mineral bicarbonate is known as an acid buffer. It has an alkaline effect, so it can attract stomach acid. Waters with high bicarbonate content help to gently relieve burning sensations (heartburn) and can reduce inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Medicines designed to reduce heartburn are also being developed, using bicarbonate as the base ingredient.

With a slightly sweet and soapy flavor, bicarbonate helps to regulate the acid-alkaline balance of the body. It can be useful with heartburn and irritated stomachs. Bicarbonate in the body can also be formed from foods such as fruits and vegetables or can be taken from some mineral waters containing more than 600 mg/l of bicarbonate.

Digestion

(SO4 , HCO3)

For humans with digestive disorders, it is worth looking at the sulfate content in water. Waters containing sulfates can stimulate biliary activity and intestinal activity, as well as soften stools. Sulfates play an important role in liver fat metabolism. It promotes digestion and stimulates the intestines and bile. That's why, in this category, we have collected sulfate mineral waters with a sulfate content of at least 200 mg/l. For people with constipation, it is recommended to drink water with a sulfate content of at least 1200 mg/l. These mineral waters will be very suitable for restoring lost sodium and/or magnesium in the body. Some waters have a particularly high bicarbonate level. Water may also have a different, very specific composition that activates digestion. Since very few waters contain all of the three components in large quantities, you should preferably look at the composition of the minerals and choose the water according to your needs.

Respectable Age

(Mg, SO4, K, Na, HCO3, Si)

For those who do not like milk and dairy products, other bone-strengthening calcium sources are needed. We all want to be healthy and active in old age! A sufficient amount of liquid is vitally important. This is especially true for the elderly, as the feeling of thirst decreases as we get older, so often we drink too little water! You should consume at least 1.5 liters of fluid per day. Depending on the state of the health, as one’s age increases, there is also an increased risk of a lack of vital vitamins, minerals, and fluids. Because of age, energy consumption is decreasing, but the need for essential substances remains the same. Mineral water can make a good contribution to supplying these important minerals. Calcium is often lacking, which can lead to bone-strength loss, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. If used with certain medicines, the need for additional sodium, potassium, and magnesium may increase. Magnesium also helps the function of both the cardiovascular system and the brain. Sulfate enhances food digestion, while bicarbonate helps to maintain the balance of the body's acids and alkalis. In addition to higher levels of calcium, water in this category usually has high total mineralization.

The allocation of mineral waters is our recommendation for your individual needs. As part of healthy and varied nutrition, you should take at least 1.5 to 2 liters of fluid per day.

Stress

Stress today is a common occurrence for many of us. This, of course, also affects our health. Internal anxiety, fatigue, tension, headaches - both body and soul feel stress. Magnesium has a relaxing and soothing effect. It is not for nothing that it is known as the "salt of inner peace". We recommend that you use the mineral waters listed here as needed. Together with healthy and varied diets, it is desirable to consume at least 1.5 to 2 liters of liquid per day.

Headache

Mg- Magnesium is a mineral that performs many important functions in the human body. If the substance is not adequately absorbed in food, there is a lack of magnesium in the body. The result may be headaches, nervousness, muscle cramps, and even heart arrhythmia. Our brain and our entire nervous system require a lot of energy. Magnesium plays an important role here. Therefore, migraine sufferers have a particularly high need for magnesium, as it can easily be deficient. Lack of magnesium promotes migraine attacks. Tension headaches may also be the result of a lack of magnesium.

Brain Activity

Work, concentration and brain activity.
In order to achieve good concentration and mental activity, it is absolutely necessary to drink enough. Dehydration can affect one’s ability to concentrate and react. Important: when we are thirsty, it's too late, because thirst is a manifestation of the negative water balance of the body. Do you want your nerves to be like strings? The right water can help. For example, magnesium, which is involved in innumerable metabolic processes, can also activate your grey cells. This, in turn, can increase resistance to stress. There are even indications that a decrease in the level of magnesium in the blood increases sensitivity to noise. Magnesium also provides children with good concentration and mental activity. If this mineral is missing, it can cause insomnia, rapid tiredness, poor concentration, and even headaches. For your fluid balance, it does not matter which type of water you drink. For those who want more active brain activity, we recommend drinking water containing at least 50 mg of magnesium per liter. Silicon also affects the nervous system and the brain. It normalizes metabolism, which is a catalyst for many body processes.

Hangover

(HCO3, Ca, Mg, Na, K, pH )

This section contains various waters to help you recover after a long night. The mineral composition of these waters can be very different, but they have a beneficial effect on the maintenance of the body, liver function, which helps to quickly remove toxins and quickly eliminate the effects of alcohol consumption. For a full recovery on these days, it is recommended to drink more water than usual.
