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.

Fluoride

Fluoride (F) has a sweet and soapy taste and it plays a very important role in bone and tooth structure.

Fluoride naturally occurring in water can be above, at, or below recommended levels.

Fluoride remains in the teeth and can inhibit dental caries. It also increases bone density.

The result of fluoride deficiency may be brittle bones and bad teeth.

Caution: too much unhealthy. Children and adolescents need fluoride for growing teeth, but they should not be consumed too much. Therefore, the legislator has laid down an appropriate reference to the labeling of mineral waters with a fluoride content of more than 1.5 mg/l. For children under 7 years of age, it is not recommended to drink such water every day for prolonged periods.

Fluoride tends to be concentrated also in tea, coffee, shellfish, spinach, grapes, raisins, carrots, wine, cucumber, dill herb, tomatoes, asparagus, beans, peas, white rice, and potatoes.

It is important to understand that natural fluoride and synthetic industrial fluoride is quite a different substance.

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.

Potassium

Potassium (K) provides water balance in the body.

It tastes a bit salty and bitter.

Potassium plays an important role in the regulation of fluid and acid-alkaline balance.

Potassium activates various enzymes and is especially important for heart and muscle activity.

Potassium is up to 98% in the body cells.

Potassium deficiency causes muscle weakness, decreased blood pressure, disturbances in heart rate, loss of appetite, and constipation.

A good recommendation for active athletes is to consume potassium-rich waters.

Potassium regulates cardiac and muscle activity relaxes muscles and nerves. Together with sodium, it helps to maintain the balance of water in the body.

When eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, and milk, you can take the necessary 2 grams of potassium daily.

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.

Manganese

Manganese (Mn) plays an important role in the management of body metabolism, osteoporosis, reducing fatigue, reproduction, sprains, inflammation, brain function, and epilepsy.

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.

Total Silicon amount

Silicic Acid (Si/SiO2/H2SiO3), also known as silicon, is a real well-being and beauty mineral, which tastes neutral.

Silicon helps to strengthen nails, hair, and skin, stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis in the body.

Silicon is important for everybody.

Silicon plays an important role in bone formation, which contributes to the absorption of calcium. The strength of tendons and connective tissue also depends on the amount of silicon in the body, it also strengthens the immune system.

The deficiency of silicon can cause bone flesh (osteoporosis), brittle nails and hair, pallor, wrinkle skin, etc..

Silicon in nature is not present in pure form, it is always in combination with oxygen - like silicic acid.

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.
