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.

Sulphate

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.

During Sports

(Ca,  Mg,  Na,  K,  HCO3, pH)

Non-carbonated waters will be found in this category.

In sports, the body loses a lot of fluid through sweating. Sufficient drinking is therefore important, both for professionals and for amateur athletes. With a fluid loss of 2% of the body weight, it comes already to performance losses. Consequences can be dizziness, headache, difficulty concentrating, weakness and muscle cramps. Sweat also causes a number of important minerals, such as Sodium, potassium, and magnesium excreted. During sports, we recommend drinking water without gas.

Sodium is involved in the regulation of fluid balance and blood pressure, magnesium is important for energy metabolism and ensures well-functioning muscles and nerves. Hydrogen carbonate or high pH water has been shown to retard muscle acidification, promote recovery and promote performance. For this purpose, it is recommended to prefer water with a hydrogen carbonate content of at least 1200 mg/l or water with a pH value not lower than 8,5. Mineral waters in this category are very well suited to reintroduce the lost sodium and/or magnesium to the body. Some waters have particularly high levels of bicarbonate or very high pH value. Since very few waters have all 5 of these properties in larger quantities, you should still take a look at the composition and select the water according to your personal needs.

  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.

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.

Gastronomy

These mineral waters are good food and wine companion. If you want to enjoy clean mineral water at a meal, we recommend choosing averagely mineralized, less carbonated or completely non-carbonated water. Balanced mineral waters are especially good, not too salty and not too bare. Also, mineral waters with a balanced mineral composition, in which no ingredient is predominant, will best suit wine.

Mineral waters with total mineralization from 500 to 1500 mg/l are generally well-matched with acidic white wines. In particular, high-end restaurants, for example, between dishes, tend to offer the client small aerated mineral water shots, which refresh the taste buds very well and easily activate the stomach. Although nutritionists do not advise drinking a lot of water during a meal, it will not prevent an expert from enjoying good water.

Overall Balance

In this category you will find very balanced waters- overall good for the whole body and are to be used every day without any limitations. Most of them are light or medium mineralized waters.

Constipation

The use of sulfate-rich waters for constipation problems has a long tradition. In this category are gathered waters with at least 1200mg/l Sulfate (SO4). The mechanism of Sulfate action is well-known: sulfate keeps osmotically water in the large intestine and promotes additionally the water secretion into the intestine. This increases the fluid content of the stool and its consistency becomes softer. This will increase stool volume and at the same time, the intestinal passage is accelerated. The study by scientists at the University of Freiburg shows that people with constipation can use this effect in everyday life with sulfate-containing water without getting addicted to it. 

For immediate effect, we recommend water with a sulfate content of more than 3000 mg/l.

Good luck ;)

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.

Everyday water

(Low or medium TDS)

This section includes waters that are positioned as mild to moderate mineralization waters for adults everyday use. This water category is not very different from the family water category. The only and the main difference from the family waters is that the family waters category contains waters with a less specific composition and can be used without restriction by people of almost any age. Although, if you are looking specifically for baby waters, for example, we recommend that you look at the baby waters section, as they differ by many criteria. 

Family Water

(Low or medium  TDS)

Drinking is important - for all generations. Dehydration can have serious consequences. Already with a loss of 2% of the total body fluid, it comes to mental and physical performance losses, e.g. of concentration and reactivity. To compensate the daily fluid loss an adult should drink between 1.5 and 2.5 liters of fluid daily (33ml/kg).

But that can be much more depending on the life situation. The right drinks can help us with the challenges in work, school, sports, and leisure. Natural mineral water (natural waters are the best) is the ideal thirst quencher for the whole family. In addition, it supplies us with valuable minerals and trace elements. The mineralization of the waters from this category is in the low to medium range and is suitable for all those who do not make any special demands on the mineral content.

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.

Pregnancy

(High -Ca, SO4, Mg, low- NO3)

A common problem during pregnancy is constipation. A fiber-rich diet, physical activity and a lot of fluids help against this. The ideal liquid is mineral water with sulfate and a low carbon dioxide gas content. Controlled low levels of gas in the water is an additional contribution to the healthy development of the mother and the child.

Therefore, beverages in this recommendation category have at least 150 mg/l of calcium, at least 250 mg/l of sulfate and not more than 10 mg/l of the pollutant nitrate. Compared to tap water, mineral waters with very low nitrate content have significantly lower values than tap water (50 mg/l). In addition, mineral waters are protected from direct environmental influences such as plant fertilization and the like, as the sources are mostly deep underground. All sources of mineral waters are seriously examined by the responsible departments and certified accordingly.

Water is the most natural food. It helps your child develop healthily during pregnancy. In this time, by drinking special mineral waters, you can deliberately support your body and baby. If a woman is pregnant, her need for calcium increases significantly. Of course, this additional need can be covered with milk and dairy products. However, those who are allergic to cow's milk and vegans need other calcium sources - such as calcium-containing water.

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.

Heart

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for human life. It protects the heart and blood from the effects of stress, which has led to it being called the "anti-stress mineral". Magnesium is involved in the production and operation of more than 300 enzymes.

Strong Teeth

(Si, Ca, F)

If you do not like dairy products, special attention should be paid to calcium-rich mineral water. Not only does it provide stable bones, skin and strong hair, it also protects the teeth. For mineral water to be considered rich in calcium, water must contain at least 150 mg of calcium per liter. Fluoride, which can be found in natural mineral water, is just as healthy for teeth as it forms a protective layer for them. In small doses, fluoride is very healthy, not only for teeth but also for bones. In addition to calcium, healthy teeth also require fluoride. This helps to prevent the formation of caries and to maintain tough tooth enamel. Pay attention to the fact that the water contains a lot of calcium and silicon and at least 1 mg of fluorine, but not more than 1.5 mg per liter of water. If fluoride is more than 1.5 mg/l, the water is not recommended for children under 7 years of age.

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.

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.
