Calcium in bottled water is ranging up to around 500 mg/l with most waters containing below 100mg/l.
The average daily requirement of calcium is approximately 800 mg. Babies require less, 15- to 19-year olds require substantially more. Calcium is multi-talented: it stabilizes bone structure, teeth and cell membranes, it ensures transmission of impulses in the nerves and muscles, and it fulfils important functions to prevent blood clotting. Calcium has a balancing effect for numerous skin allergies. If the body does not have an adequate supply of calcium there is decalcification of the bones (osteoporosis): the risk of fracture increases.
Magnesium in bottled water is ranging up to around 100mg/l with most waters containing below 20 mg/l.
An adult requires between 300 and 400 mg magnesium per day. Magnesium is present in almost all human cells. Magnesium activates the Enzymes for producing energy, plays a role in the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscular system and ensures regular contraction of muscles. It is also important for bone structure; it expands the blood vessels thus preventing the risk of heart attack. Lack of magnesium frequently leads to nervousness, lack of concentration, dizziness and headache through to migraine.
Sodium in bottled water is ranging up to 1200 mg/l with very view waters (Vichy Catalan, Vichy Celeste, ..) and most waters contain below 10mg/l.
The average daily requirement of sodium is to a large extent dependent on the amount of excretion. With particularly severe physical stress normal daily requirement increases from approximately 3 g to 15 g and more. sodium chloride (cooking salt) is significantly involved in regulating water balance. It always maintains the optimal pressure in body fluids (particularly in the blood serum) and thus ensures tissue tension. Sodium influences the metabolism of the heart and plays a role in co-ordination the regular contractions of the heart muscle. Under normal living conditions and eating habits, salt or sodium deficiency is scarcely possible nowadays: salt is an integral part of numerous foodstuffs, especially processed foodstuffs.
Less than 5 milligrams of sodium per serving, and no sodium chloride (NaCl) in ingredients Very Low Sodium - 35 milligrams of sodium (or less) per serving Low Sodium - 140 milligrams of sodium (or less) per serving Reduced or Less Sodium.
Sulphate in bottled water is ranging up to 500 mg/l with very view waters (San Pelegrino, ..) and most waters contain well below 100mg/l.
Sulphates are the salts of sulphur. They have a detoxifying effect on the liver and stimulate the function of the gall bladder and thus the digestive function as well. In high doses, they have a laxative effect. As an integral component of protein, sulphate is found in all foods containing protein such as fish, meat or milk products. Sulphates are absorbed by the body only in very small quantities. However, they bind water in the intestine together with magnesium or sodium, stimulate peristalsis and thus digestion. Therefore slightly bitter tasting mineral waters, rich in sulphates, are suitable after eating as “anti-alcoholic bitters”
Potassium in bottled water is ranging up to around 50 mg/l in very view waters with most waters containing below 5mg/l.
Depending on demand the daily requirement of potassium is between 2g and 4 g. Since potassium promotes cell growth, children and young people should have an adequate intake of potassium. Potassium regulates the balance and pressure of water between the cells and ensures that the individual cells are adequately supplied with food. Potassium is of special importance for muscle contraction as well as formation and conduction of impulses of the heart. Potassium deficiency is indicated by a weakness of the skeletal musculature and tiredness of the smooth musculature.
