* The percentage specifies how much of the daily recommended intake for that particular mineral is covered by drinking one liter (approximately four 8 fluid ounce glasses) of the water in question. This is how we calculate your mineral RDI. The calculation of the percent of recommended daily values for each mineral are based on FDA (USA)-recognized RDI values. If you would like to review the European daily requirement recommendations, please click here.

** Total mineral content is the sum of the minerals stated here. For comparison, the minaeral content of spring water and purified water can vary. Neither of them meet the requirements of natural mineral water.

In the table, the mineral content for products other than Gerolsteiner products is based on those values reported by the respective product manufacturer. Where the manufacturer reports a range of mineral values, we have reported the average of that range.

NOTE to U.S. Consumers: Mineral amounts declared on Gerolsteiner's U.S. product labels differ slightly from the amounts presented above due to rounding, which is required by FDA labeling regulations.

Calcium

Whether for healthy bones, teeth or muscles - calcium is a genuine all-rounder in the body
(Recommended daily intake: 800 mg (Europe)).
go up

Magnesium

Among other things, magnesium supports the energy metabolism and muscle functions - valuable above all for active sports people
(Recommended daily intake: 375 mg (Europe)).
go up

Bicarbonate

Bicarbonate improves mineral water's taste. It has an antacid effect and as a result ensures a pleasantly natural taste
(Recommended daily intake: no recommendation).
go up

Potassium

Potassium is a mineral that occurs in many rock formations and in this way also enters mineral water.
Mineral water is not one of the principal sources of potassium.
(Recommended daily intake: 2,000 mg (Europe)).
go up

Sodium

Water with a sodium content of less than 20 mg is suitable for a low sodium diet.
Excessive sodium content can produce a metallic taste
(Recommended daily intake: 550 mg (Europe)).
go up

Chloride

Too much chloride combined with too much sodium can lead to mineral water tasting salty
(Recommended daily intake: 800 mg (Europe)).
go up

Sulfate

Sulfate are sulphur compounds found particularly in gypsiferous rock. Excessive sulphate content makes the water slightly bitter
(Recommended daily intake: no recommendation).

Total Mineral Content

There are mineral waters with lots of minerals and those with fewer. However, what is decisive is not just the content, but also a balanced relationship of the minerals and the life and requirements of the user.
Water with a balanced proportion of calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate has a pleasantly neutral taste.
