How calcium, magnesium, etc. work

Minerals are essential nutrients that your body needs every day. However, it cannot generate them itself. That’s why you have to absorb calcium, magnesium and other minerals through your food and beverages. Why exactly are minerals so important? What is your daily requirement? And why can the body absorb and utilise minerals from mineral water so well?

Why great emphasis is placed on Gerolsteiner's unique mineral balance

Few other mineral waters contain as many minerals as Gerolsteiner: 2,500 mg per liter, however no other mineral water has the unique balance of minerals that Gerolsteiner offers. It is this harmonious balance of minerals that gives Gerolsteiner its clean and refreshing taste. Gerolsteiner is not only good for you, it tastes good too!

3 reasons why Gerolsteiner mineral water is so healthy

Thanks to the one-of-a-kind geographical nature of the bedrock in the Volcanic Eifel, Gerolsteiner is completely pure, has a balanced mineral content and is one hundred percent natural. Water that has filtered down through layers of bedrock gathers in deep aquifers, 200 meters beneath the ground. Here, the water remains protected from impurities and environmental contamination. In order to preserve its natural quality, Gerolsteiner is bottled directly at its source – pure and authentic from its origin.

Whether at work, after sport or simply in between – Gerolsteiner mineral water is the perfect companion in everyday life. It quenches thirst and at the same time provides the body with valuable minerals and trace elements, which the body cannot generate itself. Just 1 liter of Gerolsteiner Sparkling satisfies one third of the daily calcium requirement and more than a quarter of the magnesium requirement.

Over time water seeps down through the mineral-rich layers of dolomite bedrock, absorbing minerals and carbonic acid, before collecting in deep aquifers as Gerolsteiner Mineral Water. From the depths of the Volcanic Eifel to every cell of your body: one litre of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water contains over 2,500 mg of minerals and trace elements.

The unique balance of minerals in Gerolsteiner ensures their bioavailability. The minerals are already dissolved, so your body can absorb them quickly. The ratio of minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, also enables maximum usage. In mineral water, the bioavailability of calcium is 84% and that of magnesium is 92%. As a comparison, in a banana, the bioavailability of calcium is only 38% and that of magnesium is a mere 29%.

Why minerals are so important

Minerals, such as Calcium and Magnesium are important to the organism. Your body cannot produce these nutrients. To get its provision of minerals, the human body is therefore reliant on a diet rich in minerals. Mineral water with a high mineral content, such as Gerolsteiner can make a valuable contribution to a healthy diet as a natural source of minerals.
