Mineral substances in the water

Mineral substances from water are 35% absorbed by the body (bioavailability). The volumes of the essential minerals dissolved in water calcium, magnesium and potassium are only very low, however – they play no part in supplying the body with minerals.

However, there is as yet no convincing scientific proof of the postulated positive effects of such waters”. The example of French mineral water shows how “low” most waters are in essential minerals:
