WATER COMPOSITION

The formula of Water is H2O, two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Only Rain water, snow and ice are like this. Water present in nature contains, even if in traces, minerals very important for our health: salt and oligo minerals dissolved during its way through the soil.

Components of Mineral water:

Calcium (Ca)
 is one of the most common elements on the earth. It is essential in our body for teeth and bones formation, blood coagulation, right functioning of our nervous system. Calcium ions are contained in almost all spring, drinking water. Health effects caused by hard water, very rich in calcium and magnesium, are unknown.

Chloride 

Hydrogen carbonate

Magnesium (Mg)
 is, with sodium and calcium, among the cations most commonly found in drinking water. In humans magnesium is important for many metabolic functions and for muscular and nervous activity. The daily recommended intake is 150-500 mg.

Sodium (Na)
 is an element very diffused on earth and in the biosphere, even if in nature it is almost never in its pure form, but mainly in form of salt (NaCl). Our body contains an average of 100 g of sodium which is an important metabolic regulator for nervous and muscular stimulations. The daily sodium chlorine intake is 20 mg.

Chloride (Cl)
 is an important constituent of organic liquid and a daily intake of 7-15 g of NaCl is recommended.
