Magnesium is essential for our bodies - it supports muscles, nerves and energy metabolism. That is why many people turn to magnesium supplements.
But there is a natural alternative: magnesium-rich mineral water.
Why is it worth avoiding magnesium supplements?
✅ Better absorption: The concentration in tablets is often high. 250 - 400 mg per tablet. It is questionable whether the body can absorb all of this at once, or whether a large proportion will be flushed out immediately. On the other hand, magnesium from mineral water is already dissolved, so the body can absorb it more easily. In addition, mineral water can be drunk throughout the day, giving the body a good opportunity to absorb what it really needs.
✅ Natural & convenient: The list of ingredients in magnesium tablets is often long. An example?
Abtei - Magnesium 400 Tablets
Magnesium oxide; filler microcrystalline cellulose; coating hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose; anticaking agents magnesium salts of fatty acids, silicon dioxide; colour calcium carbonate; filler magnesium carbonates, cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose; stabilisers fatty acids, polyethylene glycol, glycerol.
Mineral water, on the other hand, is natural and additive-free. Just drink it and replenish your magnesium levels.
✅ Bonus: In addition to magnesium, many waters also contain other minerals such as sodium, calcium and sulphates, which are also important for our bodies. When you drink mineral water, you automatically cover your fluid requirements.
When is water considered to be high in magnesium?
Mineral water is considered to be high in magnesium if it contains more than 50 mg of magnesium per litre. Here are ten examples of magnesium-rich mineral and healing waters:
Conclusion: The body needs magnesium for many vital functions, but instead of resorting to dietary supplements, there is a natural and effective alternative: magnesium-rich mineral water. It allows better absorption because the magnesium is already dissolved and can be sipped throughout the day. Mineral water is also free from artificial additives and contains other valuable minerals in addition to magnesium. If you are looking for a natural way to meet your magnesium needs, choosing the right mineral water will not only provide your body with the best possible supply of magnesium, but will also help to maintain your fluid balance.
Do you already drink bottled water containing magnesium, or do you prefer to take a magnesium
supplement?

My fascination with mineral waters began in 2016 during my training as a Water Sommelier. Since then, I have been exploring the characteristics and diversity of water. In addition to pairing water with food, wine, coffee and other beverages, I offer the creation of water menus for restaurants and hotels. Furthermore, it is also important to me to draw attention to the importance of drinking water.
