Minerals
and trace elements in mineral spring
waters
Mineral
and trace elements are essential to the body . They
play major roles in the cellular and energy
metabolisms, the hormone regulation and the
functioning of organs.
- Minerals exist in high quantities within the
body (several grams) : calcium, sodium,
magnesium, phosphorus, potassium….
- On the contrary, trace elements exist in
very limited quantities within the body and for
some of them they are mere traces : iron, zinc,
fluorine, copper, iodine…

A
calcium-rich water
The
comparison between the different waters
existing on the Tunisian market shows that
EMT's spring water is the one having the
highest calcium content. Drinking 1 litre/
day of this water brings 117mg/l of
calcium which is directly assimilated by
the body and compensates for calcium
deficiencies. The calcium intake is good
for bones and teeth and helps prevent
osteoporosis.
A
magnesium-rich
water
Besides
its high calcium-content, EMT's spring
water is a magnesium-rich water. When
compared with mineral spring waters in
Tunisia, it shows the highest magnesium
content. The 28 mg/ litre have a natural
effect against stress and fatigue.
Magnesium plays also a major role in the
regulation of water and minerals
circulation at the cellular level.
