Substances and other Information
Balanced taste and high mineral content are the hallmarks of Güssinger mineral water.
Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Chloride, Hydrogen carbonate, Fluoride and Iodide create a sensible balance of essential nutritional elements, electrolytes and trace elements in Güssinger mineral water. This balance makes Güssinger the perfect water for your physical well-being – in every situation.
By the way: One litre of Güssinger provides approx. 14 percent of the recommended daily requirements of Calcium and approx. 7 percent of the recommended daily requirements of Magnesium. The Fluoride content of 1 litre is more than one half of the RDA and the Iodide in one litre covers approx. one third of your daily requirements.
The largely untouched regions of southern Burgenland bestow Güssinger mineral water with a number of essential mineral substances:
Sodium plays an important role in the balance between acids and bases which activate enzymes and send the impulses for muscle contraction and also has an effect on blood pressure.
Chloride is the most common anion of the extracellular fluid and due to this it affects osmotic pressure, acid-base balance as well as ion concentration. Apart from that chloride is an ingredient of gastric acid.
Potassium, the most common cation of intracellular fluid plays a role among other things in maintaining (intracellular) osmotic pressure and also in the contraction of muscles because it maintains resting membrane potential. Furthermore potassium is an enzyme activator and has a lowering effect on blood pressure.
Calcium, which is used up to 99% for bones and teeth, also has an effect on neuromuscular signal transmission as well as on release of energy and blot clotting.
Magnesium is an activator or respectively an inhibitor of about 300 enzymes, which are essential for metabolism and for biosynthetic processes. Symptoms of a lack of magnesium can be: tiredness, reduced performance, numbness as well as muscle tremor, muscle cramp or cardiac arrhythmia.
The amount of trace elements: < 50mg/kg body weight. Due to the low amount contained in the body the essential daily requirements are lower than that of the electrolytes. One example of these is iron.
Iron is a crucial component of oxygen-carrying compounds in haemoglobin, myoglobin and many enzymes. Iron is necessary for the bonding and carrying of oxygen, for electron transmission in the electron transport chain as well as for the provision of muscle energy.
In addition to the thorough, daily analyses carried out in our own laboratory the water is regularly examined by an external institution. Testing done by the LVA confirms for both you and us that Güssinger mineral water is absolutely acceptable.
