The importance of Calcium

 Calcium is an important mineral for the body as it is helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth. Calcium is also found in blood and soft tissue. Calcium aids with muscle contractions, nerve transmission, and secretion of hormones like insulin, which regulates the functioning of blood glucose levels.  

Mineral enriched water is a great source of essential minerals and is especially a great source of calcium and magnesium. The beneficial effects of mineral water on bone metabolism are mainly attributed to their calcium content. A high intake of calcium is also generally considered to be protective for colon cancer. Calcium-rich mineral water is an alternative to dairy products as their bioavailability is similar or even better. Minerals other than calcium, especially bicarbonate, also have a positive effect on bone metabolism.

Forget buying bottled mineral water; bottled mineral water can be costly and is a heavy contributor to landfills throughout the world. Instead create your own clean, alkaline, mineral water with an Enhanced Gravity Water Filtration System.  A Gravity Water System creates healthy, cost-effective, ecofriendly water and requires no electricity. A gravity water filtration system is the perfect fit for any family and is a great source of essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
