About water
Natural mineral water from Mateczny springs
Our water is unique on global scale thanks to the content of bioelements and minerals, and above all thanks to the proportion they keep between themselves.
It is containing a lot of sulphate, magnesium, calcium, iodide, fluoride and sodium ions and even selenium, called the element of life.
It is a sulphate-chloride-sodium-magnesium-calcium, sulfide water, the age of which is determined at 10,000 years.
In contrast to dietary supplements containing bioelements obtained by chemical method, the microelements contained in mineral water are naturally absorbed by the body.
From the taps of Cracow Mineral Springs flows hypotonic water which means it’s having the ability to be very easily assimilate by the body and naturally absorb it into its cells.
