Water plays the role of a solvent, transporting for example minerals, trace elements and other molecules through the body. The Nestlé Water Institute has carried out several studies, which prove that the body perfectly assimilates the minerals contained in water (calcium and magnesium in particular).

Consequently, water with a high calcium content, such as CONTREX (486 mg/l) or VITTEL Grande Source (202 mg/l), can contribute actively to the constitution and maintenance of bone mass by improving density and limiting loss.

All along its subterranean journey, natural mineral water is enriched by minerals from the rocks through which it flows. For generations, some waters have been particularly linked to health and well being, thanks to their specific mineral content. They are at the origin of the international reputation of spa cities such as Vittel, Contrexéville and San Pellegrino.
