Why natural spring water is best!

At home, I filter our tap water to remove impurities. But this drinking water still doesn’t have the kind of essential minerals and natural electrolytes our bodies need to function optimally that untouched volcanic spring water does. Here, we take a look at what’s in Natural Springs Australia’s water, and how to get a water dispenser in your home or office – including a special offer!

Mineral-rich drinking water

Volcanic spring water has many advantages over tap, distilled and other drinking water. One of its unique aspects is what’s known as osmotic compatibility measured as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). That is, the concentration of dissolved minerals in the water that closely aligns with the mineral balance of the internal fluids in the human body.

Deep within the earth, the minerals have undergone electrolytic dissociation. This is the process where ionic electrolytes split into free, charged ions. The minerals are in their simplest, most absorbable form. So, you’re not just drinking water; you’re delivering active biological support directly to your cells.

Water from Natural Springs Australia is sourced from the deep volcanic aquifers of Mount Buninyong, an extinct volcano in Victoria, Australia. Instead of being artificially stripped or manufactured in a plant, it undergoes a 100-year natural journey.

Over decades, the water slowly filters through layers of mineral-rich volcanic rock. This slow, earthy filtration process imbues the water with a premium, untouched mineral profile exactly as nature intended. Through this lengthy natural filtration, the drinking water reaches an equilibrium.

Natural Springs Australia is naturally alkaline and free from impurities. Untouched, volcanic spring water has a naturally balanced mineral profile. This makes it easier for the body to absorb and stay hydrated to help maintain optimal bodily functions.

Spring water that supports your daily mineral needs

Here’s a look at some of the minerals found in Natural Springs Australia’s drinking water and how they can help your body:

#1 Magnesium (Mg2+ ): An essential cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems, magnesium is vital for energy production by your cells. It also helps in the regulation of neurotransmitters that keep your brain focused, reduce the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.

#2 Natural bicarbonates (HCO3): These are the body’s primary buffering agents that support the body’s system in maintaining a stable, healthy pH. Bicarbonates help your body to prevent type 2 diabetes through improvement of the metabolism and gut microbiota composition.

#3 Silica (SiO2): Silica is a key component in maintaining the connective tissues that support physical durability.

#4 Sodium: Helps conduct nerve impulses, contract and relax muscles, and maintain your body’s proper balance of water and other minerals.

#5 Calcium: Your heart, muscles, bones and nerves all need calcium. Some studies suggest that it may also help protect your body against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.

#6 Potassium: Functions as an electrolyte in the body and helps regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions and nerve signals. It can also reduce blood pressure and water retention, and protect against strokes, osteoporosis and kidney stones.

#7 Sulphate: This is the fourth most abundant anion (negatively charged ion) in our blood; it prevents blood from coagulating, helps to maintain optimal neurological health and improves the taste of water.

#8 Chloride: Chloride (not chlorine) is one of the most important electrolytes in the blood. It helps keep the amount of fluid inside and outside of your cells in balance. It also helps maintain proper blood volume, blood pressure and the pH of your body fluids.
