Borsec

The Borsec Springs are located in North Eastern Romanian- Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania, and is one of the most renowned spas in the world. Since 1687 the healing properties of the waters have been studied, proving its natural benefits to the human body. Bottling of Borsec started over two hundred years ago. Respectively it has won numerous awards for its outstanding quality and taste. 

The curative properties of the water were already known in the 1600s, and for centuries it was transported by carts in wooden casks to be served in the Royal Court in Vienna. It was Emperor Franz Josef who dubbed Borsecthe "Queen of Mineral Waters." There is a copious amount of history to these springs. 

Borsec waters contain calcium, magnesium, sodium, they are hypotonic and have low iron content. The pH, although slightly acidic, is near enough to neutral to distinguish Borsec from other naturally carbonated waters whose carbonic acid tends to create much lower pH levels in the water. The Calcium is high at 310 milligrams per liter. This in particular is beneficial to the teeth and bones. Magnesium and Bicarbonate  are at 97 and 1,800 milligrams. The Sodium level is very low for a high mineral water at only 53 milligrams per liter. Borsec has helped lower risk of cardiovascular disease, anemia, inflammatory conditions, disease of the endocrine glands, rickets, renal disease, diabetes, and even for obesity.
