“…In addition, the bioavailability of calcium in different types of waters (rich in calcium and with gas) is similar to the calcium present in different lacteous products or dietetic supplements (Couzy et al, 1995;Bacciottini et al, 2004;Heaney, 2006). Besides, the oral intake of water containing calcium increases serum calcium and inhibits intact parathyroid hormone secretion (Cantalamessa and Nasutti, 2003).…”

The role of hydration in the maintenance of health is increasingly recognized. Hydration requirements vary for each person, depending on physical activity, environmental conditions, dietary patterns, alcohol intake, health problems, and age. Elderly individuals have higher risk of developing dehydration than adults. Diminution of liquid intake and increase in liquid losses are both involved in causing dehydration in the elderly. The water used for drinking is provided through regular public water supply and the official sanitary controls ensure their quality and hygiene, granting a range of variation for most of its physical and chemical characteristics, being sometimes these differences, though apparently small, responsible for some disorders in sensitive individuals. Hence, the advantages of using bottled water, either natural mineral water or spring water, are required by law to specify their composition, their major components, and other specific parameters. It is essential to take this into account to understand the diversity of indications and favorable effects on health that certain waters can offer.

“…The calcic and magnesic-sulphate-sulphurous spring mineral water presents various pharmacological actions, such as the improvement of the chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory airways by aerosol vapour inhalation. Besides, calcic and magnesicsulphate-sulphurous spring mineral waters are commonly used in balneotherapy for the treatment of rheumatic and various dermatologic conditions, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and acne vulgaris (Cantalamessa and Nasuti, 2003). The therapeutic action of sulphurous water is related to its anti-inflammatory, keratoplastic and anti-pruriginous effects.…”

“…In another study performed on experimental animals (Cantalamessa and Nasuti, 2003), it has been demonstrated that the hydropinic treatment with 'San Giovanni' (Italy) calcic and magnesic-sulphate-sulphurous spring mineral water reduces overall cholesterolaemia and LDL levels by interfering with the entero-hepatic cycle of the bile acids that, not being re-absorbed, are eliminated with the faeces. Thus, it can be suggested that crenotherapy with calcic and magnesic-sulphate-sulphurous spring mineral water could be considered as an alternative treatment to lipid-lowering drugs.…”

“…Magnesic-sulphate-sulfurous spring mineral water has been demonstrated to have a very good hypocholesterolaemic activity and a protective effect against oxidative lipid damage. The oral intake of water containing calcium increases serum calcium and inhibits intact parathyroid hormone secretion (Cantalamessa and Nasuti, 2003). However, results vary depending on the type of water mineralisation (Toussaint et al, 1988;Aptel, Cance-Rouzaud and Grandjean, 1999;Neimark, Davvdov and Lebedev, 2003;Nerbrand et al, 2003).…”

Spring mineral water might have the properties favourable to health, which should be assessed by clinical and pharmacological analyses. Efforts have recently been made to approach the study of the validity of spring mineral water curative therapies by advanced biochemical research on both animal models and humans. Owing to the paramount interest and the growing recent use of drinking mineral waters, a need for a rigorous scientific approach arises. The therapeutic action of drinking mineral waters has been demonstrated to have important biochemical implications. However, some adverse events during health resorts cure must be considered and investigated. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art on the biochemical studies related to the effects of drinking mineral water. In the light of the review of the literature on the matter, we conclude that further studies are necessary to avoid any possible implication for public health connected with mineral water misuse.

Based on their chemical composition, salus per aquam (spa) mineral waters (or medical mineral waters) can be classified as sulphurous, sulphate, bicarbonate etc. Sulphate mineral waters where the predominant element is sulphate anion SO 4 2− , are frequently used in clinical therapy. In this review, we describe and analyze the current scientific knowledge concerning the therapeutic effect of sulphate mineral waters in the treatment of several disorders. Moreover, we underline how important is to integrate spa treatments with other therapeutic approaches to meet the various needs that can arise during a specific pathological state.
