“…Therefore, mineral waters have potentially beneficial or harmful effects on health, including bone health. Various mineral waters have been found to produce valuable results for bone metabolism, which is attributed to their Ca content (Bernardes et al, 2022;Vannucci et al, 2018;Wynn et al, 2009). Ca-rich mineral waters have also been shown to be an alternative to dairy products, as the bioavailability of Ca in mineral waters is similar, and possibly even better than dairy products (Vannucci et al, 2018).…”

Dehydration emerges due to lack of fluid balance in the body. In addition, minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are lost because of dehydration. Dehydration is commonly seen in athletes during their prolonged and intense exercise periods. Athletes lose fluids and electrolytes through sweating during exercise, and replacing the lost fluid and electrolytes is crucial for the continuity of their sports performance. Sports drinks can be consumed by athletes to replace fluid and electrolytes lost during exercise and to improve performance. During this period, consumption of sports drinks minimizes dehydration by restoring the lost mineral and fluid balance. However, the composition of these products, their active ingredients, their effects on sports performance, and their risk factors are matters of debate. This study was carried out in order to compare sports drinks with the local mineral water that comes out naturally in the province of Agri. The mineral determinations of the local mineral water were made using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) instruments. As a result of the analyses, the average sodium (Na) value in the local mineral water was 26.6 ppm, and the magnesium (Mg) average was 7.782 ppm. No potassium (K) mineral was detected in Agri local mineral water. Calcium (Ca) mineral average was found to be 65.04 ppm, iron (Fe) mineral average 0.0068 ppm, and zinc (Zn) mineral average 0.02457 ppm. Agri natural mineral water contains minerals in similar amounts to sports drinks. Considering these values, it can be an alternative to sports drinks.
