Sulfur, the "S-part" of sulphate, is essential in maintaining healthy, flexible cells. It is also part of many enzymes.
Sulfates are the salts of sulfur. They aid the liver in detoxification and help digestion by stimulating the gall bladder. Sulfates in high doses act as a laxative. Fish, meat, and milk contain sulfates, which are an important component of protein. The human body only absorbs small amounts of sulfates, but these amounts are sufficient to stimulate peristalsis by binding magnesium and sodium to water in the intestine. This effect makes mineral waters rich in sulfates, which taste slightly bitter, suitable as “non-alcoholic bitters” after a meal.
Most bottled waters have well below 100 mg/l of sulfates, but San Pellegrino and a few others can reach 460 mg/l.
Sort all waters by Sulphate.
