Purity by Mother Nature
BEBELAN AQUA is crystal clear, high-quality specialized baby water sourced from the ecologicaly clean and strictly controlled Kalugeritsa spring at an altitude of 1,470 meters above sea level in the Pirin National Park.
The water has a pleasant softness and low mineralization, making it ideally suitable for babies and children from birth to eight years.
Why it is important that the water has a low mineral content?
- Low Sodium and low total mineralization have shown a beneficial effect on inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, and the health of the urinary tract, kidney and gallbladder.
- High levels of Potassium can sometimes cause hyperactivity in young children.
- High levels of Fluoride taken by infants and children under 8 years of age often leads to dental problems – fluorosis. Moreover, levels above 6-10 mg/l lead to the development of bone fluorosis.
- European guidelines state that children under 7 years of age should not drink water with a mineral content of more than 120 mg/l total mineralization.
The total BEBELAN AQUA mineralization is 75.2 mg/l, which is the lowest mineralization for naturally sourced water in Bulgaria. BEBELAN AQUA has also the lowest content of Sodium and Fluoride out of all Bulgarian bottled waters.
An added advantage of the low mineralization is the neutral effect the water has on the balance of the salts and minerals when used to prepare baby food and formula.
Although a low total mineralization is important there are some minerals that are good to have:
- The level of Calcium, the important bone mineral, in BEBELAN AQUA is 8.4 mg/l which is higher than the other natural waters in Bulgaria while remaining low enough so as not to cause problems with the kidney and liver.
- Magnesium is available in BEBELAN AQUA in significantly higher levels than that of other natural and bottled waters. Magnesium plays an important role in regulating the operation of the gastrointestinal tract and has shown beneficial effects with infants suffering from colic.
BEBELAN AQUA is microbiologically clean and can be used for the preparation of baby food or to dilute juices, without boiling, up to 48 hours after opening the bottle.
BEBELAN AQUA’s properties makes it uniquely suitable for consumption by newborn babies, children, pregnant women and nursing mothers. It is also a great choice for people who are conciencous about their diet and are trying to lead a healthy lifestyle.
