Drinking this mineral water makes you pee out more salt and less calcium — which might help protect your bones and kidneys.

Drinking a special kind of mineral water with lots of sodium and bicarbonate for a month doesn’t raise your blood pressure, even though you’re taking in more salt than usual.

Even though your body starts peeing out more salt, it doesn’t change how much aldosterone hormone you make — meaning these two processes work independently.

Drinking this special mineral water makes your body produce less of a hormone called aldosterone, which helps control blood pressure — and this effect is stronger than with regular mineral water.

Even though people urinate out more salt after drinking this mineral water, their blood pressure doesn’t go up — meaning the body’s salt removal system works fine without raising BP.

If you eat a lot of salt—like 18 grams a day for 10 days—your body will flush out more salt in your urine and also have a bit more salt in your blood, which proves you actually ate the salty food they gave you.
