Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Mineral water is justified for use in supporting the muscular system on a scientific basis, albeit with moderate evidence. Mineral water typically contains a variety of dissolved minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium, all of which play essential roles in muscle function. Calcium is crucial for muscle contraction, while magnesium is involved in muscle relaxation and the prevention of cramps. Potassium and sodium are key electrolytes required to maintain fluid balance and proper nerve impulses, which directly affect muscle contraction and relaxation cycles. Several studies have explored the benefits of mineral-rich water for hydration and electrolyte balance, especially in athletes or individuals engaged in strenuous physical activity. A 2016 review published in Nutrition Reviews highlighted that adequate intake of magnesium and calcium can help reduce the risk of muscle cramps and spasms. However, the direct effects of mineral water (as opposed to dietary intake from foods or supplements) on muscle function are less extensively researched. The absorption of minerals from water can vary based on the mineral content and individual needs. Overall, there is scientific plausibility and some supporting evidence that mineral water, as a source of key electrolytes and minerals, can help support healthy muscle function, especially in contexts where dietary intake may be insufficient. However, robust clinical trials specifically evaluating the unique effects of mineral water on muscle health are limited, which is why the evidence is rated as moderate.
