PT ENAmidst the natural complex called “Parque das Águas” (Water Park), Hidrobrás has four sources that are explored:
Ingá Sessilis I Source | Ingá Sessilis II Source | Ingá Sessilis III Source | Ingá Sessilis IV Source
The waters of the underground geological complex pass through the rocks in ahydrogeological filtering process over the years. In this period something that experts call percolation happens, which naturally enriches the water with mineral salts. The extraction of water with low sodium concentration, results in a waterthat is preferred by consumers of first world countries, especially in Europe.
These waters are scientifically identified as oligomineral waters by the diverse and well-balanced composition of salts, making them lighter, more tasty and healthier, what makes them easily absorbed by the body, aiding in kidney dialysis, hydration, skin beautification and due to the low sodium concentration, favors the cardiovascular system and is suitable for the consumption at any age.
The Main Minerals found in INGÁ/SUIÁ Mineral Waters
Minerals | Benefits for Health |
Bicarbonate | The most important bicarbonate is sodium bicarbonate. Due to its relatively low solubility, it’s an intermediate in the process of obtaining the carbonate that is effective in fighting stomach diseases, specifically to excessive secretion of hydrochloric acid. It’s indicated for stomach ailments, gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer, hepatitis and diabetes. It also helps digestion. |
Calcium | It’s indicated for bone growth and formation. It helps to consolidate fractures and has diuretic action. Drinking INGÁ duringmeals prevents the formation of renal calculus. Calcium participates in control of heart rhythm. INGÁ’s calcium content contributes to the effective functioning of the body. |
Magnesium | It contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous system and muscle contraction. It fights fatigue and increases physical stamina. It is also found in vegetables. |
Potassium | It’s indicated for stomach problems prevention, fatigue, stress, lack of concentration, formation of cardiac fibers and dehydration. |
Sodium | In low concentrations it restores and balances the loss of water in the body. It hydrates and helps in nerve transmission and muscle contraction. Good for sportsmen. |
Sulfate | It helps to eliminate toxic substances from the body. It contributes to the dilution of renal calculus. It also has a preventive effect against crystallization of uric acid. |
Fluoride | It contributes to teeth health and growth. It prevents anemia and reduces the possibility of osteoporosis. |
