Donat Mg is the name of the natural mineral water found at Rogaska Slatina spa resort in Slovenia. During my stay exploring the area, I learnt all about (and drank a lot of) this miracle water. Proven to help with health issues like heartburn, bloating, constipation, obesity, gall stones, kidney stones and other digestive and stress-related problems. This water promises a lot!
The power of Donat Mg dates back over 8000 years and It is said when the winged horse Pegasus landed on the ground healing water burst onto the surface. Formed at a depth of 260 to 600m by the dissolution of rocks rich in magnesium, calcium, sulphates, and hydrogen. Donat Mg can be classified in a group of natural mineral waters that have beneficial effects in the case of certain health problems and play a protective role in maintaining health.
For over 200 years Donat Mg has been prescribed for therapeutic and preventative purposes at Rogaska Slatina Health spa. There are quite a few natural mineral waters in the world that have favourable effects on well-being and health, yet those suitable for continuous drinking are few and far between. It is characterised by its exceptionally high mineral content, with over 13 g of matter per litre (together with CO2), of which magnesium alone accounts for 1000 mg/l and calcium for around 300 mg/l. It also contains many other elements and compounds that benefit our health.
To understand why the mineral water helps with so many health problems, we need to know about its main component – magnesium.
