Frequently asked questions

• What type of water is "Gorna Banya"?

  The difference is mainly in the mineral composition and purpose of the water. Table water has a very low mineralization and is designed for daily use. It is light, does not burden the body and is suitable for all ages - including babies, children, pregnant and lactating women. Therefore, table water is a preferred choice for preparing baby formulas and for regular hydration.
  Mineral water "Gorna Banya" is a hyperthermal, low-mineralized, hydrocarbonate-sulfate-sodium water with a stable physicochemical composition.
  It springs naturally at a temperature of 42°C and has a total mineralization of 143 mg/l, which makes it light and suitable for daily consumption.

• What does a pH of 9.85 mean, and why is it important?

  The average pH of most bottled waters on the market is between 6.5 and 8.0.
  Gorna Banya has a pH of 9.8, making it a highly alkaline water.
  Higher pH means lower acidity. Alkaline waters are often associated with:
  
  → a smoother drinking experience
  → less stomach irritation
  → a feeling of balance and lightness
  
  The higher the pH (within safe limits), the more alkaline the water.

• How does it affect digestion?

  In drinking balneotherapy, after tempering to 35–37°C and taking 60–90 minutes before meals, the water can:
  
  → slightly reduce the acidity of the gastric juice
  → stimulate bile kinetics
  → support peristalsis
  
  Sulfate ingredients cause the so-called diluting secretion in the gastrointestinal tract, which supports the natural cleansing effect.

• What does it mean that the water is hyperthermal?

  This means it emerges naturally at a high temperature—42°C.
  This origin indicates deep circulation within the earth's strata and the natural formation of its mineral composition.

• Is the water safe?

  Yes.
  → Does not contain microbiological and sanitary-chemical indicators of contamination
  → Has a stable physicochemical composition
  → The content of microcomponents and radiological indicators are within the norm
  
  Meets the requirements of Regulation No. 14

• Is it suitable for everyday use?

  Yes.
  The mineralization of 143 mg/l defines it as low-mineralized water – light and suitable for regular consumption.
  The sodium content is balanced – 33.27 mg/l.

• Does it have an effect on metabolism?

  In balneology, sulfate waters are used for metabolic conditions.
  The cleansing effect supports the natural metabolic processes in the body.

• Does it help the liver and bile?

  Yes.
  Sulfate waters stimulate the bile ducts and affect the secretory function of the liver and gallbladder.
  They exhibit a choleretic effect and, to a lesser extent, a cholagogue effect.

• What is the fluoride content and how does it compare to other waters?

  The fluoride content in Gorna Banya is 0.13 mg/l.
  For comparison:
  Most bottled waters contain between 0.1 and 0.5 mg/l
  Some mineral waters can reach 0.8 – 1.5 mg/l
  The maximum permissible value in the EU is 1.5 mg/l
  
  The value of 0.13 mg/l places Gorna Banya in the low range of the market and significantly below regulatory limits.
