Donat Mg history, health benefit, facts and markets

5/26/2014

In 1908, Dr. Joseph Knett, head geologist in Karlovi Vari, discovered a stream in nearby Rogaška Slatina that was the main source of mineralization, the purity of the water was extraordinary with high magnesium content. It was named after Donat – a mountain significant for the layout of the nearby Rogaška Slatina. Due to its chemical composition, physical characteristics, and medical discoveries, this water is used therapeutically and preventively. Magnesium is soluble in Donat Mg mineral water so that the metabolism need not overexert itself dissolving it and transferring it to cells that need it.

Donat Mg is recommended in case of:

indigestion,
heartburn,
constipation
the need to improve metabolism,
the need to regulate acid–base homeostasis in the body
lack of magnesium,
lack of minerals,

Since Donat Mg is a natural mineral water rich in magnesium, it is recommended for normal muscle contractions, including the heart muscle. Magnesium alone affects the electrolyte balance, nerve activity and transmission of nerve impulses, protein making and normal metabolism. It is necessary for growth and cell division as an element for the development of tissue and the development and structure of bones and teeth.

INTERESTING FACTS

Celtic and Roman findings in and around the springs confirm the use of water from Rogaška in ancient times.
In 1670, after an intervention by dr. Paul Sorbait, the Habsburg court doctor, Rogaška became a hit medicinal water in Graz and Vienna.
Rogaška was the third best sold water in the world in 1869, right after mineral water from Vichy and Selters

Magnesium and human body

Magnesium
Most people are unaware of the role and importance of magnesium in the functioning of the organism. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals and is essential for good health. Experts have determined that the recommended daily dose of magnesium for adults is 375 mg.

The amount of an element as important as magnesium is carefully regulated by the body. If cells begin to lack magnesium, the body replaces it from its own stores – from the bones and the liver. If the balance of magnesium is negative, the following general signs of deficiency quickly become apparent: constipation, loss of appetite, feeling unwell, fatigue, low energy, muscle spasms, pins and needles, irritability, sleep disorders, headaches, poor concentration and psychological changes.

''Scientists have called magnesium the anti-stress mineral and a salve for the nerves and muscles.''

The larger the deficiency, the more pronounced the symptoms. These can include pins and needles, tremors, muscle spasms, cramps, and sudden changes in behaviour caused by increased electrical activity in the brain, along with heart rhythm changes. Severe magnesium deficiency can in turn cause a decrease in blood calcium concentration, which is also associated with a decrease in potassium concentration.

Severe deficiency is very rare. While minor magnesium deficiency causes problems only in some cases, these tend to persist once they occur. These vary and can manifest themselves in several ways.

Most of these symptoms are very general and can be due to other medical conditions, not only magnesium deficiency. If you notice any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor to ensure you get proper help.

Causes of magnesium deficiency include:

Those who lose magnesium from their organism or have weakened absorption of magnesium have a greater need for this mineral.

Modern food production and processing, which causes decreased content of magnesium and other minerals in foodstuffs, causing a lack of magnesium in the modern diet.
A poor, unbalanced diet and certain fad diets, as well as foods very rich in calcium, or a lack of vitamins B1, B2 and B6.
Certain medicines, such as diuretics, antibiotics and certain chemotherapeutic agents.
Endocrine causes (certain thyroid, kidney and adrenal gland diseases).
Insufficiently managed diabetes is also often accompanied by magnesium deficiency, as hyperglycaemia is tightly linked to increased magnesium secretion through the kidneys.

Alcoholism is also accompanied by magnesium deficiency. Alcohol prevents the absorption of magnesium from the digestive tract and causes increased secretion of urine.
Insufficient absorption and loss of magnesium from the digestive tract after certain surgeries can lead to magnesium deficiency. People with Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, ulcerative colitis and similar bowel diseases that are accompanied by diarrhoea are also at risk of magnesium deficiency.
Stress and a fast pace of life increase the body’s demand for magnesium.
The elderly are often magnesium deficient partly due to decreased intake and partly due to decreased absorption and increased secretion through the kidneys.

To alleviate these problems:

Eat healthy, natural, unprocessed food; Eat a lot of green vegetables, whole-wheat grains and sprouts, and include nuts in your diet;
Avoid excessive alcohol intake;
Exercise regularly and avoid stress.

The role of magnesium in your body:

essential in cases of increased demand (intensive growth, breast-feeding, pregnancy);
takes part in more than 300 biochemical processes in the human organism;
helps reduce fatigue and exhaustion;
contributes to normal psychological functioning;
contributes significantly to electrolyte balance;

helps release energy from metabolism;
contributes to the functioning of the nervous system;
contributes to normal muscle function, including cardiac function;
contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth;
plays a role in cell division and protein synthesis.

How Donat Mg helps with magnesium deficiency

As little as 0.3 to 0.4 litres of Donat Mg natural mineral water is enough to satisfy the recommended daily allowance of magnesium.

Donat Mg natural mineral water is recommended in combination with a varied and balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Heartburn and its natural remedy

Heartburn

Heartburn occurs as the result of the increased secretion of stomach acid; we experience it as pain in the upper stomach or sometimes in the oesophagus. It’s a problem that one out of ten people have to deal with and is more frequent among older people, men and pregnant women.

Because the oesophageal lining has a different composition to the stomach lining and is therefore less protected, it can be damaged by acid. The recurring, frequent and extended reflux of acid into the oesophagus may lead to serious medical problems, so you should act as soon as possible.

Excessive secretion of stomach acid can seriously damage your health.

The reasons for heartburn may include:

Poor diet and heavy meals
Certain foods and drinks (chocolate, tomatoes, coffee, alcohol, fizzy drinks);

Excessive body weight, smoking, lying down after a meal, tight clothes, working while bent over, lifting heavy objects;
Taking certain medicines.

To alleviate these problems:

Change your lifestyle and habits and reduce stress, both physical and psychological;
Eat light food and avoid heavy meals;
Avoid things like coffee, alcohol and cigarettes;
Maintain a healthy weight;
Sleep with your head raised;
Chew food well;
Eat slowly and have several lighter meals rather than a few big ones;
Drink at least 2 litres of water a day.

How Donat Mg helps with heartburn

The stomach makes 2 to 3 litres of acidic fluids each day. These consist mostly of hydrochloric acid and pepsin (an enzyme that speeds up the metabolism of proteins).

Donat Mg contains approximately 7,800 mg of hydrogen carbonate. This high hydrogen carbonate content has a great capacity for bonding to acids and buffering free acids. It bonds to stomach acid in equal amounts.

Therefore Donat Mg is a natural replacement for medicines against excess stomach acid.

In cases of serious or chronic complaint, please consult your doctor.

Important: Donat Mg must not be taken by patients with alkalosis.

Constipation and its natural remedy

Constipation

Due to the modern way of life, more and more people have problems with slow digestion and constipation. Most people believe that their digestion is in order even if they have only 2 to 3 bowel movements weekly, not knowing that this is actually a sign of slow digestion. A healthy person has at least one bowel movement daily.

Although each person has his or her own digestive rhythm, difficult, infrequent bowel movements less than once daily with a feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation and bloating can in most cases be labelled as slow digestion, which can lead to chronic constipation due to poor diet and insufficient exercise. Such problems usually begin at a young age but are more frequent with advancing years.

Donat Mg is a natural laxative that always works and does not cause tolerance.

Possible causes of constipation include:

Industrial ready-made foods, full of unhealthy fats and sugar and with too much carbohydrates. Their metabolic residues stay in the body, sticking to walls and slowing down digestion, thus causing constipation and poisoning the organism. Furthermore, they prevent the absorption of nutrients and present an excellent breeding ground for harmful bacteria.
Insufficient physical activity, and thus lack of stimulation of digestive organs.
Certain psychological or personality traits, such as bitterness, phlegmatic personality, thriftiness, compulsive perfectionism, sadness and, of course, stress, which seems unavoidable these days.

Insufficient daily liquid intake. As a rule, a person should drink 2 to 2.5 litres of liquid a day, preferably water or unsweetened tea. The elderly especially should be very careful, as they tend to drink too little because they do not feel as much thirst.
Frequent use of laxatives, which deprives the body of potassium, which in turn leads to lethargy, nausea and intestinal insensitivity.
Other medical reasons

To alleviate these problems:

Eat food that is rich in fibre, such as fresh vegetables;
Drink at least 2 litres of water daily;
Eat as much unprocessed food and whole-wheat grains as possible;
Limit meat intake;
Have fruit instead of sweets.

How Donat Mg helps with constipation

Because of its hyperosmolarity, Donat Mg is a natural osmotic laxative. It is classified as a saline laxative.

Its effectiveness as a laxative is due to sulphate salts (magnesium sulphate or Epsom salt and sodium sulphate or Glauber’s salt) and around 1000 mg/l of magnesium. Sulphates draw water from the cells of the intestinal wall by osmosis, increasing the volume of intestinal content 3 to 5 times; this exerts pressure on the intestinal wall and triggers its peristalsis or movement. Magnesium also additionally stimulates the intestinal hormones that boost peristalsis.

Important: Please adhere to the recommended intake. If consumed in excessive quantities, diarrhoea may occur, but this should stop when you cease drinking the Donat Mg.
