Sanfaustino


Sanfaustino is a brand of mineral water that is rich in calcium and bicarbonate. It is sourced from the springs of Nocera Umbra, a town located in the province of Perugia, Italy. The water is named after Saint Faustino, the patron saint of Nocera Umbra.

History[edit | edit source]

The Sanfaustino spring was discovered in the 19th century. The water was initially bottled and sold locally, but it quickly gained popularity due to its unique mineral composition. Today, Sanfaustino is distributed nationally and internationally, and it is recognized as one of the most calcium-rich mineral waters in the world.

Composition[edit | edit source]

Sanfaustino water is characterized by its high content of calcium and bicarbonate. It also contains other minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and sodium. The water's unique composition is believed to have several health benefits, including promoting bone health and aiding digestion.

Health Benefits[edit | edit source]

Due to its high calcium content, Sanfaustino water can contribute to maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It can also help prevent osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and makes them prone to fractures. The bicarbonate in Sanfaustino water can aid digestion and help maintain a healthy pH balance in the body.
