UNIQUE COMPOSITION WITH POSITIVE HEALTH BENEFITS

That Fatra is a precious alkaline sodium-carbonic mineral water with high CO2 content was proven by chemical analyses way back in 1930. The unique composition of minerals and the alkaline character of this newly discovered mineral water immediately caught the attention of experts as well as the general public.

Fatra is a natural, medium mineralised, hydrogen-carbonic-sodium and hypotonic acidulous water with a trace content of natural ammonia. Its alkaline character means that the water has a very positive and favourable effect on the body.

FROM THE HEARTLAND

Fatra and Fatra Extra rise in the Turiec region of Slovakia – renowned for its inspiring mountainous valleys. The well is surrounded by the Veľká Fatra in the east, Kremnické vrchy in the south, the Žiar mountains in the south-west, and the Malá Fatra in the west. This beautiful part of Slovakia is characterised by its unique purity of ground waters and springs. Every single drop of water is obtained from deep layers of Neogene fills of sand and sandstones.

SPRUNG IN HISTORY

Very often the stuff of legends is too good to be true. Yet the legend of a unique spring in Záturčie with miraculous health effects proved to be wonderfully bona fide. The precious spring was re-discovered in 1929 by a dowser – Mr Hebda – who reported his find to the local press. Upon learning of the spring, a certain Mr Reichl and son had the first well sunk and began distributing the precious water to improve people’s health. Since 1958 the water has been saturated with carbon dioxide, and Fatra Extra has been drawn and bottled since 1998.

MINERALS THAT GIVE YOUR BODY A BOOST

Minerals soluble in Fatra as salts – which help form proteins, lipids, hormones and enzymes – ensure perfect conditions for the smooth running of your body. Fatra Extra’s higher mineral concentration has curative effects and in acute cases is an excellent source of deficient minerals. Lacking key nutrients, dieting or vegetarian? The water is rich in minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron, so regular and sufficient drinking is ideal!

PHYSICIANS´ RECOMMENDATIONS

Both Fatra mineral waters have proven curative effects. Suffering from stomach problems? One glass on an empty stomach and after eating will soon have you feeling better. Digestion problems? Always drink a glass before eating. Heartburn? Drink Fatra regularly. Fatra is recommended after alcohol until any ill-feelings have subsided.

Stronger Fatra Extra is ideally suited for stomach problems, acidity and heartburn – drink before or after eating for 4 to 6 weeks.

Suffering from metabolic disorders of lipids, diabetes or gout? 0.7 to 2.2 l of water should be drunk in small sips before eating, with the morning drink on an empty stomach. It is recommended that those with urological complications drink between 1.5 and 3 l daily – the last of which before bedtime.
