GOOD news to all health buffs and fans of sparkling mineral water: Gerolsteiner, the world’s No. 1 natural sparkling mineral water, is now in the Philippines. Brought in by Fly Ace Corporation, Germany’s most trusted sparkling mineral water brand was formally launched at Solaire, in the presence of Gerolsteiner GmbH & Co. KG executive vice president-International Dietmar Spille and Fly Ace Corporation president Jun Cochanco.

Designed by nature, Gerolsteiner comes from pristine origins, the Volcanic Eifel located in the subterranean aquifers in Gerolstein, Germany. The water is obtained from depths of up to 250 meters from the earth’s bedrock (it takes nature 100 years to produce this superior mineral water) and is bottled at source, so people get the highest levels of mineral-rich hydration when drinking it. The sparkling mineral water does not only quench thirst but also provides important health benefits. Because of the special geological features of its location, it is 100% naturally rich in essential minerals, particularly a unique balance of Calcium (for healthy bones, teeth and muscles), Magnesium (for the healthy functioning of the nervous system and efficient muscular function), and Bicarbonate (whose acid-neutralizing effect gives the water a pleasant, well-balanced natural taste).
Each liter of Gerolsteiner provides more than one-third of the daily calcium requirement (348 mg.) and one-fourth of the daily magnesium requirement (108 mg.). It also contains 2,500 milligrams of minerals and trace elements (which are important to the body since the human body is not capable of producing them), 1,800 milligrams of bicarbonate, 11 milligrams of potassium, 118 milligrams of sodium, 38 milligrams of sulphate and 7,000 milligrams of carbonic acid.
“The great importance of minerals to our body cannot be underestimated. Based on clinical studies, the proper supplementation and absorption of minerals are vital in supporting the body and its organs’ functions. And since most minerals like calcium and magnesium cannot be generated by the body, supplying it daily with water with high mineral content like Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water is clearly tantamount for its long-term health and survival,” says Spille, during the launch.
Enjoyed since 1888, Gerolsteiner proudly carries with it 120 years of tradition and innovation. Its high quality has remained unchanged through the centuries through strict product monitoring from source to the bottle. Regular checks are done by a highly qualified in-house quality assurance team, which conducts over 400 microbiology and chemical analyses daily, and 100% ecologically safe packaging materials are used, including a new high-quality PET bottle that has acetaldehyde blockers (which means that the acetaldehyde molecules stay bonded to the material and cannot pass into the product). Regular product inspections are also done by independent third parties, such as Fresenius Institute, to make sure no harmful elements get into the water.
And what makes Gerolsteiner even better is that it tastes good. Chilled, on its own, with ice cubes, and mixed into cocktail and mocktail drinks, such as those created by Solaire’s bartenders—Fusion (sparkling water, cranberry juice, violette syrup and simple syrup), Sea Breeze (sparkling water, orange juice, Blue Curacao and Orgeat syrup), and Bloody Sunset (sparkling water, pineapple juice, grenadine and simply syrup).

“Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water is not only a lifestyle water. It’s something that greatly helps replenish lost minerals in the body. In this busy modern age where people seek for quick ways to optimize their health for longer, enjoyable lives, this mineral-rich thirst-quencher is their best, reliable option,” says Cochanco.
Gerolsteiner in the Philippines comes in 330ml. and 1-liter bottles, priced at Php 50 and Php90 to 95, respectively, and is available in higher-end supermarkets and convenience stores, such as Landmark, Rustans, Robinsons, Uni-Mart, Cash & Carry, and Family Mart.
