What effect does Sulphate have in Water?
Sulphates are the salts of sulphur. They have a detoxifying effect on the liver and stimulate the function of the gall bladder and thus the digestive function as well. In high doses, they have a laxative effect. As an integral component of protein, sulphate is found in all foodstuffs containing protein such as fish, meat or milk products. Sulphates are absorbed by the body only in very small quantities. However, they bind water in the intestine together with magnesium or sodium, stimulate peristalsis and thus digestion. Therefore slightly bitter tasting mineral waters rich in sulphates are suitable after eating as anti-alcoholic bitters. Especially practical for car drivers.
