SOUROTI is a carbonated natural mineral water emerging from the Souroti curative spring, distinguished by its unique natural composition.
During its long underground journey, the water is naturally filtered through carbonate rocks and enriched with valuable minerals, including bicarbonates, calcium and magnesium.
At greater depths, the water comes into contact with unique geological formations and geothermal fluids, becoming naturally enriched with silica (SiO₂) and lithium (Li).
The combination of these naturally occurring minerals, together with its exceptionally high silica and lithium content, is a distinctive characteristic of SOUROTI and reflects the uniqueness of its spring.
The quality and natural composition of SOUROTI are intrinsically linked to the geology of the region, creating a natural treasure that can be enjoyed every day.

SOUROTI carbonated natural mineral water has been officially recognized as calcium-rich, magnesium-rich, bicarbonate-rich, and acidic. European legislation defines specific concentration thresholds for the classification of natural mineral waters according to their mineral composition. The table below presents the relevant thresholds and corresponding classifications.

Bicarbonate
Bicarbonates help regulate stomach acidity by neutralizing gastric acids, reducing acid reflux (heartburn), and supporting normal digestive function.
According to European legislation, a natural mineral water containing more than 600 mg/L of bicarbonates may be designated as "contains bicarbonate".
With approximately 850 mg/L of bicarbonates, SOUROTI is an excellent natural source of bicarbonates.
Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the body's most important minerals and is essential for normal physiological function.
It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal heart function, normal muscle and nervous system function.
Since the human body cannot synthesize magnesium, it must be obtained daily through the diet. According to European legislation, natural mineral water containing more than 50 mg/L of magnesium may be designated as "contains magnesium".
Magnesium dissolved in water has high bioavailability, thus allowing the body to absorb and use it more easily.
Containing approximately 60 mg/L of naturally dissolved magnesium, SOUROTI provides a natural dietary source of magnesium and contributes to daily magnesium intake.Magnesium dissolved in water has high bioavailability, allowing the body to absorb and utilize it efficiently.
One litre of SOUROTI provides approximately 16% of an adult's daily magnesium requirements..
Calcium
Calcium must be consumed daily through the diet, as the human body cannot produce it.
It is an essential structural component of bones and teeth and is necessary for maintaining their normal condition.
According to European legislation, a natural mineral water containing more than 150 mg/L of calcium may be designated as "contains calcium"..
Containing approximately 200 mg/L of naturally dissolved calcium, SOUROTI provides a natural dietary source of calcium and contributes to daily calcium intake.
Calcium dissolved in water is highly bioavailable, allowing the body to absorb and utilize it efficiently.
One litre of SOUROTI provides approximately 25% of an adult's daily calcium requirements.
Silica
Silica is an essential mineral involved in numerous physiological processes.
Scientific studies suggest that silica binds aluminium in the body and may help reduce its toxic effects on the brain. It is essential for the formation of collagen and elastin. It is widely regarded as an important element for healthy skin and connective tissue. It contributes to maintaining the normal condition of blood vessel walls.
With approximately 100 mg/L of dissolved silica, one of the highest concentrations found in bottled mineral waters worldwide, SOUROTI is an excellent natural source of dietary silica.
A 250 ml bottle of SOUROTI provides the recommended daily intake of silicon for adults.
Lithium
Lithium is a naturally occurring trace element that plays an important role in the protection of the nervous system and has been associated with brain health and mental well-being.
Naturally containing approximately 340 μg/L of lithium, SOUROTI has one of the highest lithium concentrations found in bottled mineral waters worldwide, containing approximately ten times more lithium than most bottled waters available on the market.
A 2019 German study on natural mineral waters and curative waters (Heilwässer) reported that waters with high lithium concentrations may represent an excellent dietary source of lithium due to its high bioavailability.
The elevated lithium content of SOUROTI has been investigated in scientific literature for its potential association with the prevention and/or management of conditions such as depression, Alzheimer's disease and chronic stress.
Souroti: excels naturally!
Souroti is unique because:
it has been recognised as ACIDIC due to its high natural carbon dioxide content at the source
it has a high BICARBONATE content
it CONTAINS CALCIUM and MAGNESIUM, being a natural source of both calcium and magnesium, thus making it one of the richest natural mineral waters in its category
it has a very high SILICON content, which is an important element of youth and beauty, as well as a high LITHIUM content, which helps to improve your mood
it comes from the renowned ancient spring of SOUROTI, which has been characterised as a THERMAL spring, suitable for positherapy.
Νερό, σύμμαχος στη ζωή
Το νερό είναι πραγματική πηγή ζωής και ο καλύτερος σύμμαχος στην καταπολέμηση πολλών προβλημάτων υγείας.
Βασικό χημικό συστατικό του σώματός μας, το νερό αποτελεί το 60%-70% του συνολικού βάρους μας. Κάθε σύστημα του ανθρώπινου οργανισμού βασίζει τη σωστή…
Το νερό είναι ο καλύτερος φίλος της ομορφιάς και της νεότητας!
Κατά τη γέννησή μας, το 95% του βάρους μας αντιστοιχεί σε νερό. Το ποσοστό αυτό μειώνεται σε 70% καθώς μεγαλώνουμε, γεγονός που οφείλεται στην αδυναμία του οργανισμού μας να συγκρατήσει μεγάλες ποσότητες νερού με το πέρασμα….
Αντίδοτο της αφυδάτωσης είναι η εκτεταμένη λήψη νερού.
Οι υψηλές θερμοκρασίες στη διάρκεια των καλοκαιρινών μηνών, αλλά και η αυξημένη φυσική δραστηριότητα (σωματική εργασία ή άσκηση) αυξάνουν τη θερμοκρασία του σώματος.
Το νερό συμβάλλει αποτελεσματικά στη ρύθμιση της θερμοκρασίας…
