Sulphates
Sulfates are the salts of Sulphur. Sulphur(S) is found in all body tissues. It is often called nature’s beauty mineral because it is prevalent in keratin, a tough protein substance in hair, nails and skin. It is also involved in the synthesis of collagen, the principal protein which gives the skin structural integrity. It helps the body to resist bacteria, protects against toxic substances such as radiation and pollution, and helps slow the ageing process. Sulfates in high doses also act as a laxative. Waters rich in Sulfates(mg/L) include: San Pellegrino(476), Gerolsteiner(38), Weta(31) and Perrier(32).
