Silica, which is the mineral that occurs naturally in mineral water decreased the risk of dementia. A dose of 10 mg/day can reduce aluminum oral absorption, increase urine aluminum excretion, and protect against the adverse effects of aluminum .

Aluminum Detox: Mineral Water

According to Daily Mail, Keele University professor Christopher Exley researched how to translate this knowledge into real-life applications.

The researchers tracked 15 Alzheimer’s patients who consumed a liter of a silica-rich Malaysian water known as the Spritzer Mineral Water daily for 13 weeks.

Over the study period, cognitive decline ceased entirely and aluminum in the body decreased as much as 70%. Three of the participants even showed an improvement in their mental health.

He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘There were two parts to our research. One is that drinking silica water will clear aluminum from the system. When you drink silica-rich mineral water, unneeded aluminum is pulled from tissue and tissues through the body and released through the urine. We now know we can use this silica-rich “therapy” water to lower aluminum.’

‘The most interesting thing that we found was we did see this possible relationship between the removal of aluminum and the positive change in the cognitive function.

‘The second phase of our studies was examining the cognitive functioning of people with Alzheimer’s, and whether this changed with decreasing aluminum.’ The study can be found Source: Drinking mineral water could reduce aluminium in Alzheimer’s disease sufferers

Although the mineral water they studied contained 35mg of silica per liter, it can be difficult to find in North American stores. Other similar available brands are, for example, ‘Volvic’ which contains 20mg/liter and Fiji water, 45mg/liter.
