How much Borjomi can you drink a day, and can you drink it every day?
Sodium, bicarbonates and when to see a doctor.
Short answer
Borjomi is rich in sodium and bicarbonates, so drink it in moderation rather than by the litre instead of ordinary water. If you want to drink it every day or as a course, talk to a doctor first. With kidney or heart disease, high blood pressure or a low-salt diet, a doctor's advice is a must.
Why
- Borjomi contains a lot of sodium (1000-2000 mg per litre) and bicarbonates (3500-5000 mg per litre).
- Borjomi's composition is on the label, so check the sodium content if you limit salt.
- For a therapeutic course, discuss the dose and duration with a doctor.
Details
Plain drinking water works for daily use, and Borjomi is better in moderate amounts. If you take medication, ask your doctor whether mineral water interferes. If you limit salt, remember that the water is rich in sodium.
Tip
Drink Borjomi in small portions and do not replace all your ordinary water with it.
What may differ
How much is fine depends on health, age and diet, so ask a doctor if you have a condition.
Common misconception
You can drink as much Borjomi as you like instead of ordinary water.
What actually happens
Borjomi is rich in sodium and bicarbonates, so drink it in moderation; for a course, discuss the dose with a doctor.
