How much Borjomi can you drink a day, and can you drink it every day?
A medicinal table water, sodium and when to see a doctor.
Short answer
Borjomi is a medicinal table mineral water with a high salt content, so it shouldn't replace ordinary water by the litre. Healthy people usually stick to one or two glasses a day, while a therapeutic course, its dose and duration should be set by a doctor. With kidney or heart disease, high blood pressure or a low-salt diet, drink Borjomi only after consulting a doctor.
Why
- Borjomi is rich in sodium and bicarbonates, hence its slightly salty taste.
- In Borjomi park you can taste warm water straight from the spring.
- Many let the gas out before drinking, which is gentler on the stomach.
Details
For daily drinking, softer table waters such as Nabeghlavi or plain water are better. If you take medication, ask your doctor whether mineral water interferes.
Tip
Let the gas out before drinking Borjomi; it's gentler on the stomach.
