High-magnesium waters
16 waters at or above the 100 mg/L magnesium taste threshold, ranked by lab data.
Magnesium is the mineral you can actually taste — a bracing, slightly bitter, tonic-water edge. But only at real concentrations: the reported taste threshold is around 100 mg/L for sensitive palates and closer to 500 mg/L for the average person (Health Canada, magnesium guideline review). That is why our bar sits at 100, not at the EU's 50 mg/L "contains magnesium" label line — a label claim is not a flavor.
Every water below clears the tastable line, ranked by magnesium content from the published analysis. These are the spa-cure classics and the gym-bag bottles.
