High-calcium mineral water in Romania: top 10 compared
Among the mineral waters available in Romania in the h2oMatch database, these have the highest calcium values.
Romania's high-calcium mineral waters reflect the country's Carpathian and Transylvanian geology - a complex landscape of limestone, dolomite, and volcanic formations that produces springs with varied but often meaningful calcium concentrations.
The mineral waters available in Romania with the most calcium — top 10 by calcium content
The ten mineral waters available in Romania with the highest calcium values in the h2oMatch database, based on official label data.

While waters available in Romania generally do not reach the extreme calcium levels of France's Hépar or Italy's Fonte Essenziale, they offer a solid range of options with 150-350 mg/L of calcium, typically combined with substantial bicarbonate and sometimes significant magnesium - creating a balanced, well-rounded mineral profile.
For Romanian consumers, these waters represent an underappreciated domestic resource: calcium-rich, locally sourced, and produced under EU-aligned quality standards, often at more accessible price points than imported high-mineral alternatives.
Under EU regulation for natural mineral waters, the indication ‘contains calcium’ may be used when calcium exceeds 150 mg/L: all ten waters in the top 10 exceed that threshold.
Watch the variant: many Romanian brands bottle different springs for their still and sparkling versions, with entirely different mineral profiles — Borsec Carbogazificată has 308 mg/L of calcium, while Borsec Plata has 55.3 mg/L. Always check the label of the exact variant.

FAQ
Which mineral water has the most calcium in Romania?
Borsec Carbogazificată leads with 308 mg/L, followed by Bucovina Carbogazificată (273 mg/L) and Aqua Magnesia (268.8 mg/L). Values come from the official labels in the h2oMatch database; the full top 10 is in the table above.
Why do Borsec Plata and Borsec Carbogazificată show such different values?
Because they come from different springs: the sparkling variant has 308 mg/L of calcium and 101 mg/L of magnesium, while Borsec Plata has 55.3 and 31.4 mg/L. Several Romanian brands bottle separate sources for still and sparkling water — the label of the exact variant is the only reliable reference.
When can a water be called "calcic"?
Under the rules for natural mineral waters, the claim is permitted when calcium exceeds 150 mg/L. Uncommon fact: all ten waters in the Romanian top clear this threshold.
Is calcium from mineral water absorbed by the body?
Yes. Calcium from mineral water is bioavailable and can contribute to overall dietary calcium intake.
Are all the calcium-rich waters in Romania sparkling?
Mostly yes — nine of the ten waters in the top are sparkling or lightly sparkling, a sign that CO₂-rich Carpathian springs dissolve more minerals from the rock. The only exception in the top is Vittel, a still water imported from France (240 mg/L).
All values are based on official mineral water labels and the h2oMatch database.
