The top three waters are separated by less than 90 mg/L of calcium, but Eptinger contains nearly three times as much magnesium as Adelbodner (107 versus 37.1 mg/L), so similar calcium values can hide quite different profiles.

Calcium in Swiss mineral waters

This ranking lists the ten waters with the highest calcium available on the Swiss market and recorded in the h2oMatch database.

Notably: all ten waters in the Swiss top 10 clear the 150-mg/L threshold for the "containing calcium" claim — the Swiss market is unusually mineral-rich.

Mind the variant: Valser bottles more than one spring — Valser Prickelnd has 1889 mg/L fixed residue, Valser Still only 224 mg/L. The label of the specific variant is always the source of truth.

FAQ

Which mineral water has the highest calcium content in Switzerland?

Adelbodner leads with 564 mg/L, ahead of Contrex (479 mg/L) and Eptinger (475 mg/L). Values come from the official labels in the h2oMatch database; the top 10 is in the table above.

Why is Valser Prickelnd in the ranking, but not Valser Still?

Because Valser bottles different springs: Valser Prickelnd reaches 435 mg/L calcium at 1889 mg/L fixed residue, while Valser Still at 224 mg/L fixed residue is a completely different, much lighter water. What counts is always the label of the specific variant.

How mineral-rich is the Swiss market overall?

Unusually rich: even tenth place in the ranking, Rhäzünser, still sits at 223 mg/L, well above the 150 mg/L threshold for the "contains calcium" label.

Is the calcium in mineral water absorbed by the body?

Yes. Calcium from mineral water is bioavailable and can contribute to overall dietary calcium intake.

Which Swiss water combines calcium and magnesium best?

Eptinger combines 475 mg/L of calcium with 107 mg/L of magnesium, making it the market's strongest double combination. Contrex (479 and 72.2 mg/L) edges ahead on calcium but sits well behind on magnesium.

All values are based on official mineral water labels and the h2oMatch database.
