to be in the normal range and a good way to stave off osteoporosis? I don't consume dairy.

You would have to find a mineral water that would tell you how much calcium is actually in the product.I drink Gerolsteiner and there's only 345 MG of calcium in 1 liter of it and that brand is a top brand.I would just take a Calcium/Magnesium supplement.

First off, ask your doctor. This is not a matter to leave solely in the hands of a QVC forum, though you may find interesting tips.

Second, arm yourself with information. This might be a good place to start: https://wellnessmama.com/18369/calcium-without-dairy/

Dark, leafy greens are an excellent source of calcium.

Good luck, and research 'til the cows come home! No pun intended.

No, I don't know that mineral  water has enough calcium in it to act as a calcium supplement, I sincerely doubt it.  If want or need a calcium supplement, take a supplement.

Thank you everyone I just don't get the appeal of mineral water if not to gain some sort of benefit from the minerals.

Kidney stones from drinking too much mineral water?

Nope.

In fact, drinking water..any water..helps prevent kidney stones.

They usually occur by what you are eating.
