Natural mineral water from the springs of Serra de Penha Garcia, which have supplied the historic Monfortinho Thermal Baths since the early 20th century, is now available in bottled form. This marks a new chapter for one of Portugal's most emblematic waters, whose unique composition distinguishes it on the national scene. Sourced from an area of high environmental richness, this water has an unusually high concentration of silica – about 53 mg/l – one of the highest values worldwide. Silica is cited by several studies as playing an essential role in biological processes related to skin regeneration, tissue elasticity, collagen formation, bone health, and cellular defense against oxidative stress. Eastern tradition, particularly in Asian countries, has associated the regular consumption of silica-rich waters with maintaining youthful skin and longevity. With a pH of 5.8 and hyposaline characteristics, this water is particularly light, suitable for daily consumption, and recommended for people with renal, respiratory, or high blood pressure conditions. The therapeutic properties of Monfortinho water have been recognized over the decades in the treatment of metabolic-endocrine, rheumatic, musculoskeletal, dermatological, circulatory, nephro-urinary, and respiratory diseases. Alongside its natural qualities, there is also a focus on environmental sustainability. The water is now distributed in 100% recyclable aluminum packaging, an option aimed at minimizing ecological impact while ensuring the preservation of its properties, protecting it from light and thermal fluctuations. Another relevant aspect is the monitoring of the presence of PFAS – persistent chemical compounds that are difficult to eliminate and potentially harmful – a topic increasingly present on the European public health agenda. Monfortinho waters have undergone specific analyses and revealed no trace of these substances, something that remains rare even on a global scale.
