Michael Mascha’s, “Fine Waters”: A Connoisseur’s Guide to the World’s Most Distinctive Bottled Waters” was the topic of an earlier blog post.
”Human Essential Elements Periodicity”, was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Here I present: “Human Essential Elements”, Part Two (2), “Silver & Gold”.
The minerals table BELOW was presented in the earlier blog post. The Human Body is composed:
Water 60%
Fat 16%
Protein 16%
Minerals 6%
Carbohydrate 1%
Nuclei Acid 1%
The mineral percentage of the Human Body is:
Oxygen 65%
Carbon 18%
Hydrogen 10%
Nitrogen 3%
Calcium 1.4%
Phosphorus 1.1%
Sulfur 0.25%
Potassium 0.2%
Sodium 0.15%
Chloride 0.15%
Magnesium 0.05%
Iron … trace.
Fluorine … trace.
Zinc … trace.
Boron … trace.
Arsenic … trace.
Selenium … trace.
Iodine … trace.
Manganese … trace.
Molybdenum … trace.
Cobalt … trace.
Lithium … trace.
Chromium … trace.
The above list is 99.5% listed percentages; and, trace elements are 0.5% of the Human Body. Silver and Gold are not listed as essential elements.
This does not mean that Au (gold) & Ag (silver) have no enzymes in vertebrate tissue by Enzyme Commission # 7.2.2.15 is an Ag (silver) translocase. Gold biochemistry is a current research area. Again, I don’t know of nutritionally essential studies of these two elements.
P-type Ag+ transporter;
Ag+-exporting ATPase (EC #7.2.2.15) |
Edible foils of Au (gold) & Ag (silver) are used for Culinary garnish; and, Au (gold) & Ag (silver) in mineral water is common.


SUMMARY.
India has a cuisine traditionally used Au (gold) & Ag (silver) foil for garnish (shown ABOVE & BELOW)

The world’s most expensive water Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani (is shown BELOW) and is bottled in Au (gold) & Ag (silver) decanters.

Aur’a is a mineral water from a source of Au (gold) & Ag (silver) (shown BENEATH in the analysis).
