Therapeutic Mineral Water LUGELA: Origin, Unique Composition, and Scientific History
Tbilisi, 2026
Lugela fundamentally differs from common table and medicinal-table mineral waters. It is taken not by the glass but strictly in dosed courses, following instructions and individual specialist recommendations.
The value of LUGELA is defined not only by its high mineralization and predominance of natural calcium. The water represents a nature-formed complex of macro- and microelements acting not in isolation but as a unified mineral system.
This natural integrity became the subject of long-term scientific research, pharmacological observations, and clinical application.
Lugela Spring
The spring is located in the picturesque Lugela Gorge, among the mountain ranges of Western Georgia. Passing through deep mineral rocks, the water naturally saturates with calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, chlorides, bromides, iodides, fluorides, silicon, and other natural components.
The total mineralization of LUGELA is 42.1 g/l. This classifies it as a highly mineralized therapeutic water requiring precise dosing.
The composition of LUGELA includes:
- calcium;
- sodium;
- potassium;
- magnesium;
- chlorides;
- bromides;
- iodides;
- fluorides;
- sulfates;
- silicic acid;
- microelements;
- lanthanoid group elements.
Calcium holds a dominant position in the natural mineral complex. However, LUGELA's value is not limited to the content of a single element. Its properties result from the combination of components formed in a natural environment and in a stable ratio.
Why Natural Composition Matters
The human body is not a set of separate organs. The circulatory, nervous, endocrine, immune, digestive, and other systems constantly interact through blood, intercellular fluid, mineral exchange, and cellular processes.
Calcium participates in many physiological mechanisms:
- muscle contraction;
- nerve impulse transmission;
- regulation of vascular tone;
- heart function;
- blood clotting processes;
- formation of bone tissue and teeth;
- enzyme activity;
- cell signaling;
- maintenance of electrolyte balance.
But the proper course of these processes depends not only on calcium intake. The natural form, interaction with other elements, the state of the digestive system, mineral balance, and the body's ability to absorb necessary components are significant.
Therefore, LUGELA is viewed not as an isolated source of calcium but as a holistic natural highly mineralized complex.
LUGELA is not an Artificial Calcium Chloride Solution
External similarity of some composition indicators does not make the natural therapeutic water an analogue of an artificially prepared solution.
Scientific studies dedicated to LUGELA have noted differences between natural water and laboratory calcium chloride solution. The natural mineral complex differs in component combination, origin, biological properties, and interaction with the body.
Mineral substances in LUGELA formed in a natural environment over a long geological period. They are not isolated chemical compounds but a formed system of natural elements.
That is why the effect of LUGELA has been investigated as the effect of a holistic mineral complex, not as the result of a single chemical substance's presence.
More Than a Hundred Years of Scientific Study
Scientific interest in the Lugela spring formed in the first half of the 20th century. Researchers studied the water’s chemical composition, physico-chemical properties, pharmacological effects, and practical application.
Over the years, Georgian and Soviet scientists, doctors, pharmacologists, physiologists, and resortology specialists researched LUGELA.
Among scientific sources dedicated to Lugela are:
- monographs;
- dissertation research;
- pharmacological experiments;
- clinical observations;
- scientific and medical articles;
- materials from specialized institutes;
- regulatory and departmental documents;
- publications on balneology and resortology.
A special place is held by works of D. V. DJAVAKHISHVILI, M. Glonti, V. Andguladze, and other researchers who consistently studied the composition, properties, and various application areas of LUGELA.
The scientific value of these materials is that Lugela was studied not within a single narrow field. Scientists examined its influence on physiological processes, mineral metabolism, hematopoiesis, digestion, skin condition, vascular mechanisms, and function of various organs and systems.
Official Recognition
Materials from scientific research on LUGELA were considered by medical and scientific institutions of the Soviet Union.
The monograph by D. V. DJAVAKHISHVILI records the inclusion of Lugela in the USSR State Pharmacopoeia. Scientific materials also include information on consideration of research findings by the Scientific Council of the USSR Ministry of Health.
This indicates that Lugela was studied not just as a natural source or a local traditional remedy. It became an object of official scientific, pharmacological, and medical attention.
The history of LUGELA unites three important directions:
- long-term practical application experience;
- official recognition by medical authorities;
- scientific and clinical research.
This combination of factors established Lugela’s special position among natural mineral complexes.
From Studying Individual Properties to Systemic Understanding
In early stages, researchers focused mainly on the water’s chemical composition and specific application fields. As results accumulated, it became clear that LUGELA's effect cannot be fully explained by influence on just one organ or physiological state.
Modern scientific synthesis allows considering LUGELA as a natural complex involved in maintaining fundamental body processes:
- mineral and electrolyte metabolism;
- hematopoiesis;
- microcirculation;
- neuromuscular conductivity;
- cellular regulation;
- vascular-tissue exchange;
- natural recovery processes.
Human organs and systems are closely connected. Changes in digestive system function can affect mineral absorption, blood circulation state influences tissue nutrition, and mineral balance is linked to nervous, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems.
Therefore, the scientific concept of LUGELA is built on systemic organism understanding, not on attempts to affect just one manifestation of disorder.
Why LUGELA is Taken in Courses
High mineralization determines a special usage regimen. LUGELA is not intended for quenching thirst or unlimited consumption.
The water is taken in small doses with strict adherence to the established interval between intakes. Course duration and product quantity are calculated according to instructions.
For an adult, the recommended monthly course includes four bottles of LUGELA.
During the course, it is important to observe:
- the recommended dosage;
- the established interval between intakes;
- adequate drinking regimen;
- dietary recommendations;
- product storage conditions;
- indicated contraindications.
One should not increase the dose independently. A higher dosage does not imply faster or more pronounced results.
Individual Character of the Result
Mineral metabolism, digestive system condition, age, lifestyle, nutrition, presence of chronic diseases, and adherence to instructions vary for each person.
Therefore, the speed and expression of individual reaction to the LUGELA course may differ. The company is responsible for product quality and safety within legally established limits but does not guarantee identical results for all consumers.
Scientifically Documented Directions of Use
The scientific heritage of LUGELA, including the monograph by D. V. DJAVAKHISHVILI and works of other researchers, reflects therapeutic water application not only for adults but also children. Among the presented materials, Lugela is recommended for pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as infants.
A separate research area is kidney diseases. In acute nephritis with hematuria, authors noted improved renal excretory function, increased diuresis, and subsequent remission of inflammation. Archive materials also mention chronic renal failure as a direction of use. Therefore, kidney function disorders cannot be automatically considered absolute contraindications to LUGELA use.
Scientific and medical materials discuss Lugela use in certain endocrine system and mineral metabolism disorders, including parathyroid insufficiency. These data confirm that the effect of the natural mineral complex was studied systemically, considering the interrelation of calcium metabolism, circulation, excretory, and endocrine systems.
LUGELA belongs to highly mineralized therapeutic waters and requires precise dosing. According to current instructions, contraindications include hypercalcemia and individual intolerance. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, infancy, kidney diseases, and endocrine disorders are not listed as contraindications. On the contrary, these application areas are reflected in the monograph by D. V. DJAVAKHISHVILI and other scientific works.
Scientific Encyclopedia and Library of LUGELA
To preserve and systematize scientific heritage, the LUGELA Scientific Encyclopedia was created.
It contains materials about water origin, composition, research history, and main physiological application directions. Separate sections are devoted to immune, circulatory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, respiratory, excretory, musculoskeletal, and integumentary systems, as well as vision, dentistry, and men's and women's health.
The LUGELA Scientific Library unites historical publications, monographs, dissertations, medical conclusions, and modern analytical materials.
This allows the reader to independently familiarize with documents and see the sources on which the published information is based.
