There is a well-balanced amount of minerals contained in beer. Being relatively high in potassium and low in sodium it is an ideal drink to include in diets for hypertensive patients (De Stefano and Montanari, 1996). It is low in calcium and rich in magnesium which may help protect against gall stone and kidney stone formation.<ref name=monmay>Montanari L, Mayer H, Marconi O, Fantozzi P.

A large amount of potassium (500–600 mg/L) is particularly interesting for the nutritional importance of beer. Due to an osmotic effect, a high potassium content promotes the elimination of [[sodium]] and [[chloride]]s and therefore helps body dehydration and demineralization (De Stefano and Montanari, 1996). It remains in the final product and accounts for 30% of the recommended daily amount, considering 1 L of medium alcoholic beer as an acceptable daily intake.<ref name=monmay/> | |||
