What's in Bavarian Beer? Part 1 - Minerals, Trace elements and Vitamins

Minerals and Trace Elements
There are roughly 1,500 parts per million (ppm) of some 30 minerals and trace elements combined in beer. This is the equivalent of 1,500 milligrams per liter or per 0.264 gallons (about one quart). Such nutritive loading alone makes beer an exceptionally healthy beverage.

Of these elements, about one-third (about 550 ppm) is potassium. One liter of beer, therefore, supplies the average adult body with 27% of the minimum daily requirement of potassium.

Beer also contains 96 ppm of magnesium, which means that one liter of beer covers 29% of the adult minimum daily requirement of this mineral. Magnesium has a positive effect on cardiac activities and aids in the prevention of heart attacks. This effect is enhanced if the daily diet is also low in calcium. Happily, Bavarian beer contains what nutritionists consider only a small amount of calcium, about 35 ppm. This favorable ratio between magnesium and calcium also helps to prevent gall and kidney stones.

Bavarian beer has 319 ppm of phosphorus, the equivalent of 23% of a person’s daily minimum requirement in one liter.

Food should not be judged merely by the beneficial elements it contains, however. It should be judged also by the potentially noxious elements it does not contain. In this context, it is important to know that Bavarian beer is a low-sodium drink with only 44 ppm of sodium. This makes it an ideal dietary component in a low-sodium diet for people with high blood pressure, edema, or kidney disease.

Vitamins
Beer, like bread, is made from grain. During the malting process grain starts to germinate. This process makes the grain’s vitamins and other elements more accessible to the body and thus enhances its nutritional value. Nutritionists have identified 14 different vitamin compounds in beer — including vitamins A, D, E, and, most importantly, B — for a combined vitamin total of 210 ppm.

In the B-group, the following vitamins are the most important (they are listed with their quantities per liter of beer in parentheses followed by the percentages of adult minimum daily requirements met by the consumption one liter of beer per day):

Thiamine B1 (0.028 grams/liter) = 2% of adult minimum daily requirement
Riboflavin B2 (0.33 grams/liter) = 20% of adult minimum daily requirement
Niacin (7.73 grams/liter) = 46% of adult minimum daily requirement
Pyridoxine B6 (0.61 grams/liter) = 36% of adult minimum daily requirement
Folic acid (89 micrograms/liter) = 38% of adult minimum daily requirement
Pantothenic acid (1.5 grams/liter) = 24% of adult minimum daily requirement
Biotin (12 micrograms/liter) = 18% of adult minimum daily requirement
Cobalamin B12 (0.82 microgram/liter) = 27% of adult minimum daily requirement

B-vitamins are essential for almost all digestive processes. Several of them enhance vision and the formation of blood cells, and they expand the blood vessels in the brain, which supply oxygen and nutrients. Niacin also influences the functioning of the heart, the central nervous system, and the immune system. Folic acid reduces the amount of homocysteine, a low-density lipoprotein or “bad cholesterol” (LDL), in the blood stream. Elevated levels of this protein are considered a major risk factor in cardiovascular disease. Several B-vitamins are also responsible for healthy skin and beautiful hair.
