neutral  Jan Castillo: I would have to ask if your average reader would know what oligoelements are. If this is for a specialized audience, it might be fine.Checking online it seems that this term might be used more in Europe.Trace elements would be more common in the Americas.

neutral  sugrass: Lo que quiere decir el texto es que los oligoelementos se encuentran en alta concentración: no las aguas termales. El agua por sí sola (termal, de mar, etc.) nunca está en alta o baja concentración, sino los elementos que contiene:-)

agree  Patrice: note to Jan: oligoelements is equally used in the Americas in the context of beauty products...I would, however, say "thermal waters and highly concentrated oligoelements", Maria.

agree  Michele Fauble: This makes more sense - 'thermal waters/hot spring waters with a high concentration of oligoelements/trace elements' would make better sense.
