5 Lies the Hydration Industry Keeps Telling You

And the truths your cells have been waiting for....

Lie: Powders and Tablets Are “Advanced” Hydration

Truth: They’re shelf-stable and cheap to make — but far from optimal.

 

Most powders and tablets aren’t even true electrolytes until they dissolve and dissociate into free mineral ions — a process that depends on water quality, stomach acid, and time. During this process, 50–95% is often lost.

 

Electrolytes, by definition, need to be liquid ions to function. If they’re not already dissolved, your body has to do the work — and most of it goes to waste.

Lie: You Just Need Sodium, Magnesium, and Potassium

Truth: Hydration isn’t a 3-mineral equation.

 

Your body requires a broad spectrum of 70+ ionic minerals and trace elements to support fluid balance, nerve signaling, energy production, and detoxification. Overloading a few minerals while ignoring the rest only leads to imbalances and wasted effort.

Lie: You Need Sugar to Absorb Electrolytes

Truth: Sugar activates one absorption pathway — but it’s not required.

 

The sodium-glucose co-transport system is one mechanism. But when electrolytes are already in ionic form, they can be absorbed via concentration gradients and passive transport — no sugar needed.

 

Let’s be honest — it’s usually an excuse brands use to justify their use of sugar, sweeteners, and flavour carriers like maltodextrin.

Lie: More Water = Better Hydration

Truth: Drinking more water without minerals can make things worse.

 

Excess plain water dilutes your internal electrolyte levels, leading to symptoms like fatigue, bloating, or even hyponatremia. Hydration isn’t about volume — it’s about intracellular absorption, which depends on minerals being present in the right balance, and at the right concentrations.

Lie: Hydration Is About How Much You Consume

Truth: Hydration isn’t about total electrolytes or total water — it’s about the right concentration and fluid balance.

 

Without the right forms, ratios, and concentrations, your cells won’t absorb the water and nutrients they need to function at their best. More is not better — better is better.

Frequently asked questions

What is Quinton?

Quinton is a seawater-based mineral solution that mirrors the essential mineral and trace element composition of human blood plasma. It contains all 78 essential minerals and trace elements in an ionic form, making it highly bioavailable and beneficial for various bodily functions.

What is the difference between Quinton Isotonic and Hypertonic

Quinton Isotonic: This formulation is diluted to match the concentration of minerals and trace elements found in human blood plasma. It is often referred to as an "internal terrain normaliser." Quinton Isotonic is used to help maintain general wellness, support the immune system, and promote homeostasis in the body. Due to its isotonic nature, it's gentle and can be especially beneficial for sensitive individuals or for hydrating purposes.

 

Quinton Hypertonic: This is a more concentrated version of the mineral solution. Being hypertonic means it has a higher concentration of minerals and trace elements compared to the isotonic version.

It's typically used for quick replenishment of minerals, providing an energy boost, or during times when the body might need extra support, such as periods of stress or after intense physical activity.

How should Quinton be taken?

Dosage: 1-6 ampoules daily. We recommend taking the Isotonic in the morning and before bed. The Hypertonic should be used for quick replenishment of minerals, providing an energy boost, or during times when the body might need extra support, such as periods of stress or after intense physical activity.

 

Timing: Many users find it beneficial to take Quinton on an empty stomach to ensure optimal absorption. This typically means taking it at least 30 minutes before meals or a couple of hours after.

 

Method of Intake: Quinton can be consumed directly from the ampoule or vial. If you find the taste too strong, it can be diluted in a glass of water.

 

Storage: Ensure that Quinton is stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it should be consumed immediately to maintain its potency.

Is Quinton Safe for People with High Blood Pressure?

Yes, Quinton is generally safe for people with high blood pressure. The concern with sodium typically stems from its presence in processed foods and its imbalance with other minerals like potassium. Quinton’s mineral ratios closely mimic those found in human blood plasma, which helps in regulating blood pressure naturally. However, a very small percentage of users (less than 5%) with extreme sensitivities may find the Hypertonic solution less suitable due to its higher mineral concentration. For these individuals, the Isotonic solution may be more appropriate.

How does Quinton support cognitive function?

Quinton enhances cognitive performance by optimising neurotransmitter balance, thanks to its rich blend of minerals and trace elements. This promotes efficient neuron activity, which is vital for clear thinking, focus, and overall brain function.

Can Quinton assist with migraines?

Yes, Quinton aids in migraine relief by harmonising electrolytes, modulating vascular tone to help prevent vasospasms, stabilising neural excitability, and potentially minimising inflammation, although individual results may vary.

Is Quinton safe for daily consumption?

Yes, Quinton is safe for daily consumption

How does Quinton differ from other mineral supplements?

Unique Composition: Quinton is derived from seawater and has a composition that mirrors the essential mineral and trace element makeup of human blood plasma. This ensures that the body recognizes and absorbs the minerals in their most natural form, leading to optimal utilization.

 

lonic minerals: Our minerals are present in ionic form meaning upon consumption, they don't have to go through your digestive system like other mineral solutions. Instead, they are immediately and naturally absorbed and utilised by your cells.

 

Natural vs. Synthetic: Unlike many supplements that contain synthesized or isolated minerals, Quinton provides minerals and trace elements in their natural, ionic form. This is essential because natural, ionic minerals are more bioavailable, meaning the body can absorb and use them more efficiently than their synthetic counterparts.

 

No Artificial Ingredients: Quinton is free from artificial additives, fillers, or preservatives. Its purity ensures that you're getting a 100% natural mineral solution without any potential contaminants or unnecessary ingredients.

Does Quinton have any side-effects?

Quinton is generally well-tolerated with no known side effects. It's suitable for individuals across all age groups and has no known contraindications when combined with other supplements or medical conditions.
