problem 1: bioavailability

The hydration industry runs on marketing — not biology. 

 

Shiny labels, high numbers, and bold claims dominate. But most people don’t even know the difference between a mineral and an electrolyte.

Your cells can only use minerals in their ionic form — electrolytes. That means dissolved, dissociated, and charged in water.

But most products deliver minerals in bound forms like magnesium oxide or potassium chloride. Your body has to break those bonds before use — and it’s bad at it. 

 

Take magnesium oxide:

Label says 200mg

You absorb less than 4% — just 8mg of usable magnesium ions

Why do brands use these forms?

Cheap

Easy to flavour

Long shelf life

It’s like drying a fresh fish to make it last longer — then soaking it in water and pretending it’s wild-caught again.

When minerals are stripped, dried, and rehydrated… 

 

You lose:

The ionic form

Natural cofactors

Synergy

Effectiveness

The label might look good — but your cells get almost nothing.

problem 2: concentration

One of the most overlooked — and most critical — factors in hydration is concentration. 

 

Most brands tell you to “dilute to taste” or “add to your favorite drink.” 

 

That’s a marketing trick, not a hydration strategy.

 

Let’s break it down:

Mix 1 tsp of salt in 50ml of water → highly concentrated → pulls water out of your cells

Mix the same tsp in 2 liters of water → diluted → draws water into your cells

Same ingredients. Completely different result.

 

This is osmosis — hydration governed by concentration gradients, not total volume.

That’s why "more water" or "more electrolytes" isn’t the answer. The answer is precision.

Someone who’s overhydrated, mineral-depleted, or under stress shouldn’t use the same formula as a high-performance athlete — and certainly not one based on taste.

why the ocean is still the gold standard

All other products contain minerals pretending to be electrolytes.

 

Only ocean-sourced solutions contain the full spectrum — as your body evolved to use. 

 

Ocean electrolytes are:

Already ionic — instantly absorbable

Suspended in their natural cofactors

Naturally balanced to reflect human biology

Quinton doesn’t try to mimic nature in a lab.

It simply delivers what nature already perfected.

Sourced from phytoplankton vortexes, Quinton is:

Cold-extracted (no heat, pressure, or chemicals)

Micro-filtered to remove contaminants

Packaged in single-dose glass ampoules or sachets

Preserved in the exact concentration your cells require

It’s not a mix. 

 

It’s not a formula. 

 

It’s the ocean — intact, protected, and delivered as your body recognises it.

a blueprint for your health

Quinton isn’t a supplement. 

 

It’s a cellular hydration blueprint.

No synthetic ingredients. 

 

No sweeteners. 

 

No lab-made minerals. 

 

Just the original mineral environment your cells are built to thrive in.

When your cells get the right mineral environment, everything shifts. 

 

Common changes people report:

More stable energy

Clearer focus

Deeper sleep

Less bloating

Fewer cravings

Greater emotional resilience

Because every system in your body — your brain, digestion, hormones, even your mood — depends on hydrated, functional cells.

Quinton doesn’t override your biology. It restores the environment your biology depends on.

hydration is not one-size-fits-all

Your hydration needs are personal — and dynamic.

An athlete loses different minerals than someone sitting at a desk

A pregnant woman needs a different protocol than someone recovering from burnout

No flavourings, sweeteners, or preservatives 

Yet most products give everyone the same formula, in the same concentration, based on taste.

Hydration isn’t about more. It’s about the right form, the right balance, at the right time.

And Quinton gives you exactly that — nothing more, nothing less.

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.
