why oxidation is ruining your electrolytes and what you can do

What is Oxidation?

Oxidation is a chemical reaction where molecules interact with oxygen, often leading to the breakdown or degradation of substances. When electrolytes are exposed to air, light, or moisture, oxidation occurs, altering their chemical structure. This means that the electrolytes you consume are no longer as beneficial as you expect.

Salt is Corrosive

Electrolytes contain salts, which can be highly corrosive. When salts are exposed to oxygen, they break down and lose their stability. This can make your electrolyte solution not only less effective but also potentially harmful, as corroded salts create imbalances in your body.

Why Packaging Matters

Many electrolyte products are sold in bulk containers, large bottles, cans or require dilution in water. Once opened, these products are exposed to air, which accelerates oxidation. Additionally, packaging materials like plastic and metal can pose a risk. Plastics can leach chemicals, while metals can corrode over time, further compromising the quality of your electrolytes. This combination of oxidation and packaging degradation can undermine the health benefits you’re seeking.

What Are Electrolytes and How Do They Work?

Electrolytes are charged ions—such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and magnesium (Mg2+)—that dissolve in water and help conduct electrical signals throughout the body. These ions play a critical role in maintaining fluid balance, supporting muscle contraction, regulating nerve impulses, and managing pH levels. When electrolytes are in their optimal form, they ensure efficient cellular function, but when oxidation occurs, their molecular structure changes, reducing their effectiveness.

Why Quinton Stands Out

Quinton stands out by encapsulating its 78 minerals and electrolytes in single-use ampoules and sachets, sealed to prevent oxidation and preserve their peak ionic state. This ready-to-consume, liquid format ensures maximum effectiveness and safety without the need for preservatives. By avoiding dilution in water and exposure to air or corrosive materials, Quinton maintains the potency of its ingredients, offering a pure and powerful mineral replenishment solution.

frequently asked questions

Need help finding answers to your 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 Hypertonic:


Quinton Hypertonic contains a higher concentration of minerals than your blood plasma, making it a potent mineral booster. It works through osmosis, not only drawing essential nutrients and water into the cells but also helping to expel toxins and waste products. This process supports improved detoxification, boosts cell health, and combats overnight dehydration. For optimal benefits, take it in the morning on an empty stomach or during exercise to enhance energy, focus, and recovery.

 

Quinton Isotonic:


Quinton Isotonic is formulated to match the mineral concentration of your blood plasma, allowing for gentle, seamless absorption without disrupting cellular balance. Its balanced mineral profile provides hydration and helps restore the body's internal environment. It is best used before meals or at bedtime, as it supports remineralization while you sleep, promoting relaxation, recovery, and overall cellular health.

What is the difference between Quinton and Totum?

Quinton and Totum contain the same natural marine plasma, providing the full spectrum of 78 minerals and trace elements. The main difference lies in the packaging and convenience. Totum comes in exercise or travel-friendly sachets, making it easy to take on the go. Each Totum sachet also contains twice the net quantity compared to a Quinton ampoule, making it ideal for those with higher mineral needs during intense exercise or travel.

How should Quinton be taken?

Quinton is best taken directly, undiluted, for maximum effectiveness. Here’s how to incorporate each type into your daily routine:

 

Quinton Hypertonic: Take 1 ampoule in the morning on an empty stomach to kickstart your day with a powerful mineral boost. You can also take additional ampoules during exercise or periods of high stress for an extra energy lift and enhanced recovery.

 

Quinton Isotonic: Use 1 ampoule before meals or before bed for gentle hydration and cellular balance. Taking it at night can support relaxation and remineralization as you sleep.

 

General Guideline: You can take 1 to 6 ampoules daily, depending on your individual needs and lifestyle. For specific guidance, consult a healthcare provider.

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.
