The science and potential of sea water

Sea water is a complex mineral solution formed over millions of years through geological and biological processes. It contains water (H₂O) and a wide variety of minerals and trace elements in ionic form, which favours their bioavailability.

From a biochemical point of view, the human internal environment shares similarities with the primitive marine environment, especially in the presence of key electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium.

Why are marine minerals relevant to the body?

Minerals perform essential functions in the human body:

  • Regulation of water balance
  • Nerve transmission
  • Muscle contraction
  • Cellular energy production (ATP)
  • pH regulation
  • Enzyme activation
  • Immune function
  • Oxygen transport

These minerals are directly involved in vital functions such as hydration, muscle function, energy metabolism and hormonal regulation.

Scientific support

Scientific evidence establishes that:

  • Dehydration affects physical and cognitive performance.
  • Sodium improves fluid retention.
  • Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions.
  • Potassium regulates muscle and cardiac function.
  • Electrolytes are essential for cellular balance.
