remineralization
Quinton Isotonic
Quinton is the 'gold standard' for medical-grade remineralization, harvested from protected plankton blooms in the ocean and cold-microfiltered to preserve delicate organic compounds. It matches the mineral concentration of human blood plasma, making it exceptionally biocompatible for cellular hydration.
Quality & Materials
Harvested from the Bay of Biscay. Contains the full periodic table of elements in an organic, colloidal form that mimics the extracellular matrix.
Evidence & Testing
Based on over 100 years of clinical use in Europe. Quicksilver Scientific maintains rigorous third-party testing for microplastics and heavy metals.
Brand Transparency
Fully transparent about the harvesting coordinates and the cold-filtration process which avoids the degradation seen in heat-treated competitors.
Value Assessment
High price point makes it a premium option, but the bioavailability means a smaller dose is often more effective than larger doses of inorganic salts.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most mineral drops are heat-processed or chemically treated; Quinton uses cold-sterilization (René Quinton protocol), which preserves the 'living' quality of the seawater minerals. It is far superior to standard electrolyte powders that use synthetic mineral salts.
