SEA WATER - HYPERTONIC MARINE PLASMA MICRO-FILTERED FROM IBIZA
Minerals for Maximum Vitality
Marine plasma is high-quality seawater that is micro-filtered and cold-sterilized, allowing you to incorporate it into your everyday cooking.
So can we drink seawater? If you're wondering, watch this short presentation video that explains in 2 minutes why it's not just any seawater:
Seawater is an excellent nutrient for the body because it contains all the minerals and trace elements of the human body. Seawater in a bag-in-box is cold micro-filtered. To obtain ultrafiltered seawater, head to our marine plasma in a 75cl bottle or in small 100ml bottle with spray.
Marine plasma remineralizes your body naturally, but that's not all: discover all its "superpowers" in the "Benefits" tab of this page and in our blog article. on the benefits of seawater.
🌊 How is this seawater collected ?
The company Ibiza & Formentera Agua de Mar was founded by Alfonso and David following health issues that were greatly improved thanks to marine plasma. They pay very close attention to the quality of this seawater and strive to respect the biological and subtle phenomena of the water as much as possible in order to preserve all its trace elements, minerals, and beneficial components intact.
Harvesting in the open sea far from beaches and densely populated areas, collecting at a depth of 5 meters in plankton concentration zones, no harvesting in the summer when it is too hot... are some of the very precise parameters they follow for each harvest.
The water is then micro-filtered between 4 and 5°C (when the density is optimal) and then left to rest before being bottled.
Very thorough checks are carried out on each batch to ensure water free from pollutants, hydrocarbons, microplastics, heavy metals, or pathogens.
> Meet the two founders of Ibiza & Formentera Agua de Mar and discover through images how the harvesting process takes place in the video below. You will learn more about their ecological commitment, their analysis methods, and the guarantees of marine plasma quality:
🌊 Where is this seawater collected ?
The islands of Ibiza and Formentera were not chosen by chance for the harvesting of marine plasma. It is important that the water comes from the Mediterranean Sea, as it is the only ecosystem that brings together these advantages:
- Posidonia seagrass meadows (oxygen production and CO2 capture)
- Natura 2000 protected areas, UNESCO, and "marine protected areas" zones
- a very restrictive railway regulation (products used and traffic)
- no nuclear pollution
The harvest is mainly carried out on the west coast of the island of Ibiza, which is the area richest in Posidonia seagrass beds, plankton, and therefore marine life, and where ocean currents keep the seawater perfectly clean.
> Eric Viard explains in detail the importance of each of these parameters in this video:
🌊 How to use it ?
- Seawater in a Bag-in-Box is recommended for cooking and food use. It is ideal for people who want to limit their consumption of traditional table salt or who are following a salt-free diet. Very convenient with its tap dispenser, it is easy to add a small amount of marine plasma to any preparation. Season your soups, dishes, vegetable juices, vegetable pâtés, sauces, etc., with plasma instead of regular salt. A simple gesture for a body that stays healthy.
It's the perfect ingredient for making your lacto-fermentations !
In cooking, seawater enhances and improves the taste of many foods without masking their authentic flavor. However, it is not recommended to cook it; add it at the end of preparation (it loses chelating properties above 60°C).
Find more details about its integration into the kitchen in our blog articles:
- Which salt to use for lacto-fermentation ? ?
- Lacto-fermentation with marine plasma - You can also dilute it to use it in isotony (= marine plasma at the same concentration as blood plasma).
- You can also incorporate it into your beauty routine, as a local application, to tone and remineralize your skin and enhance your hair. Check out our blog article on this topic: Marine plasma to enhance and care for your skin ?
> For any other use, please contact your naturopath/healthcare professional directly.
🌊 How to obtain isotonic marine plasma ?
The formula to obtain isotonic marine plasma solution from hypertonic marine plasma Ibiza & Formentera is as follows:
Mix 1/4 hypertonic marine plasma + 3/4 spring water.
> For example, for 1L of isotonic plasma = 250 ml of hypertonic solution + 750 ml of spring water
We are like isotonic seawater: that is to say, our blood plasma contains about 9 g/L of mineral salts, compared to seawater which contains about 36 g/L, and the proportions of the different trace elements are similar to those in blood.
We advise keeping your plasma in isotonic form in a bottle in the fridge for only 24 hours.
> To learn more, check out our blog post: Isotonic or hypertonic marine plasma ?
🌊 What are the differences between the bottle, the BIB, and Quinton water ?
This is one of the questions we get asked most frequently. Here is a quick comparison to help you see more clearly:
| BIB | Bottle |
| micro-filtration 0.22 micron | micro-filtered then ultra-filtered At 0.01 micron |
| Coldly | Coldly |
| harvest at a depth of 5 meters | Harvest at a depth of 25 m with very precise tests BEFORE harvest |
The René Quinton process is a registered patent. It uses double filtration under very controlled conditions, and more than 100 parameters are evaluated post-harvest. Therefore, a specific certification is required to use this name.
The Marine plasma in a bottle Ibiza & Formentera, with its ultra-filtration, is the one that uses the same process. Its final quality is almost identical and can therefore be used in the same way as theQuinton water.
🌊 SEA WATER, A UNIQUE AND INIMITABLE SOURCE OF LIFE
Seawater has such a varied chemical composition that it cannot be artificially synthesized. What does this mean exactly ?
Sea water cannot be manufactured., because it contains many trace elements that make an "industrial" or "domestic" synthesis - namely mixing water with salt and minerals - unconvincing. Such a mixture is simply saltwater that does not contain the specific properties of seawater.
The salt we can buy does not contain all the mineral salts and trace elements already dissolved in seawater. The majority of commercial salt loses, during processing, drying, and refining, a large part of the components found in seawater, leaving only sodium and chlorine. And not to mention the addition of additives by certain brands.
So ordinary salt, even if it comes from the sea, does not resemble seawater at all: it is simply sodium chloride (NaCl).

🌊 THE CONCEPT OF THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
The internal environment of the body and seawater fulfill the same functions, one in relation to cells, the other in relation to the microorganisms of the marine ecosystem. In both cases, it involves maintaining the physical and chemical conditions in accordance with the development of life.
Both are therefore mineral environments whose homeostasis and chemical structure result from biological regulation. Furthermore, analysis shows that the compositions of seawater, blood plasma, and interstitial fluid in humans are similar.
When we study the chemical structure of seawater, two constants emerge:
- On one hand, the salts that make up the saline matrix of marine waters have a different solubility product compared to the same salts dissolved in distilled water; the solubility is not the same when considering seawater and water with the same composition (artificially).
Consequently, the hydration of sea salts is not only due to their specific nature, but also owes its particular properties to the transformation of these elements within the ecosystem cycles. This is referred to as the dynamization of marine elements.
In fact, the saline matrix of marine waters constitutes a unique natural environment that is practically impossible to reproduce artificially. This specific hydration of salts determines the physical characteristics of the water itself, the substrate of metabolism.
- On the other hand, the nature of the salts and the way the different elements are present in the saline matrix of marine waters are similar to what is found in the internal environment of the body.
> What is blood plasma ?
Our blood is composed of red and white blood cells and platelets, all suspended in blood plasma, which is the true transport medium for all these blood cells. It is made up of 90% water and a multitude of compounds: trace elements and dissolved ions, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, metabolic waste, hormones, etc.
From a therapeutic perspective, it is precisely the specific form of trace elements and mineral salts that interests us, as we seek the action they induce. This is the fundamental hypothesis on which the entire study of the concept of marine plasma is based, first presented in 1897 by René Quinton: "There is a physiological identity between marine plasma and human plasma," meaning that marine plasma has the same ability as human plasma to serve as a mineral support for cellular life.
Minerals are the "fuel" primarily used by our body, which is necessary for our cells to perform their functions optimally. They are also essential for the absorption of vitamins and are responsible for the enzymatic processes of the cells. Cells perform all their functions with maximum vitality and the precise capacity of organic, bioavailable, and alkaline cellular nutrition.
> Another great advantage of seawater is its pH.
As Otto Warburg, the father of cellular respiration and two-time Nobel Prize laureate, said, "all diseases are acidic, and where there is oxygen and alkalinity, there can be no disease.".
Due to the quality of our raw material, the hyper-oxygenated waters from the Posidonia meadows and marine currents provide purity and clarity: the Ibiza and Formentera Agua de Mar plasmas have an alkaline pH, ranging between 8.1 and 8.4, which will help the body maintain a neutral pH through homeostasis. The ingestion of seawater is recommended to control and maintain our pH, as well as an exceptional supplement for alkaline diets.
If our internal environment becomes acidic, the first thing the body will try to do is make its pH alkaline, and how does it do that ?
He primarily relies on his calcium reserves to extinguish this "fire," and this calcium is most easily found by the body in the first available resource, the bones. It is easy to understand that this mechanism leads to weaknesses.
The antioxidant and anti-acidity power produced by seawater is due to the alkalinity provided by the minerals.
Drinking directly and controlled filtered seawater is very beneficial for health, as seawater is an excellent nutrient, containing all the minerals of the periodic table, all dissolved in the best universal solvent available: water.
> Seawater also helps us stay young for a simple reason: the body regularly and cyclically regenerates all its cells, as their lifespan is limited. As we age, one of the first abilities that cells lose is the capacity to hydrate. It is known that the older we get, the less we drink. Therefore, drinking and ingesting seawater can help "awaken" this ability to hydrate, which we naturally have when we are young.
Seawater contains between 35 and 38 grams per liter of dissolved salts.
By drinking seawater, we can control and maintain our pH, keep our bones healthy, and improve our digestion. This is why it is so important to have alkaline foods in our diet. Various universities are currently studying the nutritional and therapeutic benefits of seawater, such as the University of Malaga, La Laguna (Tenerife), Antioquia (Colombia), and Nouakchott (Mauritania).
Common characteristics between blood and seawater include homeostasis (self-regulation of properties), the specific and similar presence of trace elements (essential chemical elements), and antibiotic and self-regenerative properties.

IBIZA & FORMENTERA SEA WATER
MARINE PLASMA HARVESTING BY BOAT
Our suppliers in Ibiza collect seawater by boat under the best possible conditions, which align with the recommendations of René Quinton. As far as we know, and unless proven otherwise, only five companies in the world collect this way by boat (the others collect from the shores). Additionally, they use the most advanced technologies for "sensitive" water analysis, being the representatives in Spain of the Masaru Emoto foundation and the only ones in Spain to possess a dark field microscope.
Regarding the process: the water is collected at the right time in the open sea, in an area between 40 and 200 meters deep. The collection takes place between 5 and 25 meters deep, in areas favored for their great stability in mineral composition.
> To learn more, we have created an explanatory video about seawater harvesting and the different processes used to obtain bottled marine plasma and the one obtained in Bag-In-Box.
Following our meeting with our suppliers, we were very surprised by the different existing practices of seawater harvesting around the world. We are looking for the best international suppliers for all our products and we travel worldwide to see how they work. When it does not meet our standards, we impose our own specifications (such as for olive wood plates, dehydrated seaweed at less than 40°C, coconuts, ...) to ensure optimal quality.
According to our information, many European companies are extracting water from ports, beaches, the coast, seawater desalination units, and even saline wells inland.
Our supplier harvests hypertonic marine plasma by boat in areas where plankton activity is at its peak and where seagrass meadows ensure excellent oxygenation. That being said, harvesting in a vortex, which is the icing on the cake, is not guaranteed 100%; it can be partial or even absent when the boat arrives in these very intense marine life areas. The reason is a material one: vortices are of variable, ephemeral, and random durations, which do not allow for water harvesting over a very significant time and in very large volumes. The arguments you may find here and there about harvesting in vortices from the shoreline (not by boat) deserve thorough examination...
> Our suppliers also use four methods for analyzing water quality:
- Water Crystals (Masaru Emoto)
- Darkfield microscopy
- Moratherapy (Jean Marie Danze)
- Bio-Well technology (Korotov)
> Here is a very simple question to ask your usual marine plasma supplier to gain clarity:
"How and under what conditions is seawater collected at your location, do you have photos or videos of your boats and your harvests?"
The harvesting of the highest quality marine plasma must be done at specific sites with high concentrations of plankton (blooms) that appear spontaneously after a few days of calm weather without wind and during certain seasons (not in summer, as the water is too warm) in specific locations where ocean currents conducive to the formation of mobile vortices (like cyclones) meet.
Vortexes and plankton blooms are natural and ephemeral phenomena that occur in certain places only when specific conditions are met. You have to be in the right place at the right time. A boat seems to me to be the only serious option for being able to collect in this way.
There is always a lot of information available about the location, transformation of seawater, and its multiple uses by the companies that commercialize it. However, I have never seen a single photo or video of a harvesting boat, and the exact and precise methods of harvesting are very rarely mentioned, even though these are, in my opinion, crucial and essential points.
Being an agronomist, these are always the points that interest me: a Sourcing of the highest possible quality.
- DDM: 3 years after the production date
- PackagingDimensions 20 x 20 x 32 cm
Packaged in Bag-in-Box (BIB): high-density polyethylene pouch 100% recyclable, with a pouring tap, protected by a 100% recyclable cardboard.
The non-air system ensures total purity of the liquid until the last drop because air does not enter the container as it is being dispensed.
The possibility of water contamination by the introduction of ambient air inside the container is almost nil. In this way, the consumption period of seawater is significantly extended once the Bag in Box is opened.
- Ecology:
The various life cycle analyses of BIBs versus glass bottles (75 cL) show a pronounced advantage for the former.
> Carbon footprint 8 times lower than that of glass.
> Reduction of packaging weight, thus reducing energy consumption during transport.
> Transport optimization: before filling, the bags and boxes are delivered flat, it is necessary to so fewer trucks to deliver the same quantity of BIB; after filling, the rectangular format allows for optimized palletization. A truck carrying 5-liter BIBs is equivalent to more than 7 trucks carrying 75 cl bottles.
> Limit food waste with its "on-demand service" system and extended preservation.
> 100% recyclable: if properly sorted, both the cardboard and the pouch are very easily recyclable in France.
> Energy efficient: unlike glass, producing a BIB requires less energy for the same amount of liquid transported.
> Avoid wild pollution: Due to its large size, it is extremely unlikely to find the packaging in nature, thrown on the street or in the sea. Unlike traditional plastic food packaging, it is almost certain that it will not leave the recycling/household waste chain.
- Regarding plastic:
A multitude of plastics of very different qualities exist in the food market. Our BIBs are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), suitable for food contact, which is the highest quality plastic that resists seawater very well: no migration of plastic substances through leaching has been detected.
Below is a comparison of the most commonly used plastics:
COMPARISON OF PACKAGING PLASTICS
Plastic No. 1
PET: Polyethylene Terephthalate is the most common type of plastic used in food packaging.
Strongly discouraged - the cheapest
It is commonly found in soda bottles, water bottles, and cooking oil bottles. Risks: it can release antimony and benzene. At certain temperatures and depending on the type of "liquid," the migration is very high.
In the case of seawater, its use is discouraged because the high salinity and the ability of seawater as a solvent allow for the migration of toxic substances from PET plastic in a highly accelerated manner. The main compounds released are: Antimony, Formaldehyde, Acetaldehyde, and Trihalomethane compounds.
Using such plastic to package seawater is simply not acceptable.
100% recyclable.
Plastic No. 2
HDPE: The Polyethylene High Density is widely used in household product bottles.
The safest - the most expensive
It is commonly found in packaging for milk, plastic bags, yogurt pots, wine, oil, and seawater.
Easy to handle, it is resistant to extreme temperatures, waterproof, and impermeable to gas and aromas. This is the material we have chosen for the Bag in Box. Guaranteed to be free of phthalates and BPA.
100% recyclable.
