🌊 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 double Nobel Prize laureate, said, "all diseases are acidic, and where there is oxygen and alkalinity, disease cannot exist.".
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.

SHIPPING TIP: Place as many orders as the quantity to reduce the total shipping cost (which depends on the total weight of the order). Example: you want to order 3 boxes of 20L > place 3 orders of 1 box (rather than a single order of 3 units).
The total will cost you less !

- DDM: 3 years after the production date

- PackagingDimensions 24 x 24 x 41 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:
