Marine Plasma Spray 100ml
Hypertonic marine plasma, harvested in the open sea and ultrafiltered.
Format: small bottle with spray, made of 100ml glass, for simplified use in the kitchen.
HYPERTONIC MARINE PLASMA SPRAY FROM IBIZA
Sea water ultra-filtered at 0.01 micron, in a 100 ml spray bottle - a different way to season every day
The hypertonic marine plasma spray is exactly the same Ibiza sea water ultra-filtered at 0.01 micron as our 0.75 L bottle, but in a 100 ml glass bottle with a spray pump. In concrete terms, this is the format I take everywhere: a few sprays straight onto the plate to season a dish. It is the simplest alternative to the classic salt shaker - and it also works very well for external use (nose, skin).
THE POWER OF THE SEA!
Equivalent to hypertonic Quinton® water in quality and process, this marine plasma is ultra-filtered sea water, packed in a spray bottle.
This sea water is ultra-filtered and then packed in a 100 ml glass bottle with a spray, to guarantee maximum quality and easy everyday use.
🌊 How do you use the spray?
- At the table, in place of salt - This is the flagship use of the spray format. A few sprays straight onto the plate, salad or dish let you season differently. Add at the end of preparation, without cooking.
- In cooking and lacto-fermentations - Ideal for seasoning vegetable juices, sauces, vegetable pâtés, and for your lacto-fermented vegetables. See our articles: which salt should you use for lacto-fermentation? and lacto-fermentation with marine plasma.
- For external use - The spray pump is handy for nasal hygiene, as a facial mist or for gargling.
- Travel-friendly format - Its small 100 ml format slips into a bag: handy at the office, when travelling or at the restaurant, so you always have your mineral seasoning to hand.

🌊 Dosage: how much?
In concrete terms, how do I use it? To season a dish, a few sprays are enough, adjusted to your taste just as you would with a salt shaker. No maximum dose has been set for this everyday food use. For external use (nose, skin), simply spray onto the area concerned.
For more sustained internal use - as a drinking course or in diluted isotonic form - the 0.75 L bottle is better suited than the small spray bottle.

⚠️ Precautions for use
Hypertonic marine plasma is not recommended in cases of high blood pressure or a salt-free diet (high sodium content). If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have hyperthyroidism or a heart condition, consult your doctor or healthcare practitioner before any course. People who have had an organ transplant must not consume marine plasma without prior medical advice. To find out more: Quinton® water - dangers and side effects, what the science really says.

🌊 How do you make isotonic marine plasma?
The formula for making isotonic marine plasma (= marine plasma at the same concentration as blood plasma) from Ibiza & Formentera hypertonic marine plasma is as follows:
mix 1/4 hypertonic marine plasma + 3/4 spring water.
> For example, for 1 L of isotonic plasma = 250 ml hypertonic + 750 ml spring water
We advise keeping your isotonic water in a bottle in the fridge for 24 hours only.
> To find out more, read our blog article: isotonic or hypertonic marine plasma: what are the differences?.
🌊 How is this sea water collected?
The company Ibiza & Formentera Agua de Mar was founded by Alfonso and David. They pay very particular attention to the quality of this sea water and respect the biological and subtle phenomena of the water as much as possible, so as to keep all of its trace elements and minerals intact.
The collection of sea water for ultra-filtered plasma is very rigorous. Before intake, analyses are carried out with probes to make sure the water meets the expected parameters; Alfonso and David even taste a sample directly!
Collection in the open sea far from beaches and densely populated areas, intake at between 15 and 25 m in areas where the minimum depth varies between 40 and 100 m and where plankton concentration is at its highest (mainly in the vortices created by the confluence of several sea currents), no collection in summer when it is too hot... these are some of the very precise parameters they follow for every harvest.
The water is then micro-filtered at between 4 and 5 °C (when its density is at its best), then ultra-filtered (0.01 micron) and finally left to rest before being bottled.
Very thorough checks are carried out on every batch to guarantee water that is free from pollutants, hydrocarbons, micro-plastics, heavy metals and pathogens.

🌊 Where is this sea water collected?
The islands of Ibiza and Formentera were not chosen at random for collecting marine plasma. It is important that the water comes from the Mediterranean Sea, because it is the only ecosystem that combines these advantages:
- Posidonia seagrass meadows (oxygen production and CO2 capture), listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999
- Natura 2000 protected zones and "marine protected areas"
- very restrictive regulations (products used and traffic)
- no nuclear pollution
Collection takes place mainly off the west coast of the island of Ibiza, the area richest in Posidonia meadows and plankton, and therefore in marine life, and where the sea currents keep the sea water perfectly clean.

🌊 What are the differences between the bottle, the BIBs and Quinton® water?
The spray contains the same ultra-filtered water as the 0.75 L bottle. Here is a quick comparison of the pack formats:
100 ml spray & 75 cL bottle (glass)
- Micro-filtration then 0.01 micron ultra-filtration
- Cold filtration
- Collected at a depth of 25 m with prior testing
- More than 100 parameters checked (Quinton® process)
Bag-in-Box (3 L to 20 L)
- 0.22 micron micro-filtration
- Cold filtration
- Collected at a depth of 5 m
- Use: cooking, lacto-fermentation, everyday use in large volumes
The René Quinton process is a registered patent. It uses double filtration under very controlled conditions, and more than 100 parameters are assessed after collection. The Ibiza & Formentera spray and bottle, with their ultra-filtration at 0.01 micron, use this same process. Their final quality is identical and they can be used in the same way as Quinton® water.
🌊 What our customers think

In the kitchen, sea water lifts and improves the flavour of many foods without masking their authentic taste. It is a substitute for ordinary salt (sodium chloride) - and that is precisely the preferred use of the spray, a few sprays straight onto the plate. You can also use it in your lacto-fermented vegetable recipes.
🌊 SEA WATER, AN INIMITABLE COMPOSITION
Sea water has such a varied chemical composition that it cannot be synthesised artificially. What exactly does that mean?
Sea water cannot be manufactured, because it contains many elements in trace amounts that make an "industrial" or "home-made" synthesis unconvincing. Such a mixture is simply salt water that does not have the composition of sea water.
The salt we can buy does not contain all the mineral salts and trace elements already dissolved in sea water. Most commercial salt loses, during processing, drying and refining, a large proportion of the components found in sea water, leaving only sodium and chlorine. Not to mention the additives added by some brands.
So ordinary salt, even of marine origin, is nothing like sea water: it is simply sodium chloride (NaCl).

COLLECTING MARINE PLASMA BY BOAT
Our suppliers in Ibiza collect sea water by boat in the best possible conditions, close to the recommendations of René Quinton. As far as we know, and unless proven otherwise, only five companies in the world collect by boat in this way (the others draw water from the coast). What is more, they use the most advanced technologies in "sensitive" water analysis, being the representatives of the Masaru Emoto foundation in Spain and the only ones in Spain to own a dark-field microscope.
As for the process: the water is captured at the right moment on the high seas, in an area between 40 and 200 metres deep; the intake takes place at between 15 and 25 metres down, in areas favoured for the great stability of their mineral composition and rich in marine biological activity (the vortices that concentrate plankton).
> To find out more, we have made an explanatory video about collecting sea water and the various processes used to obtain bottled marine plasma and the Bag-In-Box version:
After meeting our suppliers, we were very surprised by the various sea water harvesting practices that exist around the world. We look for the best international suppliers for all our products and we travel all over the world to see how they work, and when something does not meet our standards, we impose our own specifications so that the quality is optimal.
According to our information, many European companies pump water from harbours, beaches, the coast, sea water desalination units or even inland salt wells.
Our supplier collects hypertonic marine plasma by boat in areas where plankton activity is at its highest and where Posidonia meadows ensure excellent oxygenation. That said, collection within a vortex, which is the icing on the cake, is not 100% guaranteed; it may be partial or even absent when the boat arrives in these areas of very intense marine life. The reason is a practical one: vortices vary in duration and are short-lived and unpredictable, so they do not allow water to be collected for very long or in very large volumes. The arguments you may come across here and there about collecting in vortices from the shore (not by boat) deserve close scrutiny...
> Our suppliers also use four methods for analysing water quality:
- Water crystals (Masaru Emoto)
- Dark-field microscopy
- Mora therapy (Jean Marie Danze)
- Bio-Well technology (Korotov)
Here is a very simple question to ask your usual marine plasma supplier to see things more clearly:
"How and under what conditions is your sea water collected, and do you have photos or videos of your boats and your harvests?"
The best quality marine plasma must be collected at particular sites in the presence of high concentrations of plankton (blooms), which appear spontaneously after a few days of fine, windless weather and in certain seasons (not in summer, when the water is too warm), in specific places where sea currents meet and favour the formation of moving vortices (like cyclones).
Vortices and plankton blooms are natural, short-lived phenomena that occur only in certain places when these particular conditions come together. You have to be in the right place at the right time. A boat seems to me to be the only serious way to collect in this manner.
You will always find a great deal of information about the location, the processing of the sea water and its many uses from the companies that sell it; I have never seen a single photo or video of a harvesting boat, and the exact, precise details of the harvest are very rarely mentioned, even though to me these are fundamental and essential points.
As an ISTOM engineer and co-founder of Biovie since 2007, these are always the points that interest me first and foremost: sourcing of the highest possible quality. After more than 33 years of living, vegan food, I only put forward what I eat myself every day. I personally visit every supplier to check the harvesting and production conditions. That is the case with Ibiza & Formentera Agua de Mar marine plasma: I went there, I met Alfonso and David, I saw the boats.

Frequently asked questions about the hypertonic marine plasma spray
What is the hypertonic marine plasma spray for?
The 100 ml spray is first and foremost an alternative to the salt shaker: a few sprays straight onto the plate, salad or dish let you season differently. It can also be used externally (nasal hygiene, misting on the skin, gargling). Its small format makes it a travel-friendly product, easy to take with you. It is the same water ultra-filtered at 0.01 micron as our 0.75 L bottle.
How much spray should you use?
To season a dish, a few sprays to taste, as with a salt shaker, with no maximum dose set for this everyday food use. Add at the end of preparation, without cooking. For external use, spray onto the area concerned. For a drinking course or a diluted isotonic form, the 0.75 L bottle is better suited than the spray bottle.
Does the spray contain the same water as the bottle and the Bag-in-Boxes?
The 100 ml spray and the 0.75 L bottle contain the same water collected at 25 m and ultra-filtered at 0.01 micron (René Quinton process). The Bag-in-Boxes (3 L to 20 L) contain water collected at 5 m and micro-filtered at 0.22 micron, designed more for cooking in large volumes. All come from the same supplier, Ibiza & Formentera Agua de Mar.
What are the contraindications of hypertonic marine plasma?
Hypertonic marine plasma is not recommended in cases of high blood pressure or a salt-free diet. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have hyperthyroidism or a heart condition, consult your doctor before any course. People who have had an organ transplant must not consume marine plasma without prior medical advice.
