Recreating Nature’s Mineral-Rich Water—Instantly

At Aqvita, a Belgian start-up, founded by Philippe Tob, we believe that pure, mineral-rich water should be accessible to everyone, straight from the tap. Inspired by nature, we have developed a groundbreaking technology that infuses purified water with essential minerals like magnesium and calcium, mirroring the natural processes that form mineral water in the earth. Our patented bicarbonate-based infusion system delivers the benefits of high-quality mineral water—without plastic waste, inefficiency, or compromise.

The Challenge: A Better Alternative to Pills and Bottled Water

Many people struggle with taking mineral supplements in pill form, especially magnesium, which is essential for cardiovascular health, muscle function, and overall well-being. The alternatives—plastic-bottled mineral water and electrolyte powders—are either unsustainable, inconvenient, or fail to replicate the bioavailable mineral composition found in natural sources.

Aqvita provides a simple solution: a precise, instant mineral infusion system that allows you to create your own high-quality mineral infused water at home, at work, or on the go.

Our Innovations: Science Meets Sustainability

Aqvita is built on years of scientific research and patented innovations, developed to provide a superior alternative to bottled mineral water and supplements. Our core technologies include:

• Spray-Based Mineral Infusion – A clean, natural way to add magnesium and other minerals to water, without preservatives or additives.

• Bicarbonate Chemistry for Mineral Infusion – Our patented process uses supersaturated solutions of magnesium and calcium bicarbonate to precisely dose minerals into purified water, replicating nature’s water cycle.

• CO₂-Stabilized Mineral Infusion – Our breakthrough stabilization technology ensures that minerals stay dissolved and bioavailable in water, improving both taste and health benefits.

• Enzymatic Remineralization (In Development) – Our latest research focuses on using carbonic anhydrase, a natural enzyme, to accelerate the dissolution of minerals in water, unlocking new possibilities for carbon capture and sustainable remineralization.

Each of these technologies is designed to bring natural hydration into modern lifestyles, minimizing waste while addressing health needs.

A Founder’s Journey: From Adversity to Innovation

Aqvita is more than a company—it’s a personal mission. I’m Philippe Tob, a chemical engineer and inventor. My inventive activity started with the challenge of replicating the mineral quality of Evian-style water, instantly, from desalinated water. But my journey took an unexpected turn in 2018 when I was diagnosed with leukemia.

Going through cancer treatment changed my perspective on health, resilience, and the importance of my drinking and eating habits. Magnesium, for example, plays a vital role in heart health, stress regulation, and disease prevention—yet most people don’t get enough of it. My battle with illness and the side effects of chemotherapy, reinforced my commitment to bringing better hydration solutions to the world, combining engineering with a deeply personal mission.

Despite the setbacks of illness and the challenges of building a startup during the COVID crisis, I remained determined to make Aqvita a reality. I hold multiple patents in water mineralization technology, and today, Aqvita stands at the intersection of health, sustainability, and innovation.

A Vision for the Future

We envision a world where everyone can enjoy high-quality, naturally mineralized water with ease. Whether you’re looking to optimize your hydration, support your wellness journey, or find a sustainable way to meet your daily mineral and vitamins needs, Aqvita offers a solution that’s rooted in nature and backed by science.

Our goal is not to replace existing hydration options but to offer an alternative that fits seamlessly into modern lifestyles. For those who prefer a convenient, natural, and precise way to add essential minerals like magnesium and calcium to their water, Aqvita provides an innovative approach that aligns with both personal wellness and environmental responsibility.

As we continue to grow—scaling our technology, expanding partnerships, and bringing Aqvita to a wider audience—we invite you to join us on this journey.

Because better water isn’t just about taste. It’s about life.
