Magnesium is attracting renewed attention in nutrition and health discussions. A recent article in The Economist explores whether magnesium supplements can help with relaxation, sleep and mood. While scientific evidence remains mixed, one point is increasingly clear: many people may simply not consume enough magnesium in modern diets.

Most sports hydration products are still built around sodium chloride and taste masking. But hydration is more than salt replacement. Research shows magnesium from mineral water is well absorbed — especially when consumed gradually throughout the day. In collaboration with EXO, we explore a different model: functional hydration built on bicarbonate chemistry, not sweetened salt.

Menopause is not only a hormonal transition — it is also a mineral transition. Human studies show that magnesium from mineral water is well absorbed, and that distributed intake across the day improves retention. In collaboration with Queenager, we explore how functional hydration can support mineral adequacy during midlife.

At Aqvita, many of our conversations with customers, partners, and health-focused communities start with a simple question: “What’s actually in the water we drink every day?” Not just in terms of taste or filtration—but in terms of mineral composition, balance, and long-term relevance.

Water should be more than clean — it should be nourishing. This article explores how magnesium, stripped out by common purification methods, is often missing from what we drink, and why reintroducing it through mineral-enriched water matters for holistic hydration.

Tournée Minérale is not only about removing alcohol — it’s about reconsidering what we drink every day. As millions of Belgians pause for a month, we explore how mineral-rich water can become a more intentional baseline. Hydration doesn’t have to be neutral. It can be functional.

We are thrilled to announce that Aqvita has been selected to join the prestigious EIT Food Accelerator Network (FAN) for 2025, under the "Food as Medicine" program. This marks a significant milestone in our journey to revolutionize hydration through science-backed, functional water solutions.

In April 2025, Aqvita had the honor of participating in the European Desalination Society (EDS) conference in Porto—an event fully dedicated to exploring the impacts of desalination on water quality, public health, and environmental sustainability.

The first quarter of 2025 was a major milestone for Aqvita, with the team presenting its breakthrough mineralization technologies at two leading water industry events: the Kinneret Water Conference in Israel and the BlueTech Innovation Pavilion at Aquatech Amsterdam.

Magnesium plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the human body. It is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, particularly in energy metabolism, muscle, and nerve function. However, a significant portion of the population suffers from magnesium deficiency without realizing it, leading to various health issues. In this context, Aqvita provides an innovative solution, enriching drinking water with magnesium in a highly bioavailable form inspired by natural mineral waters.
