Aqvita Launches Its Mineral Formulations with Metered Bag-on-Valve (mBOV) Technology for Direct-to-Consumer Use
At Aqvita, our mission has always been to rethink how minerals are delivered through water — combining health, precision, and sustainability.
Today, we are proud to announce an important evolution in our direct-to-consumer strategy: the launch of our patented mineral formulations using metered Bag-on-Valve (mBOV) technology.
This new delivery format has been specifically selected to support Aqvita’s growing DTC and consumer wellness activities, where ease of use, portability, precision, and user experience are essential.
Bringing Precision Mineralization to Everyday Consumers
As Aqvita expands its consumer-facing activities, one challenge became increasingly clear:
Consumers want mineral supplementation to be:
simple
clean
portable
precise
and easy to integrate into daily routines
Traditional supplement formats — such as large pills, electrolyte powders rich in chlorides and sodium, or packaged mineral waters — often create friction for daily use.
At the same time, Aqvita’s formulations are fundamentally different from conventional supplements. Our technology is based on supersaturated bicarbonate mineral solutions inspired by the chemistry of natural mineral waters.
Delivering these advanced formulations consistently and conveniently required a new generation of dispensing technology.
This is where mBOV becomes highly relevant.
Why mBOV Fits Aqvita’s DTC Vision
The Bag-on-Valve (BOV) architecture separates the formulation completely from the propellant gas. The product remains protected inside a sealed bag, while compressed air or nitrogen dispenses the liquid externally.
This technology already offers important advantages for consumer applications:
consistent performance from first to last use
360° usability, including upside-down operation
improved formulation stability
no contact between formulation and propellant
cleaner handling and premium user experience
The metered BOV (mBOV) adds another critical layer: accurate and repeatable dosing with each actuation.
For Aqvita’s consumer products, this precision is important because it allows users to easily control mineral intake while integrating the product naturally into their hydration habits.
The result is a system designed not only for functionality, but also for everyday usability.
A Consumer Experience Designed Around Simplicity
One of the key goals of Aqvita’s DTC activity is reducing complexity around mineral supplementation.
Consumers should not need to:
prepare powders
dissolve tablets
measure doses manually
or carry heavy packaged mineral water
With mBOV technology, Aqvita can offer a lightweight, portable, and intuitive experience where minerals can be delivered quickly and consistently into water.
Unlike traditional aerosols:
no shaking is normally required
the system functions reliably in any orientation
dosing consistency is maintained over time
the formulation remains isolated from the propellant
This makes the technology particularly well suited for:
active lifestyles
office use
travel
fitness and wellness routines
and consumers seeking healthier hydration habits
Aqvita’s Patented Formulation Technology
What makes the system unique is not only the dispensing platform, but also the formulation itself.
Aqvita’s products are based on supersaturated mineral bicarbonate solutions stabilized with dissolved CO₂.
Inside the system, CO₂ contributes to:
stabilization of the mineral formulation
propelling and support of stable dispensing dynamics
Combined with the external pressure of the BOV system, this creates a patented dual-pressure mechanism specifically adapted for advanced mineral formulations.
This approach enables the reliable delivery of formulations that would be challenging to dispense, let alone with conventional aerosol systems.
Supporting Aqvita’s Growing DTC Activities
The integration of mBOV technology is an important step in Aqvita’s broader DTC roadmap.
Over the coming months, Aqvita will continue expanding consumer testing, tastings, wellness partnerships, and hydration-focused experiences aimed at helping consumers rediscover the value of minerals in water.
The objective is not simply to sell another supplement format, but to create a new category of mineral delivery:
inspired by natural mineral waters
designed for modern lifestyles
and optimized for precision, convenience, and sustainability
The launch of Aqvita formulations with mBOV technology represents another step toward that vision.
