Why Staying Hydrated Matters and Why Water Alone Isn’t Always Enough

At Regenify Health, we focus on simple, natural habits that support how you feel every day.

Hydration is one of those foundations but it isn’t just about drinking water. True hydration also depends on the essential minerals (electrolytes) that help your body absorb and use water effectively.
We prefer clean, single-ingredient, minimally processed sources of electrolytes.
For daily living we use Oryx Salt from the Kalahari and for convenient on-the-go mineral support we like Quinton, a marine plasma.
Why hydration is more than water
Water replaces fluids, but everyday life, exercise, heat, long days, travel or feeling run down, increases your need for minerals such as sodium, potassium and magnesium. These minerals help with muscle function, nerve signalling and maintaining fluid balance.
If you only replace water, you may still feel “not fully hydrated,” which for many people shows up as low energy, fogginess, tension or muscle tightness. Supporting hydration with both fluids and minerals can feel more balanced.

Hydration, electrolytes & headaches, what research suggests
Some research suggests that better hydration, including restoring key minerals, may help reduce the frequency, duration or severity of headaches or migraines in certain individuals, particularly when dehydration is one of their triggers.
Studies exploring minerals such as magnesium and potassium also highlight their role in nerve and muscle function, which may support people who experience headaches.
This highlights how balanced hydration and mineral intake can play a supportive role in how your body feels day to day.
Key electrolytes (in simple terms)
• Sodium: Supports fluid balance and basic nerve and muscle function.
• Potassium: Supports muscle activity and general cellular processes.
• Magnesium: Helps muscles relax and supports energy pathways.
• Calcium: Involved in muscle contraction and cellular signalling.
• Chloride/bicarbonate: Help maintain acid–base balance.

Why electrolytes matter for the body’s natural electrical flow and how this relates to the Human Regenerator
Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium carry an electrical charge. They help maintain the tiny voltage differences across cell membranes that allow nerves to signal, muscles to contract, and fluids to move in and out of cells. In simple terms, they help keep the body’s natural “electrical environment” stable. The Human Regenerator works within this same landscape: it delivers an electron-rich environment designed to support the body’s own processes at a cellular level. When your electrolyte levels are well balanced, your internal electrical system is already functioning more smoothly, which may help you feel more settled, responsive and receptive during a session on the Human Regenerator. It’s one of the reasons we focus on hydration and mineral balance as part of an overall wellness approach.

Why we like Oryx Salt (Kalahari)
Oryx Desert Salt fits our Regenify philosophy: single ingredient, naturally sourced and minimally processed.
It comes from a remote, pristine salt-pan deep in the Kalahari Desert, harvested from an ancient, naturally replenishing underground aquifer. The salt is unrefined and unprocessed, preserving a broad spectrum of natural trace minerals and micronutrients that are often removed in typical table salts.
Packaging is intentionally eco-conscious: Oryx uses high-quality ceramic grinders, which avoid micro-plastic contamination and are fully reusable and refillable, a true “refill not landfill” approach.
We use Oryx Salt in our everyday cooking, allowing mineral support to become part of normal daily nutrition.

Why we use Quinton marine plasma
Quinton is a purified, microfiltered ocean-derived mineral solution containing a broad spectrum of naturally occurring electrolytes, with around 78 minerals and trace elements in ionic form. These are the forms the body can naturally recognise and use.
What makes Quinton unique is the way it is collected and prepared:
• Sourced from specific plankton-rich ocean areas where mineral content is naturally balanced
• Cold-microfiltered several times to maintain purity
• Contains no additives, no sugars and no artificial ingredients
• Packaged in pharmaceutical-grade glass ampoules, avoiding plastic exposure and preserving mineral integrity
• Available as Isotonic (mirroring the ionic profile of human plasma) and Hypertonic (a more concentrated mineral solution)
We like Quinton because it offers a clean, natural and convenient way to support mineral intake, especially on busy days or when you feel run down.
Our daily rhythm at Regenify Health:
• Morning: Quinton Hypertonic
• Evening: Quinton Isotonic
• High-exercise or low-energy days: A little more for additional support
Always follow manufacturer guidance, and anyone with sodium-sensitive conditions should seek professional advice.
A simple rhythm many of our clients find helpful
Using Oryx Salt naturally through food, with Quinton Hypertonic in the morning and Isotonic in the evening, adjusting slightly on busy or high-exercise days, keeps mineral support easy, natural and intuitive as part of everyday living.
Where to find these
