"Everything in the human body responds to the condition of our extracellular fluid ・
our internal 'marine aquarium.・Physiologically, it is a microcosm of the sea itself.・
-Rene Quinton
Extracellular fluid is basically human blood plasma, but there are several other fluids used in the human body for transport, export and basic performance of the cells in the body, such as lymph fluid, stomach acid, saliva, and mucosa. All of these fluids carry important chemicals,hormones and nutrients to the cells of the body. So why shouldn't you take good care of that extracellular fluid with marine plasma supplementation?

All About the Plankton Bloom Pt. III
Even though areas of the ocean have been found sufficient enough in macronutrients to support a plankton bloom, they have also been found to be lacking in Iron, which is essential for a plankton bloom to get started.
Scientists have found that by 'seeding' the waters with iron they've been able to get plankton blooms started in these barren areas of the ocean. There are a few good reasons for seeding the ocean with iron to start new plankton blooms.
1. Plankton are the basis of the food chain and provide food to many species of fish larva, so the number of fish is largely dependent on the amount of plankton.
2. Plankton blooms help pull carbon out of the atmosphere. Its been theorized that by seeding the ocean we can create plankton blooms large enough to halt global warming.
3. More Marine Plasma for us!

All About the Plankton Bloom Pt. II
Plankton require very specific conditions to get a nice plankton bloom started. There needs to be sufficient sunlight for the Phytoplankton. There also needs to be sufficient amounts of macronutrients and in particular the element Iron for a plankton bloom to get started. Macronutrients are chemical elements that many organisms need in large quantities in order to survive. Scientists have found areas of the ocean with sufficient light and macronutrients but lacking Iron so there are no plankton blooms. Coincidentally, humans need Iron to produce enough red blood cells otherwise we can develop a condition known as anemia.
By harvesting from these plankton blooms the makers of Original Quinton are ensuring that their product contains large percentages of Iron, and other essential nutrients.

All About the Plankton Bloom Pt. I
As you know, Marine Plasma is harvested from plankton blooms in the ocean. What you may not know is that the plankton bloom is made up of several different marine organisms that form their own miniature environmental cycle.
There are Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, and Bacterioplankton, each variety living at a different level of the plankton bloom and each carrying out a different responsibility. Phytoplankton live in the surface waters of the ocean. They are mostly algae and carry on through photosynthesis. The Zooplankton are small marine creatures such as tiny crustaceans that feed on other plankton within the plankton bloom. They live further down in the plankton bloom. Bacterioplankton are smaller organisms like archaea and they are responsible for remineralizing organic material within the bloom. These little guys are the recyclers of the plankton bloom and help to return some of the essential nutrients to the marine plasma that can be taken up by other phytoplankton.

Study Indicates Components in Seawater Can Help Dermatitis
Most of the research done on seawater and its benefits has been done in Europe. Over here in the states we just don't seem to be that aware of the possibility of taking a mineral supplement in the form of seawater.
Here's another pdf. on how well seawater works to heal the dermatitis in man, it also indicates that the components in seawater are what are responsible for healing the dermatitis.

Seawater Supplements Not Going to Dehydrate You
There are many things in the sea, in fact as I've said before on here, it's thought that all life came from the sea. So why is it so hard to believe that seawater properly filtered and packaged can be good for you?
Maybe, it's just the fact that we all know drinking seawater will make you ill. It's true, however, this is due to dehydration. There's lots of salt in seawater, so it will dehydrate you even faster if you drink it without fresh water available. Seawater supplements are not sold in large buckets of water, but small ampoules so you won't dehydrate by taking the supplement on a regular basis. Plus ideally people, you won't be taking these supplements without drinking that classic 8 glasses of fresh water on a daily basis.
