Metasilicate Acid Media: The Science-Backed Way to Fortify Drinking Water with Silicon & Alkalinity

1. Hook & Problem  

   75 % of adults consume less than the recommended daily intake of silicon, a trace element vital for bone, skin and vascular health. Ordinary bottled mineral waters contain only 0–25 mg/L of metasilicate—far below therapeutic levels.

   

2. Solution Snapshot  

   ZONE Metasilicate Acid Media is a ceramic filter media engineered to deliver 60 mg/L+ of bio-available metasilicate while simultaneously raising pH to a gentle 8.0–8.5.

 

3. How It Works  

   • High-temperature sintering locks metasilicate, kaolin and functional minerals into porous granules.  

   • Controlled dissolution releases silicon ions over 21+ days without oversaturation.  

   • Alkaline-buffering minerals neutralize free H⁺, creating stable weak-alkaline water.

 

4. Clinical & Lab Evidence  

   • 24-hour dynamic test: 61.5 mg/L metasilicate on day 1, plateauing at 30–40 mg/L through day 21.  

   • Comparative table: ZONE media vs. 6 global bottled waters (0–24.95 mg/L).

 

5. Production & Quality Assurance  

   • 160,000 t/year capacity across 3 roller-kiln lines in Zibo, Shandong.  

   • ISO 9001:2015 certified; dual R&D & QC labs test every batch for dissolution rate, pH and heavy-metal compliance.

 

6. Customer Use Cases  

   • Countertop alkaline pitchers  

   • Undersink remineralization cartridges  

   • Commercial beverage bottling plants seeking “silicon-rich” label claims

 

7. Sustainability & Economics  

   • 1 kg treats up to 15,000 L, cutting plastic bottle waste and annual spend.
