The Science Behind Vivimus
Our industry-leading scientific approach — developed by university analytical chemists — combines advanced molecular purification with high-resolution laboratory testing to detect and remove contaminants like PFAS, microplastics and heavy metals at ultra-trace levels, ensuring exceptional purity in every drop.
A new standard of purity
Introducing Molecular Vapour Compression (MVC)
Instead of filtering or bottling groundwater, we transform ocean water into ultra-pure H₂O using our proprietary Molecular Vapour Compression (MVC) process — a pharmaceutical-grade, multi-stage vacuum distillation system developed exclusively for Vivimus.
In this closed-loop system, ocean water is vaporised under precise temperature and pressure conditions, separating pure water molecules from trace impurities and volatile compounds.
The result is water 99.999% free of PFAS, heavy metals and microplastics, a level of purity no natural filtration or standard distillation process can match.
World-leading water analytics
Purity, proven.
Through our proprietary analytical methods, we verify that every drop of Vivimus is free from impurities like PFAS and microplastics at an industry-leading precision of one part per trillion.
These techniques confirm that every drop of Vivimus is free from organic and inorganic impurities, structurally stable, and electrolytically balanced — achieving pharmaceutical-grade verification unmatched by any bottled water brand.
Mineralised to mirror the human body
After purification, our water is restructured through a scientifically calibrated re-mineralisation process — developed in partnership with analytical chemists and physiologists to mirror the body’s natural ionic balance.
We begin with a base of pure H₂O, then reintroduce precise ratios of calcium, magnesium, sodium and trace electrolytes to optimise absorption, hydration, and physiological function.
The result is a functionally superior hydration profile — designed not just to quench, but to support wellness at a molecular level.
An ocean of sustainability
The spring water companies aren't happy with us. But the springs are.
Unlike spring water brands that deplete inland springs and aquifers communities and wildlife rely on, Vivimus comes from an infinitely renewable source: the cold waters of Scotland's North Sea.
Every litre of water is separated into two outputs:
• 100% pure H₂O, re-mineralised to create Vivimus.
• Concentrated brine, used by East Neuk Salt Co. to create artisanal sea salts and mineral therapies.
This zero-waste circular system ensures that every drop and mineral has purpose, and that brine does not get discared back into the ocean, where it can affect marine life.
Our proprietary distillation process is powered by renewable energy and uses heat-recovery systems that recycle thermal energy at each stage, reducing total energy demand by up to 70% compared to conventional methods.
