BiOcean Hypertonic™ is used to stay healthy despite the inadequate supply of minerals in the daily diet, for athletes of all levels, for overexertion and exhaustion, convalescence and colonic irrigation.
BiOcean Hypertonic™ is not recommended in cases of high blood pressure, or cardiac or kidney problems, where BiOcean Isotonic™ is the approved choice.
BiOcean Hypertonic™ can restore the health of the organism by re-establishing biological equilibrium. It tends to revitalize the cells progressively by restoring the supply of all the minerals necessary to a fully-functioning metabolism.

What is the Hypertonic definition : hypertonic means high solute concentration, low water concentration.
The ability of a solution to change the shape or tone of cells by altering their internal water volume is called tonicity (tono = tension). In biology, a hypertonic cell environment has a higher concentration of solutes than inside the animal or plant cell. In a hypertonic environment, osmotic pressure causes water to flow out of the cell. If enough water is removed in this way, the cytoplasm will have such a small concentration of water that the cell has difficulty functioning.
A cell that is in a hypertonic environment has a higher concentration of solute in the environment than in the inside of the cell, making the net flow of water out of the cell. A cell in a hypotonic environment has a lower concentration of solute in the environment than in the inside of the cell, making the net flow of water into the cell, eventually causing cell lysis.
A solution which has a higher concentration of solutes than that in a cell is said to be hypertonic. This solution has more solute particles and, therefore, relatively less water than the cell contents.
In simple terms a hypertonic solution is when there is a weak concentration of solute in the cell thus implicating that it has a higher concentration of water, so then the water would move from the higher concentration within the cell to the environment, so it would then decrease in mass for example in the osmosis experiment with the potato chip. If the chip is placed in a sucrose concentration which is higher than its own, the weaker concentration in the chip would have more water than the environment its in and the water would move from the higher concentration to the lower so the water would be lost to the environment thus decreasing the mass and length of the potato piece.

The opposite of hypertonic is hypotonic, where the net movement of water is into the cell; the intermediate state is called isotonic, where there is no net movement of water. This does not mean, however, that water is not moving; it means that water is moving both ways but with equal force, so the water concentration on either side of the cell membrane ultimately does not change. When a hypotonic cell dies, its remains are absorbed by other similar hypotonic cells.
