The tree-lined road to ION's main gate

Research came first.

Ion Live Science grew out of water-quality research that began in 1998, and still makes its water on its own campus in Bangladesh.

THE JOURNEY

Research is the starting point.

ION's story began with experiments in water quality, grew into environmental engineering, and became a dedicated water research and manufacturing company.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Our work goes beyond one bottle.

Starting with drinking-water quality, ION's development work has explored a wider range of water formulations and consumer products.

01 / WATER FORMULATIONS

Different waters. Different specifications.

The original company portfolio describes alkaline and mineral water, hydrogen water, ORP and lithium formulations, and waters developed for specific life stages or uses, including infant, kids', pregnancy-period and kidney water.

Product range and availability can vary. Explore the current catalogue for available options.

02 / BEYOND DRINKING WATER

A broader innovation pipeline.

The research team also describes work on cooking water, baking water and beauty water, along with low-GI diabetic flour, medicated tea, and pasteurized milk fortified with vitamins A and D.

These are areas described in ION's research history, not a promise that every product is currently for sale.

QUALITY & RESPONSIBILITY

Standards matter.

The company states that it follows quality references from WHO, FDA and Bangladesh Standards (BDS) and lists BSTI and ISO 9001:2015 among its certifications.

WHO and FDA are mentioned as reference frameworks, not as endorsements or certifications of the products.

Our history, in our words.

Research is the main key of best products……… Our research journey started in 1998 based on our own research products. At first in 2013 established DARK ETP LTD is a company that clean Effluent (waste water) in the Industrial Sector. Secondly established ION LIVE SCIENCE LIMITED (ILSL) in 2017. The company ILSL manufactures healthy drinking water “ion Alkaline Packaged Drinking Water” (Alkaline Water, Mineral Water, Hydrogen Water, ORP Water, Lithium Water, Pregnant Period Water, Kidney Water, Baby Water and Kids Water) followed under World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), USA and Bangladesh Standards (BDS). It is certified by BSTI and ISO 9001: 2015. The research team also established ion Cooking Water, ion Baking Water, ion Beauty Water, ion Diabetic Flour (low GI value), ion Medicated Tea & ion Vitamin A, D added Pasteurized Liquid Milk. By this time 3 research students gained their M.Sc. degrees based on our products (healthy drinking water & diabetic flour), from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Rajshahi University, Rajshahi. Now 2 M.Sc. students are doing their M.Sc. research on our products. Gradually developed a range of different research products. We operate in our eco-friendly manufacturing plant on 27 bigha land located in Natore Sadar, Natore, Rajshahi. Our products had massive response both locally and globally. Manufacturing products are available in all major cities (Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chittagong, Coxsbazar, Khulna, Sylhet, Comilla, Narayanganj, Gazipur, Bogra, Ruppoor power plant) in Bangladesh. As soon we will increase our marketing area. However, we aim to export our products globally.
