AND... If you like coconut water and believe in the health benefits, we suggest you check out another one of our products; Coconut Palm Nectar. is the sweet secretion that oozes out of the green coconut tree flower blossom and is loaded with potassium, calcium, magnesium, micro-nutrients and beneficial enzymes...
... Think of it this way: if you consider coconut water super healthy (which it is), then think about the fact that the coconut palm nectar is actually the life force that is feeding the coconut fruit and creates the coconut water! Yup, coconut palm nectar is basically the precursor to coconut water and is the reason why coconut water is soooooo good for us. To learn more about coconut palm nectar, click here.
I personally drink CocoHydro everyday. I exercise daily and I find that drinking CocoHydro before, during and after my work out (usually mountain biking), my body feels hydrated and my muscles are at ease. Plus, I just like the taste of coconut water. Yet, I also mix CocoHydro in with other juices to create blends. I've also been known to mix it with some "south of the border" mixes that include lime juice and a fermented beverage made from the agave plant.
We hope you enjoy your experience with CocoHydro™ and please feel free to share your experiences with us!
Thanks for your support!
