History: After a chance encounter with two Brazilian women in a New York bar in 2003, hearing about the tasty beverage they missed from back home, Michael Kirban and his friend Ira Liran wanted to introduce coconut water to the U.S. market. Coconut water powder is derived from the liquid found inside young, green coconuts. It undergoes a drying process to create a convenient, shelf-stable powder form. This powder retains many of the same nutritional benefits as fresh coconut water but offers some unique advantages.
Daily Intake: A study in 42 women who were considered overweight found that consuming a low calorie diet that included 26 grams of coconut flour per day for 9 months reduced total cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
Supplementation: Coconut water contains essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These minerals play a crucial role in muscle function, nerve transmission, and overall health.
Weight Loss Support: The low-calorie nature of coconut water makes it a great choice for those watching their weight. It’s a refreshing alternative to sugary drinks. Coconut water powder provides excellent hydration due to its electrolyte content. It’s even more effective at rehydrating the body after physical activity than regular water. During World War II, coconut water was used as an alternative to intravenous fluids when IVs weren’t available. It aids digestion and promote regular bowel movements due to its fiber content. The natural sugars and electrolytes in coconut water provide sustained energy during workouts or physical exertion. The vitamins and antioxidants in coconut water contribute to a healthy immune system. Some studies suggest that coconut water may help regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The hydrating properties of coconut water benefit your skin and hair, keeping them moisturized and healthy. It is also a good replacement for beverages and drinks made of sugar and sweetening ingredients for people with diabetes.
